Louis Vuitton & Yayoi Kusama pop-up store to open in Singapore

A collaboration where art meets fashion finds its way to Singapore. It is one of the 7 Louis Vuitton Kusama concept stores opening worldwide.

The Singapore branch will be located at Ngee Ann City, near the Louis Vuitton store, opening on July 13. Other cities include fashion capitals' Tokyo, NewYork, Hong Kong, Paris, and London.

The concept store in Singapore will be inspired by “nerves”: the biomorphic shaped sculptures which are one of Yayoi Kusama’s most iconic artworks. The stores will be covered with red polka dots, which reflect Kusama’s obsession with the idea of accumulation. These stores will be extremely vigorous and playful with large scales and vivid colours: all in Kusama’s iconic red and white.

The stores are set to give clients the impression of entering inside Kusama’s artworks, and to “self-obliterate” themselves as Yayoi Kusama has wished it to be.

Window displays

Much awaited are the two artworks for the worldwide network of Louis Vuitton stores.

The "Eternal Blooming Flowers in Mind", featuring iconic flower sculptures of Kusama, and the "Beginning of the Universe", featuring her nonetheless iconic “nerve” sculptures.  

Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama products

The product collection will be the most expansive product collection to date, from RTW to shoes, accessories like sunglasses and scarves, watches and jewellery, leather bags, small leather goods.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
