Louis Vuitton 83 years "IT" Girl

  I'm obsessed by contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama for many reasons, but can summarize a sentence: It's a source of inspiration. Kusama, 83, decided to live in Japan, Seiwa Hospital for the mentally ill for the past 30 years to many questions, and yet created the art that is in demand worldwide. She is best known as an avant-garde, pop-art provider of repetitions and patterns (see video at right) known. But it also shines as an abstract artist, and provides a minimalist perspective, which has been recognized and accepted by the artistic community. It is not only inspiring to me, but it is a testimony that you are and remain successful at any age.

Kusama latest project is a new collaboration with luxury brand Louis Vuitton fashion, including clothes, accessories, windows, iPhone apps, a website and a book contains. No stranger to the industry, the fashion company Kusama, a trademark of the artist began in 1968, sold eccentric clothes and fabrics thanks to New York, even landing a shop in Bloomingdale. It is therefore not surprising that Marc Jacobs, artistic director of Louis Vuitton, Kusama made in 2006 to launch the idea of ??cooperation. The collaboration was an eccentric but beautiful pea line of clothing and accessories. "This is a wonderful thing, as contemporary art, somehow permeates its environment and change," Jacobs said in the video Louis Vuitton website. "And know to appreciate for many people who do not go looking to the art galleries, or ... there is a new place, a new place to do this work, and with the eyes of Louis Vuitton. "

Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama Collection is now available in the fall. Prices start at $ 300 and can be purchased globally in 463 Louis Vuitton stores and online. Although you can find online expensive, perhaps in a more affordable option for viewing a museum Kusama work would be interested to know. Louis Vuitton also promotes the Yayoi Kusama retrospective now at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. The six years of his work is on display until the 30th Be September.
