While browsing in the perfume section at Nordstrom recently, I spotted something that immediately caught my attention.  The two creative minds of designer Marc Jacobs and Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami have joined forces for Daisy Murakami, giving Jacobs’ familiar Daisy fragrance a decidedly Murakami makeover. Major squee.

Murakami is known for his colorful, smiling, multi-petaled flowers, and here his signature motif takes over the Daisy bottle in the most delightful way.

When I first started designing my own clothes, I wasn’t trying to launch a fashion empire — I was simply trying to make art I could live in. What began as a creative outlet quickly evolved into SingleTree Lane, my California-based fashion brand that transforms recycled plastic bottles into bold, expressive, and eco-conscious wearable art.
