    Sammanfattning : In my thesis I present the work of the Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and the British street artist Beejoir, both of whom have done work involving the trademark monogram pattern of Louis Vuitton. Through my analysis of central parts of Murakami's body of work, I show how his cooperation with Louis Vuitton constitutes an ideal symbiosis where the carefree luxury of the Vuitton brand is complemented by - and becomes embedded in - the super flat and colourful world of Murakami's art, removing it from the troubles of everyday life while associating the company name and its products with both fashionable pop culture and contemporary high-brow art.
