Louis Vuitton X Jeff Koons: My thoughts

Louis Vuitton X Jeff Koons: My thoughts I was left speechless when I woke up last month to see the latest Collaboration to hit the fashion world, that of Louis Vuitton and Jeff Koons. My immediate reaction was that of utter horror, because I think it looks well...ugly and unnecessarily fussy, however my opinion was somewhat shifted when the products began circulating on social media, because i could see the craftsman ship, but I'm still not a fan.
