Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Meet with Pop Artist Takashi Murakami: Is a Yeezy Collab Happening?

The contemporary Japanese artist Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West met up with during their visit to Tokyo this week is the mastermind behind one of the most iconic It bags of the early ’00s.

Takashi Murakami partnered with Louis Vuitton for over a decade to create limited edition collections featuring colorful designs that were a far departure from the label’s typical brown monogrammed logo bags. Since the collaboration began in 2003 with the inaugural Murakami Multicolore Monogram collection, which was beloved by Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton and more stars at the time, his work became one of the most in-demand accessories on the market.

Now, after ending his 13-year relationship with the brand in 2015 after Louis Vuitton brought in former Balenciaga creative director Nicolas Ghesquière as its new creative lead, Murakami’s designs (from the Multicolore to the Monogramouflage to the Character Bag) have become a vintage handbag collector’s dream.

Some now-extinct bags, now regaining popularity from stars like Kardashian West and Kylie Jenner flaunting their own, resell for upwards of $12,500 on sites like TheRealReal and What Goes Around Comes Around.

Although we shouldn’t expect any new collaborations between Louis Vuitton and Murakami anytime soon, his legacy on the brand is likely to live on for ages. And judging from the artist’s recent meeting with The Wests, a Yeezy collaboration might be in the works.
