Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama Collection // When Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama first met Marc Jacobs, receiving him at her Tokyo studio in 2006, she presented the designer with a Louis Vuitton Ellipse bag, whose monogram canvas she had painted over with dots, the defining motif of her long career.
“That’s so beautiful, look at that,” Jacobs exclaimed, twirling her handiwork for the camera of Loïc Prigent, who captured the encounter in his 2007 documentary “Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton.”
Six years later, Kusama’s dots are on back on Vuitton leather goods — and this time on a global scale.

“Ladies come to me for a gown as they go to a distinguished painter to get their portrait put on canvas. I am an artist, not a dressmaker.” -Paul Poiret, 1913

To me fashion always has been and always will be a form of art, with fabrics, colors and fit a medium to express ideas, emotions, stories. When I thought of going into fashion, I had art in mind. Not mass-production.
