Painted dots

The motif of PAINTED DOTS is where this project has its roots and here, they are a direct translation of Kusama’s hand through a complex serigraphy technique and embossed printing on leather or iconic coated canvas. Kusama’s motifs have travelled with her for most of her life; she began painting her dots when still a child of ten. Here, a proliferation appears across ready-to-wear, across leather goods, Louis Vuitton x Air Force 1 Collection Releasing July 19th Pre-owned Louis Vuitton LV Soft Bag Charm, silver, grey and white specifically for men.

The colourful and greyscale painted dots also travel to the fragrance realm of the Maison, enveloping both the packaging, bottles and Travel Cases of Attrape-Rêves and L’Immensité.

Infinity dots

The painted dot morphs into Kusama’s perhaps more familiar INFINITY DOTS; the artist’s most recognisable motif and as a collection, one that encompasses most pieces in the project across all categories for both women and men, appearing in both Drop 1 and Drop 2. As Kusama’s fame grew in America in the 1960s, she was dubbed the ‘Princess of Polka Dots.’ Although in contrast, Kusama has referred to herself as an ‘obsessional artist.’ It is the infinity dot that is the most obsessional of her motifs signifying a state of ‘self-obliteration’ for the artist. ‘My desire was to predict and measure the infinity of the unbounded universe, from my own position in it, with dots,’ says Kusama in her autobiography Infinity Net.

Proliferating in signature Kusama palettes of black & white, red & white, yellow & black, plus black & red for men, the infinity dots meld with a multiplicity of Maison icons, particularly in terms of Pre-Loved Louis Vuitton Vernis Alma BB Monogram on leather goods such as the embossed Empreinte Neverfull, but also finds form in Epi bags such as the Twist or in the Taurillon Capucines.
