Louis Vuitton has today unveiled its latest venture into the art world - a new line of bags and accessories that they have created with Jeff Koons, marking the first stage of its collaboration with the artist.

The Masters collection features imagery from Koons's Gazing Ball series of paintings - large-scale hand-painted reproductions of masterpieces - on a range of the fashion house's most popular products. Recreations of the most famous works by some of the Old Masters - Da Vinci, Titian, Rubens, Fragonard and Van Gogh - have been transposed onto the canvas of bags such as the Speedy, the Keepall and the Neverfull with the names of the artists emblazoned across them.
