In 1991, STEPHEN SPROUSE moved into Chateau Marmont (LA) for a month but had no money to pay his bill when he was checking out. Hotel owner Andre Balazs agreed to let him off if he designed some apparel for Chateau Marmont in exchange. After years 6 original sketches by Stephen Sprouse , were found in the archives stored in attic of the hotel.
Some of the Sprouse designed pieces for Chateau Marmont did go into production and few have been re-issued - they're available at the hotel and also online
Stephen Sprouse is synonymous with the Eighties, the Indiana native worked with Deborah Harry and made Day-Glo colors a must.
