I know I did a post about the Kusama/Vuitton collaboration just recently, but that was about the pop-up shop at Selfridges. What I didn’t realise, until I happened to walk past it, was that the Vuitton Bond St shop has had a Kusama makeover as well. I like it even better than Selfridges; the windows are more Kusama and less Vuitton, if you see what I mean. So I don’t feel at all bad about bringing you another set of pictures. You can’t have too much Kusama – well, I can’t anyway.
The windows feature more organic forms that Selfridges with Kusama standing boldly in the midsts of forest of huge white-spotted red tentacles holding a black-spotted yellow bag:
The tentacles have spread to the first floor windows:
Once they get to the first floor they grow down from the ceiling instead of up from the floor:
And they fight for territory with Vuitton-style glittery curtains:
Giant spotted flowers with eyes at their centres greedily watch passers-by:
Inside there’s plenty of space for the displays and you can wander round in relative peace.
Go quickly if you want to see it – the Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week has just finished and the shops will be full of acid yellow checks before you know it.
