Louis Vuitton surprised observers during the presentation of its 2011 Spring menswear collection in Paris. Some of the runway models were tattooed.
Marc Jacobs is a fashion designer and creative director for the French luxury label. He is also a tattoo aficianado. One of Jacobs’ close friends happens to be a tattoo artist who has inked most of his tats.
Jacobs asked Scott Campbell to create tattoos (temporarily of course) to draw on the neck of some models. The artist created stencils inspired by the luxury brand’s famous logo.
Campbell also custom designed a line of LV leather bags that will likely be released for the 2011 Spring/Summer season.
Scott Campbell opened his tattoo shop, Saved Tattoo, in NYC in 2004. Other famous names he has inked include Helena Christensen and Heath Ledger.
