Yayoi Kusama for Louis Vuitton
September 21st, 2012 — Art and Culture, Dress Up
This Summer Louis Vuitton launched their latest collaboration with Japanesse artist Yayoi Kusama, perfect for the adventurous, bold, and vibrant Wife. The capsule collection will consist of ready to wear clothing, handbags, small accessories, shoes and jewelry.
The passionate artist’s love for spots has spread across the world resulting in a series of eccentric window displays for the French Fashion House, in addition to Selfridges (UK). The 84 year old has said she sees her life as “a dot lost among millions of other dots.” She is most defined by her signature style and obsession of endless polka dots, being reviewed as “obsessive, repetitive and rhythmic”. The reason being, a dot is a round shape that has no end and there for is infinite. This collection is definitely spot on.
Louis Vuitton’s other previous successful collaborations have included: Takashi Murakami (2003) and Stephen Sprouse (2001). What do you think of Louis Vuitton’s newest collaboration? – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE
The Cultured WIFE: Yayoi Kusama
September 21st, 2012 — Art and Culture, The Cultured WIFE
Yayoi Kusama (草間 彌生 or 弥生 Kusama Yayoi?, born March 22, 1929) is a Japanese artist and writer. Throughout her career she has worked in a wide variety of media, including painting, collage, sculpture, performance art and environmental installations, most of which exhibit her thematic interest in psychedelic colors, repetition and pattern. A precursor of the pop art, minimalist and feminist artmovements, Kusama influenced contemporaries such as Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg.Although largely forgotten after departing the New York art scene in the early 1970s, Kusama is now acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan, and an important voice of the avant-garde.
