Louis Vuitton launches a new collaboration with Artist Yayoi Kasuma. LV has created a special pop-up store in NYC’s Meatpacking District to celebrate. The store façade and interior have been transformed into a canvas, covered in Kusama’s iconic colored dots, offering shoppers an immersive experience as they discover the collection.

 

 

 

 

The collection offers the Maison’s métiers of ready-to-wear, leather goods, accessories, shoes, fragrances & luggage. Standout pieces are the polka dot purses, which are destined to become this season’s it-bag for all the fashion aficionados.

 

 

 

 

Blending the creativity of Yayoi Kusama and the savoir-faire of Louis Vuitton, the new collection reinterprets the Maison’s iconic pieces, infused with the artist’s signature motifs. Celebrating art, audacity, and craftsmanship, Kusama’s painted dots, metal dots, infinity dots, and psychedelic flowers enliven the universe of Louis Vuitton. “In line with Louis Vuitton’s past artistic collaborations, the encounter between the Maison and Kusama is grounded in sincerity, in iconoclasm, and above all, in a mutual appreciation of craft and excellence over the commonplace,” read the official press release.
This is the second time LV and Kasumi have collaborated, the first was back in 2012 under the helm of Marc Jacobs.
