At this year’s Art Basel Paris, Takashi Murakami and Louis Vuitton are unveiling a new collaboration called “Artycapucines” which also marks twenty years since Murakami’s first LV collab The experience will be happening inside the Grand Palais Éphémère where Murakami did what he does best: he turned the space into a dreamlike installation anchored by a monumental 24-foot octopus sculpture, with its tentacles stretching across the room, surrounded by glowing “Plush Balls” and his signature “Superflat” eyes. eleven reimagined Capucines bags shimmer like artifacts (from a rhinestone-covered Panda clutch to mushroom and tentacle motifs that genuinely blur the line between accessory and artwork) around it The exhibition runs through October 26 in Paris. If you’re there, I truly recommend experiencing it. I’d go myself if I could What I love about this collab is that it moved fashion beyond consumption and toward experience. They made a handbag not just a product, but part of an artwork, part of a story. Are we starting to go back to fashion’s roots?? Oh and beyond everything this event also represents another weekly reminder for me that I need to spend more time in Paris asap otherwise I’m missing everything that truly excites me🌹 https://hypebeast.com/2025/10/takashi-murakami-louis-vuitton-artycapucines-art-basel-paris
