“The evening was in tribute to artist/fashion designer Stephen Sprouse (September 12, 1953 – March 4, 2004), who was credited with pioneering the 1980s mix of uptown sophistication in clothing with a downtown punk and pop sensibility. In recent times, the graffiti logo bags he designed in collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton in 2001 made the fashion world take notice of his work once again. This VIP, invite only evening was unique space for him to create in (no outlines were used, strictly freehand) and all of this was done in-store, on the fly and in front of the crowd of industry insiders, fashion editors, buyers, models, media, tastemakers, fashionista’s and impresario’s” Stirling
