History of Italian Fashion has taught me about numerous Italian fashion designers, from conception to present. I've gained extensive knowledge about the evolution of the brands, with emphasis on the original designs, as well as the moderization of the brands under the current creative directors. As a class, we also visited numerous Fashion Museums and stores throughout Florence, including Musèe Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci Gardens, and Flo Concept Store. In the middle of the semester, we were assigned to research a recent collaboration between a designer and an artist and create an Oral Presentation. I decided to research the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Jeff Koons which launched on April 28, 2017. The collaboration includes artwork from Koons' Gazing Ball Paintings, which are reinterpretations of Master art pieces including Titan, Van Gogh, Fragonard, and more. Koons incorporated these master artworks onto some of LV's most iconic bags, including the Speedy, Keepall, and Neverfull. The artists' names are featured in metal block letters on the bags and on the inside of each bag, there is a biography and portrait of the artist that the piece was inspired by. Koons also altered the LV logo to feature his initials, which was iconic because this was the first time this was allowed to be done in LV history. Each bag also has a leather rabbit tag, a key Koons trademark.
