Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton: Creating Infinity marks the culmination of the House's collaboration with world-renowned artist Yayoi Kusama, inviting readers to immerse themselves in her groundbreaking artworks and the revolutionary fashion collection she designed, as they journey through the fundamental artistic themes that inspired the collaboration. Under the direction of Ferdinando Verderi and Isabel Venero, the book features an unprecedented introduction by Yayoi Kusama herself and contributions from esteemed experts in the fields of fashion and art. These include writer Jo-Ann Furniss, who explores the collaboration; designer Marc Jacobs, who initiated the House’s relationship with Kusama; and curators Mika Yoshitake and Philip Larratt-Smith, both of whom have organized important exhibitions on the artist’s work.
