New colours and maxi dots in Louis Vuitton’s second collaboration with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.<\/h2>\n

Extravagance, colour and circular shapes<\/strong> are some of the patterns that recur in the works of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama<\/strong><\/a>. It was these characteristics that won over Marc Jacobs<\/a><\/strong>, then creative director of Louis Vuitton, in 2012. Thus, the iconic monogram of the brand was filled with the characteristic coloured dots of the Japanese artist<\/strong>, giving that pop aesthetic to some of the accessories and garments of the Parisian maison.<\/p>\n

Now, a decade later, Louis Vuitton has announced a new collaboration with Yayoi Kusama<\/strong>. The announcement followed the presentation of Nicolas Ghesqui\u00e8re’s cruise 2023 collection<\/a> for the brand<\/strong>, which took place in San Diego last week.<\/p>\n

A preview of the new collaboration was seen at the show. In addition to the motif of coloured dots that had already been used in 2012<\/strong>, now more irregular and larger in size, this time there are also metallic dots in relief<\/strong>. These are a direct reference to the artist’s installation Narcissus Garden<\/em><\/strong> (1966), made up of 1,500 mirror spheres.<\/p>\n

Although we have already been able to enjoy the first designs of the second chapter of Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama, the collection will go on sale in January 2023 in all its physical shops and on its website<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
