Louis Vuitton Revives Takashi Murakami Collaboration with Cherry Blossom Collection; Haider Ackermann Debuts at Tom Ford

Louis Vuitton is set to relaunch its collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami on March 14, 2025, featuring a cherry blossom-themed collection, twenty years after their initial partnership. The collection includes over 40 items, such as the iconic City Bags, adorned with pink cherry blossom motifs symbolizing renewal on Louis Vuitton's monogram canvas. Zendaya fronts the campaign, showcasing Capucines bags and cherry blossom scarves. Haider Ackermann's debut as creative director at Tom Ford was met with high anticipation. His show, inspired by American Psycho, explored themes of vanity and mornings after. The event, held in a nightclub-like setting, attracted figures like Kate Moss and Doechii. Ackermann's appointment is seen as a significant moment for originality in fashion, following Tom Ford's retirement and brand acquisition by Zegna.
