THE ART OF SAVOIR FAIRE

When the worlds of Yayoi Kusama and Louis Vuit ton collide, the result can only be the season’s most talked about collection that explores the realms of infinity

Ten years ago, it was a collaboration that captured all attention and imagination. The icons aka the Speedy, Neverfull, and Keepall got a makeover under the hypnotic and colourful eye of Yayoi Kusama – and the rest, which is history, continues to populate preloved shopping websites. It’s only natural that the two forces of art and craft combine for version 2.0. Louis Vuitton X Yayoi Kusama is finally here this month, with a wide-ranging collection of ready-to-wear, bags, shoes, accessories, luggage, and trunks and fragrances, appearing in two parts, with distinct thematic directions that reflect Kusama’s motifs and motivations. After an initial glimpse at LV’s San Diego Cruise 2023 show last May, the January 2023 drop includes the painted dots, metal dots, infinity dots, and psychedelic flower collections.
