YAYOI KUSAMA FOR LOUIS VUITTON





Yayoi Kusama 

Japanese Yayoi Kusama has been known in the art industry for many years for her imaginative and conceptual works. The repeating patterns used specifically in this collaboration are a perfect match for Louis Vuitton as they are "splashed like monograms" along iconic Vuitton coats, bags and shoes. Kusama has spent most of her adult life in a psychiatric hospital but this emotional fervor has guided her from her start as one of the primary instigators of pop-art to one of Japans (and hopefully worlds) best known artists.
