Fashion News: Louis Vuitton to Collaborate with Yayoi Kusama

Louis Vuitton and Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama are teaming up to create a new collection. The collection will focus around the artist’s bold signature surreal spots, which will appear on many garments and accessories such as skirts, tops, leggings and bags. The collection will first launch on July 10 and a second installment will be available in October.

“Her energy is just endless,” Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs said of the Japanese artist. “Through the painstaking sort of obsession in each of her canvasses and installations that she’s created, you see this world that never ends. I guess that’s what I admire and that’s what I respond to in terms of feeling for her and for her work.”

“Louis Vuitton has outlets and fans all around the world and I hope, like with other collaborations, and expect, like other collaborations, that this will bring the work of Kusama to a new audience and that’s the audience of Louis Vuitton,” added the designer.

This collaboration sounds promising and I cannot wait to see the end result. I’m sure it will be an amazing collection.
