Infinitely Kusama ...

Earlier this year, I wrote a post about Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama mentioning that she will be doing a collaboration with French Fashion house, Louis Vuitton.

Although the 'Infinitely Kusama' Collection won't be available until July 10th, images of the Garments, Bags, Jewelry and Shoes designed by the artist have been revealed ...

The pieces feature Kusama's iconic Dot Pattern which is expressed in her signature color combinations of Red, White, Black and Yellow. 

Highlighted to various degrees, the Fun Repetitive Pattern is used both for making a statement and taking an otherwise simple pattern, to the next level without any sacrifice in terms of versatility. 

High-quality and Fun details are a recipe for Popularity, which means that the Label will most likely conquer Fashionista's hearts once again.

I cannot wait to see the Newest Alternatives of 'Polka Dots' that will be hitting the stores in order to see the impact that these Unique Pieces will have on the Mass Market.
