Around 20 years after the French fashion house first collaborated with the Japanese artist in 2003, then under the creative direction of Marc Jacobs, the collaboration is now being revived.

Back then we saw the playful models on supermodels like Naomi Campbell, singers like Jessica Simpson or of course the Hilton sisters.

The latter was, by the way, a minor sensation in the fashion world at the time: it was the first time ever that the traditional French fashion house had changed its characteristic monogram canvas.
