Louis Vuitton has teamed up with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama to create a bold and colourful capsule collection.
Yayoi Kusama is known for her hypnotic and colourful art which is applied to a colourful selection of ready-to-wear and accessories for Louis Vuitton featuring a colourful polka dot print.
Ten years since the artist created her first collection for the House she returned to open In 2012 Yayoi Kusama took one of the most timeless and magical of the Maison’s emblematic objects and made it her own – she hand-painted a Louis Vuitton trunk with her characteristic polka dots, dots that, for Kusama, represent infinity.
This year the polka dots return across ready-to-wear and accessories with a colourful offering of pieces for men and women.
An exact replica of the dots from 2012 has been created down to each brush stroke. Each piece is handcrafted with the same theory of infinity in mind. Combining the worlds of fashion and art these bold pieces are made to last for generations.
Encompassing both the universes of women and men through ready-to-wear, bags, shoes, accessories, luggage and trunks and fragrances, these wide-ranging and intricate collections appear in two parts, with distinct thematic directions reflecting Yayoi Kusama’s motifs and motivations.
The first pieces will launch on 1st January 2023 in China and Japan, followed by the rest of the world on 6th January. Th second drop will be available in Louis Vuitton stores starting 31st March 2023.
