richard prince + LV bags


the s/s08 LV Richard Prince designed bags poke fun at the very people who would carry a monogram bag anyhow complete with Henny Youngman jokes all over the side. Asthetically, I find this particular style to be soothing and would rather see one in a plexiglass case than swinging from the arm of a drunk celebutant and for the kajillion dollars they will cost I'd would rather have a shred of a nurse painting. However, judging by the prior artist collaborations with LV bags these will sell just as well despite the talks of the age of the IT bag being over. I mean, russia and dubai still exist and china was recently rated as being the #1 luxury good purchasing country which is kind of a mind trip considering it's history of giving canal street all of it's fine 'inspired' wares.
