Louis Vuitton are known to be creative with their window displays and this one stopped me in my tracks and I had to take out my camera to share with you.
Yesterday when I passed by the shop, couldn't figure out the new window display... looked like huge swirling octopus tentacles in red and white polka dots.
Have since found out, the windows have been designed by Yayoi Kusama, an 82 year old Japanese Artist. Kusama is one of the most exciting and prolific artists working today.
Famous for her iconic use of polka dots and she collaborated with Louis Vuitton to produce a range of collectable pieces in her signature style.
Certainly does make a change, from the brown monogrammed leather.
Wishing you a happy week
Hugs
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteVery interesting indeed! How incredible that she's 82 years old still working, producing, and living life to its fullest. So many folks just throw in the towel when they get a certain age.. it's great that she's out there, being creative!
Enjoy your day!

It certainly makes you have a second look doesn't it.

Very special indeed, dear Carolyn- I am sure it will make many other people stop and have a look, and I guess that`s what it was meant to!
ReplyDeleteWish you a beautiful tuesday , with happy hours.

Hi honey
ReplyDeleteGosh I have missed you. I have been catching up with you tonight and I was so sorry to read the post about your Mom. I do hope she is doing better and recovery goes well for her. I know you have been beside yourself with worry.
This is an amazing display. To know it was done by an 80 year old artist makes it even more amazing.
I admire her for doing what she loves.
Hope I can keep in better touch with you in the future. I have really been a bad blogger these last few months. I just can't seem to find extra time here lately to blog.
Enjoyed my visit with you
Love
Maggie

ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn!!....wow that is really different. I'm not sure what I think about it yet but I can surely appreciate it. I hope to be still creating at that age.
ReplyDeleteFinally I'm back from my summer blogging hiatus. I looked back on a few of your posts and I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's troubles. I'm glad she is slowly making a recovery.
Hope your winter is turning into springtime flowers and lots of sunshine! It's always a pleasure visiting you.
