FASHION SQUARE
Inspired by vibrant street art, Louis Vuitton invited three artists to work on its textiles. Californian Kenny Scharf and Inti from Chile both chose the giant silk square as their canvas. Scharf produced astronomic motifs and symbols of pop culture on a colourful, psychedelic background while Inti referenced Inca deities, painting a sun motif alluding to Wiracocha, god of the Tiwanaku culture. André Saraiva reproduced his famed Mr. A character on a paint-splattered Monogram shawl. “When I arrived in Paris in 1981, it was obvious to me that the street would become my school, my studio,” says Saraiva. “Graffiti is a way of challenging the domination of the City on individuals, a way to own it.”
