It looks like Louis Vuitton is going all in with their new Infinitely Kusama collaborative line with Japanese avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama. The French fashion house is planning seven special pop-up shops around the globe decorated with Kusama’s signature dot motif as well as her pumpkin sculptures to match her inspired clothing and products. The first store will open in New York on July 10th, two days before Kusama’s touring retrospective opens at the Whitney Museum. Other high-profile locations planned include Pacific Place in Hong Kong, Ngee Ann City in Singapore, Isetan’s Shinjuku branch in Tokoyo, the Dover Street Market in Ginza, Printemps in Paris, and Selfridges in London. Of the three other artists chosen by creative director Marc Jacobs to partner with the brand (Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami, and Richard Prince), Kusama is the only one with multiple pop-up shops.
