This feature appears in V140 now available for purchase

In 2012, celebrated artist Yayoi Kusama debuted an electric collection with Louis Vuitton that left the world begging for more. Now, the dream duo is reuniting for another groundbreaking collaboration–11 years in the making. Louis Vuitton ✕ Yayoi Kusama brings the Japanese artist’s iconic imagery to ready-to-wear, bags, shoes, and even fragrances. Kusama’s signature painted dots are reproduced on classics like the LV Monogram canvas bag through a serigraphy technique that maintains the nuance of her original brushstrokes.

 

Metal dots, hand-placed on mini dresses, trunks, and loafers, convey the wonder of her limitless Infinity Mirror Rooms. Other offerings feature Kusama’s instantly recognizable infinity dots and psychedelic flower motifs. The collection’s bold designs inspire a new perspective on the visionary artist’s oeuvre, elevated by the luxury house’s peerless craftsmanship. Louis Vuitton ✕ Yayoi Kusama prove an unstoppable team, inspiring each other to push their artistry further—because together, the possibilities are infinite.

 

Louis Vuitton ✕ Yayoi Kusama (Drop 1) is available on January 6, 2023, at Louis Vuitton stores.
