Skam for Louis Vuitton Toronto | Hypebeast

Props to Skam for keeping it classic and clean. His can control is crazy…that old school readable style just won’t die! It reminds me of Zeph…these guys have been able to parlay their graffiti skills(techniques) into getting paid.(not just fame) All the other “elements” have been doing it for years….everything has moved from subculture to pop culture. I remember years ago a graf writer at my art school said…’Graffiti is gonna be the new pop art”….the door has been kicked down.

Yall are killing me!!! since Marc Jacobs came to LV in ’97-’98, he has continuously pushed the envelope for a brand known as being “traditional.” It’s the biggest and most well-respected house in the world, and will be because of its innovative concepts. But haters keep hatin! It’s the way of the world…

Come on LV style has been puttin it down since the days of Big daddy Kane they are now part of rap culture, get it stright rap not hipop suckazzzzzzz…..

I liked the reyes piece better, this is dope tho.

I prefer Anchor Blue Graffiti Shirts son. Word.

lol. corporate goes hood. a great step for the awareness of the hip hop subcultures and a thumbs up from “the man”. personally it was bound to happen. hip hop and its elements were bound to become a trend. i mean lv isnt the first to put on. Chanel brought in vinyl toys to advertise to our culture. I’m sure those of you who live in NY remember seeing the Cubrix Chanel bear. Or maybe im just into toys like that? My point is that hip hop defined a big part of our generation the 80-90′s babies and now that we are getting older we are the ones making the money. Hip Hop is soooo cool. lol. its a little nauseating that something that ive grown up with and felt so connect to is becoming a trendy thing. i cant hate tho cause everyone is entitled to their hustle. and at the root of it all if there as even a 1% chance that someone is putting it on cause they reallty appreciate the culture than i say its worth it.

This LV love of hip hop is a tribute to old school days when cats like eric b and rakim, and doug e fresh rocked the shit out LV and gucci. Just cuz kanye is wearing it now means shit. Can’t deny old schoolers rocked that shit before he was out of grade school. Plus if you’re gonna fake the funk who better to do it with than SKAM!!!!

LV should stay in there own business and not try to earn some dough through a subculture who hasn’t got anything to do with it…

@Fresh

“other streetbrands” you make it sound that LV is a streetbrand wtf :’)

S-S-S-S-SKAMMMMMMM

how could you ever call Louis Vuitton Ecko? The greatest shoe and luggage maker in the world…clothing too…they’re going with all the graffiti cuz of stephen sprouse…hate hearing dumb comments like that(one more thing…kanye’s shoes were nice…if anything, they were basic)

i dont get it

That’s the truth.

Since other streetwear brands jocking all of LV designs they doing it back! Vice Versa

everyone trying to buy into this subculture shit..and all you idiots feedin it

Hey,..dont knock the hustle..Even though Kanye and sk8board P didnt make the tighet things for LV they worked their way (not to mention OUR culture) into fashions’ “elite” houses and made shit happen.. how can you hate on that?? Skam??…KEEP SKAMMIN”!!!!!!!

I don’t get it. This is like your Dad listening to hip-hop

Yea honestly shouts out to kanye for some ill tracks, but Louis V?
Just because you wear alot of something does not make you a specialist nor give you the qualifications to just take over that field.

cleanest lines. love you skam!

Big up Toronto graffer SKAM! Love it!

SKAM IT UP!

LV tryin to be Ecko up in this peice. Shit is craze. No wonder Kanye was wearing New Balance during NY fashion week.

How did LV go down bc of Kanye? That was one stupid mens sneaker. Marc still has the clothes on point. Fuck an LV bag or shoe- but the clothes are amazing.

Louis Vuitton went downhill after that kanye west shit

goregous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Off topic but what’s with LV’s recent interest in graffiti?
