Louis Vuitton Enters the Colourful Universe of Yayoi Kusama

Bright dots, fantastical pumpkins, and mirrored “bubbles” are some of the whimsical themes explored in this second Yayoi Kusama Louis Vuitton collaboration. Kusama is a Japanese artist renowned for her colourful and dynamic art.

The brand has a long-standing tradition of collaborating with visionary artists. Louis Vuitton first worked with Kusama in 2012 and now returns to her vibrant style for its 2023 collection. Spanning a wide range of products for both men and women—from ready-to-wear clothing to accessories and fragrances—the Yayoi Kusama Louis Vuitton pieces are filled with Kusama’s signature joyful colours and creative style.

Kusama developed her unique artistic style in the 1950s and 60s as she travelled the world. She returned to Japan in the 1970s, where she later emerged as a pre-eminent global artist.

Kusama’s most emblematic motifs are featured on everything from clothing to bags, shoes, luggage, and sunglasses. Louis Vuitton makes use of various craftsmanship techniques, including 3D serigraphy, leather marquetry, enamelling, and lasered denim.

The collection’s concept is driven by Louis Vuitton’s and Kusama’s shared values of weaving their works into the fabric of present and future generations using fine craftsmanship.
