Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama Taps Cate Blanchett & Justin Timberlake + 4 | May 2023 New York Opening Awaits AOC Fashion

Louis Vuitton taps six new talents and image-makers to its second drop in the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama 2023 collaboration.

Mega stars Australian actor Cate Blanchett and Amercan music artist Justin Timberlake, a ‘friend of the house’ but not an ambassador, are joined by South Korean actor HoYeon Jung, French actor Lea Seydoux, tennis pro Naomi Osaka and Chinese actor Zhou Congyu.

Kusama’s signature pumpkin artwork moves into the spotlight, with January drop Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama dots receeding in the new ‘Creating Infinity’collection.

Photographer Steven Meisel is again behind the lens with Carine Roitfeld in charge of styling. Creative Director Ferdinando Verderi worked with makeup artist Pat McGrath to create henna-like tattoos on the faces and bodies of the talents that twin the artworks decorating their corresponding Capucines and Monogram handbags.

This uber-sophisticated, artistic effect warants major applause for being totally fabulous in a modern way, while channeling ancient beauty art techniques. An entire pumpkin patch is growing on Timberlake’s arm, while not-subtle floral designs sprawl across Blanchett’s jaw, neck and face to her cheekbone.

Yayoi Kusama will open her largest exhibition in New York on May 12. Her exhibition, titled “I Spend Each Day Embracing Flowers,” will include new paintings, sculptures featuring her signature flower and pumpkin motifs and a new Infinity Mirrored Room.

David Zwirner’s West 19th and West 20th street galleries will host the event. After reviewing more Yayoi Kusama exhibits coming in 2023, a second post is required. This is incredible.

Kusama is the world’s most successful woman artist. And she does indeed influence the entire world, which is part of her enormous influence.

The new Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama ‘Creating Infinity’ campaign appears on billboards Wednesday, March 22. The second drop products will be available in Louis Vuitton stores worldwide on March 31.
