Louis Vuitton and Murakami

[hideouschud]

I Love Japan.

[MultiRipper88]

wow superb video .

:)

[hideouschud]

Is art ready for fashion. Or is fashion ready for art. There is a fine line between commercialism and hype. What you see here is Hype. Murakami is good at being ironic, so all he has to do is stand there and smile. Here money plays a big part. Why is it that something as fleeting as fashion attaches itself to something as stable as art. That there is the bigger question. Money. Fame. Cool. What we all want. Right.

[Quagmire97]

@ARIAS21229

damn really? you should kill yourself then. Seriously shut the fuck up, its not my fault you dont appreciate everything he has brought to the table. Say what you will, but if there is anyone who is going to represent this generation of music, it is Kanye West.

[ARIAS21229]

@Quagmire97 R u serious you stupid cunt? KANYE???????????! his an idiot, wannabe!!! who cant dress for shit.  Sry im not an obsessed stupid cheap fuck like you, i just see how it is, he sucks so suck it up dick weed/

[Quagmire97]

@ARIAS21229

Oh right I forgot youre just a fashion whore. And did you just say kanye cant dress for shit? haha thats funny. Why dont you suck it up that you will never make it in life unlike him?

[ARIAS21229]

@Quagmire97 lmao r u serious!? ill over step that bitch, and besides i rather be a $2 whore at some abandoned corned in the city then be a stupid, selfish, jerk like him and yes he cant dress for shit. so hush up bitch. and yes i am a fashion whore, got a problem with it slut?

[Quagmire97]

@ARIAS21229

He must be doing something smart if he is that famous. So he cant be stupid. Next being selfish. Ok you can go ahead and tell me you are not selfish, but everyone is and Kanye West is considered selfish because of the media. A jerk? How about I record you being a dick to someone and play it 1 million times over the media? There you go, not only have I proved you are wrong, I have proved that you are a media tool who only judges people based on what they do on TV. fuck off bitch.

[ARIAS21229]

@Quagmire97 Go eat dick you bitch! i would never put someone down like that on a national TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! never! its an obvious fact that he is a stuck up bitch. thats the end of it, insulting me wont change my mind you dumb fuck. he is a tacky. PERIOD! now go suck his dick.

[Quagmire97]

@ARIAS21229

Its an obvious fact that you are a faggot who misjudges everyone. There I said it myself so its obviously true. dumbass

[ARIAS21229]

@Quagmire97 whats wrong with being a faggot? dick weed, there no miss-judgment here fuck face its the faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacts, get it right shit face. i wont reply to your dumb ass low life shit anymore i got better things to do then talk about this dumb fuck and talk to someone as idiotic as you.

[Quagmire97]

@ARIAS21229

Yes and I am just saying you are a faggot. Its a fact. There you go. Kanye West is not a stuck up bitch, he is not the one who always sticks with one thing and never lets go of it. Kanye West might be selfish or egotistical, but thats who he is, and everyone has atleast some selfish traits.

[jkl9093]

3:23 reminds me of kanye's cd graduation

[zzeroheroo]

@jkl9093 it is buddy

[AnimeGuruma]

[goldenchyld69]

Japanese Anime meets Fashions meets Hip- Hop!! Enough said!!

[destineedoesdallas]

i just found out about Takashi Murakami in my humanities class today and im fascinated! ive always loved anime so i find his work awesome.

[goobster1217]

[FreeLouisVuittonBag]

I love Louis Vuitton...

[alignated]

I love Murakami. ♥

[scorpiomooselove]

@alignated me too! and vuitton!!

[scorpiomooselove]

trippyyyyy

[taylorschwickert]

whether you hate him or love him, murakami's art is completely innovative. the combination of surrealism, pop-art and, anime is compelling to say the least. his commercialization and mass production of art is an obvious reference to ever growing mass consumerism of western culture. while we squabble over the definition of art, murakami is chuckling in the corner watching the money stack up

[AnbusKi]

I'm sick of this "I'm better than you" attitude when it comes to art so what he markets his work you cant hate or deny it isn't art.

Not all artist want to die broke and insane in order to be recognized years and years after your death some desire the tangible.

[mytubeinyomouf]

2:53 reporter got owned!

[mattkim14]

i like the flower pillows

[human7170]

Im a classy guy and I love louie vittion, only if i could afford it.

[germanchap]

She pronounces "Louis Vuitton" spot on. But her Japanese is appalling. I mean it was like she didn't even try to pronounce his name right.

[Bromboe]

Murakami is the modern Andy Warhol.

^_^ Bro

[duckman32001]

except murakami turn his art into consumer product.

[Mauricioantoniofranc]

I would say he's a REVERSAL Warhol, no? also I think that's got a lot to do with the fact that in japan the distinction between art and graphic design doesn't exist

[Ceaser486]

Ummmmmmmmm, Murakami's mushroom pieces were strongly influenced by Hiroshima and Nagasaki.............I wonder in any of these people know that

[Mauricioantoniofranc]

it's awesome, hundreds of rich people just admiring one of the most horrible human accomplishments... murakami is a genius

[sachboi]

I really dont see watso special I mean anyone whose has a manga-ish design style can do wat he does. just check out deviant art ull see millions of people with much more talent, he just got a lot of contacts or he was really lucky.

[shifta187]

to be that succesful you ALLWAYS need contacts+luck+ a little bit of talent!

[Mauricioantoniofranc]

... but they didn't, anyways, there's a LOT of exploration behind his work, and I mean, serious exploration, on japanese culture, on post war era, also, he has given grat support to other people in his field to be exposed the same way he has.

if you check there ain't a lot of superflat on devart. just animu, furries and the ocasional, actual Mangaka.

Murakami got famous becaus his art got to japan where it hurts, if you waqnna find out why, just do some research

[torason]

thank god someone who knows their shit!

[vivadeisaso101]

i love his artwork its inspiring and very colorful i think i want a tattoo of one of his artworks XD

[PenaltyKillah]

Sellout he is not. Or Warhol would've been. (Not aka Whore-hole, hope the folks back at the '60s didn't call him that)

But seriously, anime is being presented to the mainstream West as big video game franchises for kids (Pokémon, DBZ), a feeder for local news coverage of some accidental deaths (Naruto 'Sand Ninja'), and now this. Huh.

[rictit]

My men, Warhol was nobody in the world of the arts in his time, except just in USA. You know, the thing that he was famous, was because Capitalist buyers bought all his shit in order to show to Europe that we "AMERICANS"were also intelligents. But to be honest Murakami is extremely better artist compared with Warhol.

[hvfjcx]

at 3:23 the pic. reminds me of the "Graduation" cover

[marcovito]

murakami did it...

[hvfjcx]

yeah i know)

[Privledged1]

You people are Krzy Murakami is the shit you obviously have no taste and arent privledged enough to appreciate abstrakt pop art nor fine food/music they all rock in their own genres...

[khurit]

what a bunch of clowns especially kanye ellen and evangilista hahahha what kiss-ass wannabees take away their money and you have morons who have no talent or ability

droolerz and knuckle draggers

[mrm4xim4m]

what you so mad about!

[BALLIN02130]

1:26- She has no clue who Murakami is..what a dumbfuck!

[katamrikrazy]

since takashi is only the mind behind the creations and stuff you can't really credit him for all the work that was done by others so technically he isn't really and artist that has abilities and techniques so yeah

[djJordi]

Jacobs heh..

[Decembirth]

LOL thank you Ellen "No one should buy anything at all, we should just stare at stuff"

She sums up what fans think when they find their fav artist going mainstream.

Art shouldn't be exclusive to one group of people, and it shouldn't change fans minds when they find out that a Celebrity enjoys the same work they do.

Just share.

[hectorDaBoss]

heeeeeeee die moet ik hebben uit oostttt

[Squintsorz]

Vuitton looks like George from Parakiss with that blue hair.

Also as much as it does get to me that because it has murakami's name on it, it is seen as "art."

It's really just a fad we're all getting into, as anime/japan is getting much popular. But for god sakes those figurines are the only thing I can't approve of as art, but his prints are gorgeous though.

[ddtus]

人傻 钱多 速来!

stupid people, with tons of cash, come and enjoy!

[Rkooner]

wtf. this shit is terrible, fashion? More like Hello kitty, fuckin stupid slanty eyed designer, open your fucking eyes next time this is terrible, its a discrase to the french label aswell.

[equestryder]

1:40 "is this for sale?" ....dada... it's art because I say it is!

[Tazashi]

lol @ 4:38

[azadkevork]

Macias Counsel, Inc. Sues Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior for Malicious Conduct in Santee Alley "Knock-Offs" Case malicious prosecution lawsuit against Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior was filed today by downtown Los Angeles shop owners George Antounian, charging the company with bringing an unlawful lawsuit against them for selling knock-off products (Antounians v. Louis Vuitton et al, Los Angeles County Superior Court, Case No. BC396340).

[slipperysteven]

anime blows as creative as his dick is

[sfpapiman]

Murakami is so cloying that he makes Jeff Koons' work seem sobering.

[OuterRem]

Are you SERIOUS? These guys are CRAZY lol. They think they are hip for buying into OTAKUISM? Don't get me wrong guys, I'm a goddamn otaku I'll be the first to admit it. But jesus, this shit gets narvs like me ostracized. They are trying so hard to glorify it that it's hilarious. Murakami is creative but good lord...  they're trying to pretend nerdy design is popular. It's sidesplitting humor.

[Lazypoint7]

I totally agree with u, Its ridiculous I have no other words to say.

[hongpingmike]

will you please stop using the the Lord's name in vain. Thank you

[greebat]

I wish i could imitate murakami's art

[soymilk23]

they didnt show my lonesome cowboy didnt they

[liltwobad]

DOPE!

[mcqueen12345667]

marc looks so fucking high here.

[studio7manga]

Murakami is the modern Andy Warhol, I'm jealous. Also cool that the had shots of Hiropon and Lonesome Cowboy, I figured they'd be to prudish.

[8Patino2]

I imagine we are going to see more of the artist-designer collaborations. Prada's most recent fashion show showcased designs inspired by a famous cartoon artist.

[shnazztastic]

The host came to my school's art show in 2005 because her daughter used to be a student there.

She was a nice lady :P

[grrrfield]

haha ellen ;)
