Watch this Brazen Tagger Desecrate Louis Vuitton Logo on Ludlow Street
It’s clear that the locals aren’t too thrilled with the invasive Louis Vuitton pop-up at Ludlow and Rivington Streets. And one brazen tagger proved it.
Midday Wednesday, a youngster jumped onto the building’s garbage bin and quickly spray-painted over the company logo. The graffiti lasted for a couple hours before it was buffed away.
As previously reported, Louis Vuitton chose the 6,000 square-foot store at 132 Ludlow for its pre-Fashion Week pop-up, featuring next fall’s styles. Goods designed by Virgil Abloh ranging from monogrammed accessories and leather items to brand new LV “Skate” sneakers.
