Samus LV
Explore the inspiration and process behind this piece.
Samus Aran is one of gaming's most enduring figures — the bounty hunter in the iconic Power Suit whose 1986 debut in Metroid helped define the action-adventure genre, and whose reveal as a woman at the game's conclusion became one of gaming history's most celebrated moments. Samus LV reinterprets that legendary armour through authentic vintage Louis Vuitton materials and reclaimed components, transforming the Power Suit's distinctive rounded visor and sculptural form into a statement of craft, sustainability, and high fashion.
