Social media is such a time suck for me. I actually set limits on my Instagram and TikTok accounts so that I am reminded when I have hit 30 minutes for the day and then need to manually accept allowing more time for myself. It doesn’t neccessairly stop me, but it gives me pause. I can tell you that majority of my scrolling is mindless, as it is for so many of us, but I have also discovered some amazingness thanks to social media.
I have met friends that have turned to real life friends, discovered new brands, found hotels to stay at, have way too many stunning homes suggested to me that I share for when I win the lotto, and I’ve found artists whose work I adore. All of that with a lot of really silly memes interspersed.
One artist I found thanks to social media is Werner Bronkhorst, who shares his work that combines abstract sculptural, multi-dimensional backgrounds with hyper-realistic paintings of miniature people. I am enamored by his work, in love with his work, and can not afford his work. But me, with millions of others, follow along with his distinctive style.
And my whole, long, outdrawn intro is to share that when I saw the latest release from Louis Vuitton, it immediately made me think of Werner Bronkhorst.
Sports Meet SLGs
This small leather goods collection uses bright, fun colors with reinterpreted motifs as part of the men’s Louis Vuitton’s new SLG collection. The motifs are all activity-focused, from tennis to skiing to skateboarding to baseketball and more. Each part of the collection features an item with colored Monogram canvas that is decorated with a sports scene viewed from above. There are card cases and different variations of wallets.
For those of you who love any of these sports or have someone in your life who does, this may be the best collection that melds fun, function, and sports!
I recall the artist liking the Instagram reel by @timedessaint where it was suggested this was indeed a copy, not an inspiration of his work, so as pretty as it is, I think LV should not be celebrated for this collection…
I’m also a follower and fan of Werner Bronkhorst. When I saw this LV collection, I immediately thought how cool LV was to collab with small artists like him. However (from review of various reels/comments on socials) it more looks like LV copied Werner.
It is so clearly a rip off of WB’s creative work, LV didn’t even change it enough to consider it an “inspiration”. Despite being beautiful, disappointed in LV here. There is so much consumer confusion, I hope WB gets compensated for his art
As you know it’s not first time 😂 LV have doe so many times
The blue basketball wallet is my favorite because I love the sport, and blue is my color!
very interesting !
A copy
I love how Louis Vuitton has infused so much fun and personality into this small leather goods collection! The bright colors and sports-inspired motifs really make the pieces stand out while still being functional for everyday use. The bird’s-eye view of activities like basketball and skiing adds a unique artistic touch that feels fresh and modern. As a fan of basketball, the blue basketball wallet instantly caught my eye toosuch a perfect blend of style and sport
Oh the white one is pretty, but worry with color transfer. but still love it.
