Louis Vuitton Graffiti Covers Miami Store
The outer wall of the Louis Vuitton store on East 40th Street, North Miami was covered with graffiti by the Commission.
Despite the initial thoughts of vandalism, graffiti is a part of the aesthetic of the new market.
Louis Vuitton has commissioned graffiti writer Marquis Lewis, also known as Retna, create an original work on the fa? Ade of the new store in the Miami Design District.
The 33-year-old Los Angeles-based artist has used two gallons of paint in the colors of pink, turquoise and purple in watercolor interpretation of the iconic brand logo, creating the alphabet signing hybrid.

Retna Alphabet is a unique and complex inspired by Egyptian and Inca Hebrew Scriptures visual and ink calligraphy and hieroglyphics. It is almost always presented in his work.
This type of decoration is a first for Louis Vuitton, even if the brand together with the artists since its inception in 1854. The brand's presence in the world of art has been estimated to Miami last year too. Louis Vuitton Art Talk presented Brazilian artist Vik Muniz and Spectaculu, the non-profit organization in Brazil that teaches at-risk youth in the arts, shop Aventura.
Retna told the Miami Herald, "Using outside their store as a canvas for street art is exceptional and very inspiring for me as an artist."
The artist has also designed a scarf to be sold in Louis Vuitton stores
