New images have emerged online showing actress Zendaya as the face of Louis Vuitton's collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The photos, which first appeared on Reddit and TikTok, reveal a collection that revisits the fashion house's past partnership with Murakami.
The campaign sets Zendaya against digitally rendered landscapes filled with Murakami's flower designs. She appears in relaxed denim paired with a white crop top, accessorized with pieces from the upcoming collection. These include a white monogrammed Keepall bag and silk bandeau featuring Murakami's artwork.
The collection marks a return to Louis Vuitton's mid-2000s collaboration with Murakami, which helped define luxury streetwear. Their original partnership produced the Multicolore monogram line and cherry blossom prints that became collector's items.
Louis Vuitton has not announced an official release date for the campaign or collection. The images' appearance follows Zendaya's appointment as a house ambassador in 2023, when she joined during the tenure of women's creative director Nicolas Ghesquière.
The re-edition arrives as fashion houses increasingly revisit successful collaborations from their archives. This strategy aligns with current consumer interest in vintage luxury pieces, particularly those from the early 2000s.
