LIVING ON: BOOK AND EXHIBITION OF STEPHEN SPROUSE
Rock On Mars
Deitch Project Gallery
January 09, 2009 — February 28, 2009
18 Wooster Street, New York
Rock on Mars, a retrospective exhibition of the work of Stephen Sprouse, will transform Deitch Projects’s 18 Wooster Street gallery into a realization of Sprouse’s rock and roll futuristic vision.
Stephen Sprouse (1953-2004) was one of the most influential fashion designers of his time and a key figure in the dynamic mix of punk rock, wild style graffiti, and street influenced fashion that characterized the downtown New York community in the early 1980s. He was one of the first to build on the influence of Andy Warhol to create a fusion of art, music and fashion. He continued on a course that disavowed any division among these fields throughout his career.
In conjunction with the exhibition project, Marc Jacobs has created a new collection for Louis Vuitton, inspired by Sprouse’s famous collaboration with Louis Vuitton in 2001, which featured the classic monogram bag scrawled with Stephen Sprouse graffiti. The new limited edition Stephen Sprouse – Louis Vuitton collection will be available in Louis Vuitton stores worldwide from January 9, 2009, the opening date of the exhibition.

Fine, but if I have to see Marc Jacobs naked again, someone's gonna die.
No matter what I think of the "art" of it, I will never carry a bag with the designers name all over it until said designer pays *me* for advertising for him.
Hhrumph.
Sister: How he ever thought that would be a good thing I'll never know. ha!
LJoy: Excellent point. Thanks for visiting with us.
