Stephen Sprouse: Rock on Mars


This is the scene outside the Louis Vuitton store today in Soho. Tonight it will be flooded with A-listers for the LV x Sprouse collection release party. The after-party at Deitch Projects will celebrate the opening of Rock on Mars, a Sprouse retrospective.

"Stephen Sprouse (1953-2004) was one of the most influential fashion designers of his time and a key figure in the dynamic mix of punk rock, wild style graffiti, and street influenced fashion that characterized the downtown New York community in the early 1980s. He was one of the first to build on the influence of Andy Warhol to create a fusion of art, music and fashion. He continued on a course that disavowed any division among these fields throughout his career."



The exhibition will be open to the public Jan 9 - Feb 28, 18 Wooster St, NY, NY.
