Stephen Sprouse is dead, that is a given but since january this year there has been quite the revival of is work in various forms. First, Marc Jacobs brought back to live the collection they designed together for Louis Vuitton in form of a tribute collection with his old prints ranging from sunglasses and speedos to the traditional keepall bags. Le Book New York was also redesigned with his work and a couple of weeks ago we saw the release of The Stephen Sprouse book which is available at selected Louis Vuitton stores.
Sprouse who died in March 2004 was known for his vibrant graffiti prints and cyber punk collections, his label announced bankruptcy more than once and he collaborated with artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol. Stephen Sprouse designed for Debbie Harry aka Blondie, Duran Duran and Bily Idol.
He died of Heart Failure and Lung Cancer, may he rest in peace.
