Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama Collaboration

Paris-based luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton has collaborated with Yayoi Kusama on a series of products including leather goods, ready-to-wear, shoes and accessories such as watches and jewelry.

Marc Jacobs has worked closely with Japanese artist Kusama for this collection, which will be hitting Louis Vuitton boutiques early July 2012.  Of course this isn’t Marc Jacobs first time, as the fashion designer has collaborated  with contemporary artists such as Richard Prince, Stephen Sprouse and Takashi Murakami in the past.

Portrait of 82-year old artis Yayoi Kusama

To commemorate the collaboration special window installations are also planned and we are assuming that they might have something to do with Kusama’s signature polka dots.

82-year old Kusama is an artist with a unique aesthetic, she is known for her polka dot installations in rooms, on tree trunks and on people!  The collaboration ties in with a major retrospective show on Kusama’s work which is planned to be showcased at London’s Tate Modern on February 9th, 2012 and will travel to Rome, Madrid and Paris. 

We’re looking forward to this great collaboration!

Louis Vuitton’s Miel de la Belle Jardiniere Honey

Did you know that bee hives installed in the city can yield three to four times as much as hives in agricultural areas?  Well, according to Pursuitist, in 2009, luxury brand Louis Vuitton installed three beehives on the roof of its headquarters on the Champs-Élysées in Paris welcoming as many as 200,000 city bees.  Throughout 2010, the ‘city’ bees gathered 75KG (approximately 165 pounds) of nectar, from which the golden honey was produced. The honey was extracted directly by Bernard Arnault himself.  The luxury brand has harvested their first batch called La Belle Jardiniere in signature LV packaging with the LV symbols on the sides.  The product reads in fine print, “Produit a Paris par Louis Vuitton” (Produced in Paris by Louis Vuitton).  Unfortunately for us, this honey will be given as a gift to friends and family of the house. So if you end up with a jar, consider yourself lucky!
