Louis Vuitton collaborates with polka dot artist
French fashion house Louis Vuitton has collaborated with Yayoi Kusama on a series of products including leathergoods, ready-to-wear, accessories, shoes, watches and jewellery.
Artistic director Marc Jacobs worked with the Japanese artist on the range. Special window installations based on Ms Kusama’s unique aesthetic are also scheduled. The artist is best known for her interest in polka dots, which she has famously applied to tree trunks, entire rooms and even people.
The collaboration ties in with a major retrospective of Ms Kusama’s work which will be in on display in London, Rome, Madrid and Paris.
