To mark the 160th anniversary of the house’s founding, Louis Vuitton's executive vice president Delphine Arnault, daughter of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, and artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière have initiated a project which they call 'Celebrating Monogram' and have enlisted 6 iconoclasts to re-imagine and re-interpret the iconic LV monogram for a new limited-edition series of bags.

This time around however, Delphine Arnault and Ghesquière have broadened the scope of the initiative to tap on visionaries from art, architecture, and industrial design, as well as fashion, and these include designed by Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Louboutin, Marc Newson, Frank Gehry, Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons and performance artist Cindy Sherman.
