Louis Vuitton has officially announced their latest collaborator-Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who’s known for putting brightly colored dots on everything from pumpkin sculptures to tree trunks to herself.
Ever since they met in 2006, they have been interested in a collaboration with Kusama. Marc Jacobs admits that he and his team “readily embraced” Kusama as they brainstormed ideas for the collection, which will be unveiled on July 10th. The range will consist of dot-covered dresses, bathing suits, jewellery, knitwear, shoes, sounding trench coats, including a bonded cotton number with Kusama’s polka dots over the infamous LV monogram, and a plastic trench featuring hand painted spots. Louis Vuitton is the principal supporter of the Yayoi Kusama exhibition at Tate Modern, and second on upcoming in Whitney gallery in New York.
