On the January 21 Louis Vuitton presented three hilarious handipainted bags created by a duo of Vuitton menswear designer Paul Helbers and young and aspiring German artist Christian Schoeler. The new items of Louis Vuitton Menswear A/W 10-11, which were unveiled on the catwalks, definitely stood out in the line of harsh-style clothes.
The artist is a follower of the 19th century painting and developed the 3 limited edition models — 2 large weekender-style bags and one square rucksack — in strict conformity to the art school rules. Still, as there is not the whole picture on the bags, the image seems to be just like a nice blur.
“These are good for traveling, they remind me of the nomadic life artists often lead. It’s not really about the bag, but about mobile life,” told Schoeler about the collaboration with Louis Vuitton. “All artists’ clothes are covered in stains, like an accidental customization”, he continued. “My life is about creativity and that applies to art, but also to fashion.”
