Fashion has the power to bestow a unique identity upon the wearer. With the right accessories, one can achieve an irresistible allure, and that’s precisely what makes LV Art Silk Squares exceptional. These squares, with their unique designs by five remarkable artists, have the ability to make you stand out in any crowd. The creative visions of these artists have transformed a simple white silk canvas into an extraordinary carré (French for “silk square”).
The contributors include the German pixel-art collective eBoy, the Franco-Japanese-Spanish design duo Icinori, Italian artist and illustrator Lorenzo Mattotti, French graphic novelist and illustrator Nicolas de Crécy, and Swiss artist Thomas Ott—all of whom have previously lent their talents to Louis Vuitton’s Travel Book series.
These artists have reinterpreted the iconic four-petal bloom of the LV monogram in ways only true artists can, delivering stunning examples of creativity that offer fresh perspectives on the Maison’s celebrated codes and rich heritage.
While the artists deserve full credit for their striking visuals, Louis Vuitton also merits praise for bringing these silk squares to life, making the artists’ talents tangible. Crafted in Como, Italy—a renowned center of silk-working expertise—the artisans engage in a continuous dialogue with the artists, showcasing their mastery of both traditional and cutting-edge techniques.
Each carré is a masterpiece, faithfully recreating the original artwork in two color variations through a painstaking process that involves multiple layers of colors being printed onto the finest white silk. After being washed and dried, the squares are finished with a technique called roulottage, where the edges are meticulously sewn.
eBoy’s contribution is a vibrant explosion of colors and pixels, making the LV accessory a lively addition to any ensemble. The pixelated design, set against the backdrop of the LV monogram, creates a mesmerizing, maze-like pattern. In contrast, Icinori’s “Malles Monde” offers a subtler design that weaves a narrative between the fine cloth’s threads and the charming world of LV.
Lorenzo Mattotti’s “Iris Spring” carré elevates the delicate flower to a fashion icon, with the words “Louis Vuitton” gracing the corner as a stamp of approval.
Nicolas de Crécy’s “Parfums de Mediterranee” is reminiscent of an intricate painting, where blooms of the LV monogram fit perfectly within an enchanting, bygone setting.
Finally, Thomas Ott’s “Urban Flowers” takes a bold departure from the collection’s vibrant hues, presenting a striking black-and-white design that captivates with its simplicity and originality. In true LV style, the Art Silk Squares accessories collection is a vision unmatched, making the heart pause before exploring the artistry within. The Louis Vuitton art silk squares are available at select stores for 520 Euros ($580)
