Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton’s
creative director, first met Kusama at her Tokyo studio in 2006. The
collection sprouted from a Vuitton bag she presented him that she
customised herself. The line will be extensive – with dots covering
everything from coats to shirts to pajamas to bags. It seems like a good
match indeed – Vuitton is not much different from Kusama the way it
splashes its logo across each bag.
"Her energy is just endless," Jacobs said in an interview with Vogue
UK. "Through the painstaking sort of obsession in each of her canvasses
and installations that she's created, you see this world that never
ends. I guess that's what I admire and that's what I respond to in terms
of feeling for her and for her work."
"It continues something I began when I came here which is the idea of
art and collaboration, or collaboration with artists. For many people
who don't look at art or go to galleries, or maybe they're not aware of
Kusama's work, there will be a new venue, a new place to see this work
and to come to appreciate it through the eyes of Louis Vuitton."
