Louis Vuitton Pays Homage to Yayoi Kusama

Written by Kathryn Andes

Luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton has teamed up with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Louis Vuitton has transformed many of its storefronts adding colorful polka dot motifs, paying homage to Kusama’s classic design. She is known for her playful designs and has been called “the princess of polka dots.” The Champs-Élysées flagship store in Paris, France was decorated with a large statue of the iconic artist peering over the roof, in addition to the colorful polka dots. This year’s collaboration with Yayoi Kusama marks the fashion house’s second collaboration with the now 93-year-old artist following their first joint venture in 2012. However, this is the first artist collaboration with Louis Vuitton that reaches every product category, from womenswear to accessories, fragrance, menswear, bags, shoes, and sunglasses. 

The french fashion house has made more than one tribute to Kusama over the years. The dynamic duo opened up several pop-up stores throughout the country to promote their collaboration in major cities including New York City , Paris and Kusama’s hometown of Harajuku. In Tokyo, the Louis Vuitton store transformed their window displays in the style of Kusama's pumpkin art, which included a pattern of black polka dots on a warm yellow background covering the walls and floors. On the Fifth Avenue location in New York, you can find a shockingly lifelike animatronic of Kusama painting inside the store front windows.
