Look At The Super Fun Collaboration Of Yayoi Kusama And Louis Vuitton

Yayoi Kusama has returned to Louis Vuitton and we can’t help but love it!

It is to be said that the union between one of the world’s most renowned fashion houses and the 21st century’s most colorful avant-garde artist would result in a collection that transcends fashion and delves into the realm of infinity.


After over a decade, the enchantingly talented Yayoi Kusama is rejoining Louis Vuitton for another collaboration. This successful female artist is making her return by adding touches of her distinct and personal magic on a handful of Louis Vuitton pieces. Their upcoming collection is not only a continuation of their well-loved partnership in 2012, but also serves as the rebirth of their combined creative identity.

Here we see how Yayoi Kusama’s personal identity is perfectly translated through her art. This photo is a perfect representation of the seamless match between her and the Maison.
While Yayoi Kusama is considered to be a predecessor to Pop and Minimal art, she still remains to be an artist who cannot be classified into any standard category. She is also the mother of self-obliteration, a metaphor of uniting with the universe by putting an end to unique identity. It is through her vivid interpretation of this concept with the use of an unending repetition of single motifs that she is able to mesh well with Louis Vuitton’s vision of practical and wearable works of art.

Louis Vuitton’s ability to foresee the beauty that would come out of this collaboration is simply remarkable. The playfulness of the elements complement the structure and hardness of the leather bags.

The Princess of Polka Dots has once again created a harmonic blend between her colorful shapes and Louis Vuitton’s highly adored monogram. It was at the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2023 show last May 2022 in San Diego where we were able to get a first glance of what we could expect from their rekindled partnership. 


Each piece from their initial drop is an explosion of artfulness coupled with the elegance of delicate craftmanship. On the various accessories, we see painted dots, metal dots, infinity dots, and psychedelic flowers, which have been consistent elements in the multitude of Yayoi Kusama’s works.

Yayoi Kusama’s iconic painted dot has been by her side since she was only 10 years old. From Matsumoto to Tokyo to New York, this dot has remained alongside her throughout the many stages in her life.

Although we have only gotten a small taste of what’s to come, in January 2023 we’ll be able to fully immerse ourselves in this artful collaboration as it unfolds in all of the Maison’s categories.
