The Style of Nemeth, Which Enthralled Japan, is Revived

At this pop-up store, Louis Vuitton2015-16 Autumn/Winter Ready-to-Wearwill be available, along with leather goods and accessories curated by stylist Judy Blame, offering a wide range of unique items. Christopher Nemeth, the British artist who inspired the collection, is considered a pioneer of the "deconstructed" style born from free thinking. After moving his base from London to Japan in the late 1980s, his fashion brand, bearing his own name, gathered a fervent following in Japan.

Kim Jones, Louis Vuitton's Men's Artistic Director, has paid homage to Nemeth, whom he long admired, through this collection, marking five years since Nemeth's passing.

Kim Jones himself oversaw the store's design, with an exterior of acrylic and aluminum expressing Louis Vuitton's iconic "trunk." The interior, based on exposed concrete floors and white walls, features Nemeth's iconic rope motif throughout, creating a sophisticated and graphic image.

Kim Jones, who visited Japan for the pop-up store, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony. He also spoke about the collection: "For this season's leather items, we've incorporated several of Nemeth's iconic prints, such as the 'round rope' on leather goods and the 'giant rope' on knitwear and shearling coats. There are many statement pieces with strong imagery this time, and each can create a unique style on its own."

Additionally, a limited-edition leather collection specially created for this store has been born. Items that fuse Louis Vuitton's history with Nemeth's spirit, featuring the rope motif printed on Monogram canvas, are abundantly available. As these will only be sold at this pop-up store worldwide, we encourage you to check them out early.
