Grace Coddington is known for three things, her legendary Vogue editorials, her trademark flaring red hair, and her love of cats. Louis Vuitton is known for their luxurious leather goods, and in recent years they have become known for collaborating with celebrated artists including Jeff Koons, Stephen Sprouse, and Yayoi Kusama. The brand’s creative director, Nicolas Ghesquiere, a longtime friend of Coddington, decided that after all the numerous artist collaborations, she would be the perfect person to collaborate with next.
Inspired by her well known love of cats, the collection features leather goods, accessories, shoes and ready-to-wear. The illustrations that decorate this collection depict her dear Persians, Pumpkin and Blanket, as well as Nicolas Ghesquiere’s dog, Léon. The illustrations were drawn by Coddington, and the adorable little critters leap across orange monograms inspired by her flame colored hair representing a new chapter in Louis Vuitton’s story: The Catogram.
Throughout the Catogram collection, creative charm meets Louis Vuitton’s high-end craftsmanship. Handbags are lined with signed, mouse-printed canvas, every luggage tag is edge-dyed, and the Cats on Leather collection features expertly printed and embossed colorful menagerie across natural leather. The collection also wouldn’t be complete without one of Grace’s signature items: pajamas.
The collection will be available in stores beginning November 2.
