Yayoi Kusama
In this photo taken Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012, Japanese avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama works at her studio, filled with wall-sized paintings throbbing with her repetitive dots, in Tokyo.
Kusama's signature splash of dots has now arrived in the realm of fashion in a new collection from French luxury brand Louis Vuitton - bags, sunglasses, shoes and coats. The latest Kusama collection is showcased at its boutiques around the world, including New York, Paris, Tokyo and Singapore, sometimes with replica dolls of Kusama.
