Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama Collab Debuts in Vogue Netherlands January 2023 by Koto Bolofo

Vogue Netherlands gets the jump on fashion stories centered on the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collaboration, a sequel to the 2012 first project between the two global juggernauts.

Critically-acclaimed artist Yayoi Kusama has been breaking new ground for more than six decades and is now 93 years old. Known for her use of dots in multiple artistic media, do not think for one minute that Kusama’s art is created as a fashion statement.

Our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos. Polka dots are a way to infinity. –Yayoi Kusama

Vogue Netherland’s fashion story is perfectly titled ‘It Takes a Dot to Make a Point’. The cast includes models Fan Xu, Ilona Folt, and Rokhaya Fall.
