Milan's Garage Traversi finds new life with Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama - A new space in the heart of Milan and a collaboration with Yayoi Kusama

Louis Vuitton has chosen the former Garage Traversi, just a stone's throw from Piazza San Babila, to open the doors to its new Milan location. The new space in Via Bagutta is spread over three floors: the ground and second floors are dedicated to retail, while the second floor is for the house's special projects. The calendar alternates between immersive pop-ups and exhibitions with artistic and cultural ambitions.

Coinciding with the global launch of the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collection, the House celebrated the opening of the new Milan space dedicated to special projects with an incredible immersive installation inspired by the Japanese artist's art and her recurring motifs, such as her obsessive, repetitive polka dots that litter all surfaces, offering visitors a unique, dystopian experience. Surrounded by the Infinity Dots pattern of yellow and black polka dots and the Metal Balls, the maxi metal spheres in which the room is reflected, they multiply endlessly. Inside the room, the products resulting from the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama were presented, underlining the importance of craftsmanship and excellence: handbags, shoes, men's and women's fashion, sunglasses, fragrances and jewellery, almost all Louis Vuitton's universes are imbued with the Japanese artist's motifs and ideas of infinity.
