Stephen Sprouse Is In The House

        

When he was 14 he interned with Bill Blass. At 18 he moved his talent into the house of Halston. Anyone involved in the "downtown" art, music, and fashion scene in the '80s was a fan of this shy visionary. With a style that's an ideal for so many artists today, his punk/rock-n-roll Day-Glo graffiti aesthetic never changed up until 2004 when he passed away at the age of 50.

A full blown tribute to this iconic figure is in neon overdrive. Stephen Spouse, a 256-page coffee-table book featuring never-before-published images and exclusive access to his archives, hits the stands today. Coinciding with its release is a limited-edition collection of clothing and accessories from Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton full of the same defaced monograms we fell in love with when the two designers first partnered in 2000-2001. And Deitch Projects has simultaneously debuted the retrospective Rock on Mars—an installation of his clothing and artwork.

Think it's just a New York thing? Think again. Two weeks ago I spied a fake LV bag at Big T Bazaar in South Oak Cliff featuring Sprouse's newly released rose motif—a discarded design idea from 2000. The real thing just hit made it in store late last week. Skip the fakes and buy the book.

"Took mom to the store today and she drove the cart into a six-foot-high display of hundreds of JELL-O boxes."—Via an e-mail from my mom via an e-mail from my uncle in Florida. My homegirl Sara T. responded to this as "I can't wait to get old."
