 <title>Monogramouflage And The Brooklyn Ball</title>
 <link>http://www.coutorture.com/1114566</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot; style=&quot;float: left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/12/129120/11_2008/2637.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;image preview&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;250&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The rumors surrounding the  Brooklyn Ball on April 3rd are reaching a fever pitch. The Ball will be held at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Brooklyn Museum&lt;/a&gt; to celebrate a pop-up shop with the Louis Vuitton &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.portfolio.com/views/blogs/fashion-inc/2008/03/12/louis-vuitton-bets-big-on-the-murakami-bags&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Monogramouflage collection&lt;/a&gt;. And while we steer away from celebrities there are a few fashion names attending i.e Kayne and Jay-Z. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.coutorture.com/1089926&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Louis Vuitton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.coutorture.com/1029600&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Marc Jacobs&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takashi_Murakami&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Takashi Murakami&lt;/a&gt; to be exact. Pop culture at its finest even if it makes us feel slimy. The breakdown: Vuitton is handling the monograms, Jacobs (for Vuitton) and Murakami, the canvas paintings (those will be squashed together), Kanye West will hold down the flare, and hipsters will be standing in the bathroom line. The event is also being thrown to kick off the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/murakami/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Murakami retrospective&lt;/a&gt;, open to the public some days later.&lt;br /&gt;
