Yesterday we posted about the opening night of Murakami’s exhibit at Brooklyn Musuem, today we’re following up with some action shots of what went down. Kanye West rocked the stage as usual, even Marc Jacobs couldn’t resist taking pictures of the champion rapper. Louis Vuitton took the war against counterfeiters one step further by taking over their turf and setting up street vendors that sell authentic LV bags. Murakami’s new Monogramouflage, an overlay of LV signature monogram with camouflage print, were on sale for $6,000 dollars a piece. Again, be sure to check out the exhibit if you’re around the area, Murakami’s Superflat style will open your eyes to what contemporary art is all about.
