Louis Vuitton, purveyor of exquisite fashion, teams up with the venerable Yayoi Kusama to create an unparalleled collaboration. A testament to the brand's illustrious history of collaborating with renowned artists, this initiative is their most ambitious yet.

This volume celebrates the momentous partnership between Yayoi Kusama and Louis Vuitton, offering a glimpse at the seminal artistic ideas that informed the collaboration. Within these pages, the visionary artist's works are paired with the stunningly innovative fashion collection she created with the luxury brand.

Edited by Ferdinando Verdi and Isabel Venero, this volume boasts contributions from top-tier fashion and art professionals, such as writer Jo-Ann Furniss (who delves into the collaboration), designer Marc Jacobs (who sparked the house's partnership with Kusama), and curators Mika Yoshitake and Philip Larratt-Smith (both of whom have presented exhibitions on the artist's work). Furthermore, one of the most celebrated curators and Artistic Director of Serpentine Galleries, London, Hans Ulrich Obrist has a conversation with longtime Kusama expert Akira Tatehata.

Celebrating the acclaimed union of these two creative giants, the book furnishes contemplations from some of the most distinguished modern artists and musicians—including Arca, Katherine Bradford, Anne Imhoff, Ryan McNamara, Raúl de Nieves, Ryan Trecartin, Nora Turato, and Jacolby Satterwhite—wherein they remark on Kusama's influence and her unique aptitude for constructing dreamlike realms with her recognizable polka dots and reflective globes, symbols of her meaningful outlook on art and the cosmos.
Jo-Ann Furniss is an editor, creative director, and writer. She was the editor-in-chief of Arena Homme+ from 2004 to 2011, and writes regularly for I-D, The Face, and AnOther Magazine, as well as the New York Times.

Mika Yoshitake, PhD, is an independent curator with expertise in postwar Japanese art. She received her MA and PhD in Art History from UCLA.
