For the second time, Louis Vuitton has invited the preeminent Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama to a new creative encounter, reawakening, evolving and expanding on the pioneering initial exchange. The launch of the collection is celebrated with a campaign starring internationally renowned supermodels.
A collection Inspired by Unprecedented Creativity
Blending the creativity of Yayoi Kusama and the savoir-faire of Louis Vuitton, the new collection reinterprets 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.
A Feat of Craftsmanship
Showcasing Louis Vuitton’s savoir-faire, an innovative serigraphy technique reproduces Kusama’s brushstrokes, giving a strikingly realistic hand-painted 3D effect. Applied by hand, one-by-one, various-sized metal half-spheres enliven a selection of pieces in the collection with a stunning silver mirror effect.
