Louis Vuitton dresses Japanese popstar Hatsune Miku

Marc Jacobs has provided Louis Vuitton outfits for J-pop sensation Hatsune Miku, but there's a twist: she doesn't exist.

Hatsuné Miku regularly sells out stadiums in Japan, despite the fact that she doesn't exist. The vocaloid popstar's hits were in fact created via a 'singing synthesizer application with a humanoid persona'.

Now Marc Jacobs is dressing Hatsune Miku in Louis Vuitton for a new tour which sees the star play 'live' around the world with the use of holgrams and other visual effects.

The video teaser for the 'vocaloid opera,' titled "The End," features the Louis Vuitton Spring /Summer 2013 outfits, but we're yet to see visuals of the live tour which will hit Tokyo in May and arrive in Paris in November.

Two performances (November 13 & 15) are scheduled in the French capital, at the famous Theatre du Châtelet. According to organizers, the show tests the "traditional tragic structure of an opera asking 'What is death?' and 'What is an end?' and puts Hatsune Miku as the mediator to reread it in a modern way."

Earlier this year Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy put together looks for Rihanna's 'Diamonds' tour, and Pucci's Peter Dundas recently designed costumes for Rita Ora. Still, this collaboration between a high-end luxury label and an entirely computer-designed popstar puts a new angle on the phenomenon.
