Louis Vuitton has officially announced their quirky collab with Japanese artist extraordinaire Yayoi Kusama. The woman whose all passionate about crazy brightly colored dots, which she puts on everything imaginable.
The LV range will inlcude dot-covered items like silk pajamas, dresses, trench coats, jewelry, bags, and shoes, all in vibrant primary colors.
As Marc Jacobs has a known affinity for artists, he looks to those willing to artistically interpret the Louis Vuitton brand. Overhype it for the hipster and fashionistas probably.
The products will be sold in Vuitton's 461 stores starting on July 11, with a second wave of goods arriving in October. Vuitton president Yves Carcelle says that Kusama, who is 82 years old, has been “very involved personally in every detail of the product.” Kusama is an icon in the abstract expressionist movement. In the 60s, she was all about pop art and painting polka dots on live nudes. Since 1977, she has been voluntarily residing in a mental facility where she has continued to thrive in various visual art and media.
