Zendaya returns to the Riviera with Murakami’s cherries in tow for Louis Vuitton’s boldest collection yet.
Fez – Leave it to Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami to once again turn fashion into a collectible art form.
Their third collaborative chapter is here. And it’s screaming so loud.
Making a bold seasonal statement, the collection is bursting with oversized cherry motifs, playful textures, and unexpected details that blur the lines between fantasy and fashion.
Yes, we’re talking about a literal 3D cherry-shaped heel. It’s the first of its kind and already destined for icon status.
The cherry heel stars in two standout pieces. First up is “Cherie,” crafted in natural raffia and embroidered with a cherry bow and the house’s signature logo motif.
Then there’s “Lily,”, a denim twist on the same theme, stitched with cherry accents for a more casual edge. Quirky? Absolutely. Wearable? Surprisingly, yes.
But the collection doesn’t stop at shoes. Lightweight square silk scarves, also printed with delicate cherry patterns, bring a touch of summer elegance.
They’re versatile, elevated, and begging to be worn daily. Meanwhile, playful cherry bag charms add a wink of fun to even the most classic Louis Vuitton handbag.
It’s refined with a side of cheeky, and that’s what makes it pop.
As for the campaign visuals, Zendaya is back and shining brighter than ever. She appears in five cinematic images captured by Dutch photography duo Inez & Vinoodh.
Shot against a dreamy Riviera backdrop, Zendaya channels effortless glamour while showcasing the standout pieces of the drop.
Oversized cherries dangle in the background like surreal sculptures, echoing Murakami’s unmistakable aesthetic.
This third chapter of “Louis Vuitton × Murakami” doesn’t just revisit a legendary partnership; it builds on it.
The original early-2000s collaboration marked a cultural shift in how fashion embraced pop art. Now, decades later, this new launch revives that spirit with a modern twist.
It’s part fashion moment, part art history reference, and wholly collectible.
What makes the Louis Vuitton × Murakami bond so enduring is that it goes beyond trend cycles.
It transcends fashion seasons and cultural shifts, creating pieces that feel relevant today but still echo the past.
From handbags to heels, from scarves to sculpture-sized cherries, this drop captures the energy of both nostalgia and now.
The collection officially launched worldwide on May 22, 2025, and rounds out Louis Vuitton’s Resort 2025 women’s collection.
It’s an invitation to wear your art, and maybe start your own cherry-topped revolution.
