Back in the 80′s: Sephen Sprouse

Eye-popping, day-glo fashion. Stephen Sprouse was a fashion designer and artist credited with pioneering the 1980s mix of “uptown sophistication in clothing with a downtown punk and pop sensibility”. He was an assistant to Halston, spent time at Andy Warhol’s Factory, designed stage outfits for Debbie Harry and created his own lines. For Fall 2006, Marc Jacobs utilized Sprouse’s 1987 graffiti leopard images for handbags, shoes, and scarves for Louis Vuitton, which sold-out instantly. A book on the career of Stephen Sprouse,

The Stephen Sprouse Book, was released by Rizzoli on January 13, 2009.
