Twenty years ago, the legendary collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami changed the fashion world, turning accessories into true works of art. And now, in 2025, this story reaches its grand finale with the third and final chapter of the joint collection. The iconic smiling cherry motif returns not as nostalgia but as a bold reimagining of the visual code.

The face of the new collection is the incredible Zendaya, who has repeatedly proven her status as a style icon. The Resort 2025 campaign, shot by the duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, unfolds against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. Zendaya gracefully poses among Murakami's giant smiling cherries, like a living art installation. This visual sequence symbolizes the connection between fashion and contemporary art, emphasizing the uniqueness of the collaboration.

The collection includes more than 70 pieces: bags, shoes, accessories, luggage. It masterfully balances the line between archival finds and new ideas. Iconic models like Speedy, Alma, and Side Trunk feature a monochrome Monogram print and 3D decor, while new items include cherry-heeled mules, platform sandals, and even ventilated sneakers with embroidery.

Particular attention deserves the denim capsule with accessories like the Pochette and Keepall 45. This denim is not just a nod to the past but a new take on vintage elements. This play with tradition reflects the trend of contemporary fashion: nostalgia as a foundation for a fresh, bold interpretation.

The final chapter of the Louis Vuitton x Murakami collaboration is not just the end of a cycle but an open space for reflection. It serves as a reminder that fashion is not just about clothing but also a cultural dialogue capable of transcending time and seasons.

Don’t miss the release on May 22, 2025 — a moment where the past and future merge into one vivid artistic expression.
