LOUIS VUITTON ZOO Animals made with LV leather
I had seen previously these little animals from the press event in Paris where Please! magazine editor showed them oh her twitter. The UK based artist Billie Achilleos is the artist behind these wonderful design pieces. Billie is a Wimbledon College for Art graduate and having graduated in 2007 she is very young and apparently very talented to have been chosen from such a famous brand and in such a cool project. An entire zoo made of LV leather and small accessories including armadillos and grasshoppers. These little animals were displayed first at the press events showing the Louis Vuitton Fall Winter 2011-2012 collection and now are to be found in the windw displays in New York and Paris.
"These new critters were designed for the launch of Louis Vuitton’s Mon Monogram service for small leather goods. Each animal highlights an element in the design of the products. The Armadillo was to highlight the soft yet durable quality of the leather. The Chameleon displays the variety of colour. The Grasshopper is constructed from products with zips and poppers that make satisfying noises like that of the musically gifted insect. And finally my favorite, the Beaver, who’s functionality chops wood, builds dams…and provides cleaver ways of organising ones life in men’s bags and wallets." - Billie Achilleos
