Is there an archival website where you can see past collections?

[newaroundhere]

I want to start collecting more Takashi Murakami pieces (specifically the cerises and cherry blossom ones). I’ve been looking high and low for some sort of complete list of the colors and styles that were offered, but haven’t found anything. Does anyone know of a website that will list all available pieces from a certain collection/year/etc?

Are you looking for a catalog? Or the pictures of the fashion shows?

If youre looking for the fashion shows, the Vogue Runway site is good for that, and I think LV may have all of them documented on their website somewhere.

For a catalog of each leather goods piece offered...I'm not sure if that is publicly available and where it may be. LV produces a LOT of items each season so it is a lot to document. Would be cool if it was documented though!

They used to have big books in store with all the past items, I am sure their new online system does that too, but it is not publicly available.
It is easy to find info on pieces from 5 years ago, somewhat difficult on decade old shows (I was after 2010 and 11 Men’s bags and was not trivial to find enough info on them), but the Murakami stuff was soooo long ago. Those times were not as well televised/posted/documented as the current pieces. They are so popular though and remained iconic, so people talk and post about them a lot, but a comprehensive database is nonexistent. Needs lots of work to gather everything.

vouge.com took over style.com, you can see many collections including details.

L'Official used to to do an Accessories version of the catwalks for the trade back then, other trade magazines too, so you may be able to get back copies and or buy. They are collectors items now, not just TM pieces but the print mags themselves.

If you go to the reference library section in this forum and click on limited edition/runway bags by season you can find collections by years..

No Murakami, but this is pretty good to view the past decade of collections
