Downtown Science

On Friday, Rock on Mars, a retrospective exhibition of the work of Stephen Sprouse, opened at Deitch Project's Wooster Street gallery in NYC (January 9 - February 28, 2009). Oh, I wish I could be there. (View some of the installation here.) Stephen Sprouse, who passed away in 2004, epitomized 1980s downtown New York with his street inspired fashion designs that fused punk, graffiti, hip-hop, and art. This exhibit features polaroids, illustrations, paintings, video works, furniture designs, and 50 of his most influential fashion looks. Marc Jacobs, who collaborated with Sprouse in 2001 for Louis Vuitton, has created a new limited edition Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse collection available now. I die.

Ah, so that's the window display in the Louis Vuitton. Pretty fresh stuff. No doubt yet another artist handpicked by Mr. Marc Jacobs.
