Taking a very different direction from Dolce & Gabbana’s Sicilian baroque inspired collection, the French fashion house asked the assistance of a modern artist, Yayoi Kusama. In 2011, the Japanese artist shared and introduced her postmodern vision to Louis Vuitton’s aesthetics, and the whole collection represents the balance between her chaotic, modern style, and LV’s classic pieces. Yayoi Kusama is known for her significant dots ─and with her help, the Louis Vuitton stores turned into literal art exhibitions. The dominant red & white and black & yellow combinations, the placement of the mannequins, the feminine and timeless dresses, and the redesigned LV bags are all little details that bring the whole collection together. Working together with Yayoi Kusama, Louis Vuitton opened a new chapter in the world of fashion collaborations.
