In line with Louis Vuitton’s past artistic collaborations, the encounter between the Maison and Yayoi Kusama is grounded in sincerity, in iconoclasm, and above all, in a mutual appreciation of craft and excellence over the commonplace. At Louis Vuitton, when it comes to the magic of making objects, anything is possible.

Louis Vuitton Pack and Kusama creative exchange starts where the 2012 conversation left off, with a gift. A gift that encompasses their two worlds most completely.

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 Оригінальний пояс louis vuitton 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, across accessories, and across fragrances, from a colourful iteration of the dots true to the original artwork to a gradation of black, silver, grey and white specifically for men.

There is a playful meeting of Kusama’s signature brush-stroked dots with Louis Vuitton’s Monogram that runs throughout this collection. From hard-sided luggage and a plethora of soft Monogram canvas bag Louis Vuitton Armreif Leo Fuchsia M65965 derby Collection to men’s technical nylon ready-to-wear, in the shape of a dotted Monogram down jacket and cargo pants.

Accessories multiply, from reversible bucket hats, silk scarves and Edge chain jewellery in the women’s world to baseball caps, belts and eyewear in the men’s. 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.
