I, too, have destroyed a man's dreams and ambitions. His soul is one of my favorites in my 1998-2000 collection.Originally Posted by caravaggio
The fact that I love art notwithstanding, this post actually happens to assess a few bags from Louis Vuitton's latest line which involved designs by Richard Prince. Many of their recent collections have involved some of the biggest names in the contemporary art scene, like the late Stephen Sprouse and Takashi Murakami, who I did a post on as well.
I don't think you can really discuss any of these bags without discussing why they even exist. As I said in the post, I'm a big proponent of knowing the reason behind why a product exists: its history; its ties to the brand; its ties to the client, if any. Some people, like I mentioned in the post, mindlessly consume and that's bad--for the consumer but not usually for the companies. The whole point behind replicas, I think, is to be smarter and more savvy with your money. But I know there are some people who typically think that since the items are less expensive than genuine they should just go hog wild and buy anything and everything. I think that's a not only stupid but fiscally irresponsible. My posts are not for the stupid or fiscally irresponsible. I like that I can offer both consumer info and just general information as well; people will walk away with SOMETHING from posts.
When I wrote this post, I wasn't bored. What people may or may not realize, is that when I do these posts, I do them for the benefit of not only all the members but I also for myself because I gain extra knowledge from doing them as well; just when I thought I knew it all too. Believe me, my time is NOT wasted.
