Stephen Sprouse
Stephen Sprouse was a fashion designer and artist who was known for his eccentric taste in integrating bold, clashing styles and his punk-inspired day-glo graffiti prints. His career began when he started designing clothes for Debbie Harry's stage shows. Although his designs appealed to young customers, they were too expensive due to the high quality materials used. This lead to bankruptcy and production problems which forced him to hand-paint graffiti prints on his clothes instead. Although his success was inconsistent throughout his career as a fashion designer, he later became most well-known for his designs for the Louis Vuitton Paris spring 2000 collection. Inspired by his habit of scribbling phone numbers and reminder notes on his arms, he designed handbags using raw fluorescent-painted letterings to cover the Louis Vuitton monogram handbags.
