Louis Vuitton × Yayoi Kusama chaqueta universitaria bordada, lana roja y piel marfil, flor azul, talla 58

From the house’s celebrated collaboration with Yayoi Kusama, a varsity jacket that joins American sportswear proportions to luxury materials and the artist’s botanical vocabulary. A dimensional blue flower blooms on red wool, answered by Louis Vuitton script, and the piece appears unused, with its original tag retained.

The Piece

The foundation is a traditional varsity jacket, executed in luxury terms: a saturated red wool body with contrasting ivory leather sleeves, white snaps down the center and striped rib knit at hem and cuffs. Against this controlled red-and-ivory structure the artwork takes the lead. One side of the chest carries a large blue flower in layered embroidery with a painterly arrangement of petals; the other bears flowing Louis Vuitton script in contrasting tones. Rather than covering the jacket in repeated graphics, the design leaves generous areas of uninterrupted red and white, and that restraint gives the artwork room to breathe.

The collaboration brings together the house’s precision in construction and Kusama’s personal world of repetition, natural forms, color and obsessive mark-making. Kusama is most immediately associated with dots, but her wider vocabulary includes flowers and organic forms, and this jacket explores that softer botanical side. The varsity silhouette, already tied to patches, insignia and personal identity, lets the artwork feel integrated rather than applied, so the piece works at once as outerwear, luxury design and wearable contemporary art.

The flower is built from layered blue, lavender and darker tonal threads, producing visible depth rather than a flat printed effect; irregular contours, shaded interiors and petal edges give it a hand-rendered quality. The script on the opposite chest balances it without competing, and the asymmetric placement keeps the front dynamic even when fully fastened. From a distance the jacket reads as a classic red-and-white varsity; up close, the embroidery, leather texture and finishing reveal its collaborative character.

Dense 100% wool gives warmth, structure and matte richness, while the ivory cowhide sleeves, with subtle tonal grain visible under changing light, frame the red body and end in red-and-ivory striped ribbed cuffs. Coordinated rib knit at collar, cuffs and hem draws the generous proportions in at waist and wrists. Angled front pockets with contrasting light trim sit in the lower body, keeping the front streamlined below the artwork, and the bright snaps set a clean vertical rhythm, wearable closed, partly fastened or open.

The cut is a substantial oversized varsity proportion, about 70 cm across the chest and 56 cm across the shoulders, relaxed and suited to layering, with strong presence even worn open. It can be styled traditionally or as statement outerwear, ideally over restrained clothing such as black tailored trousers, wide-leg or dark indigo denim, monochrome knitwear, white T-shirts, minimal sneakers, leather footwear or relaxed contemporary tailoring. Its scale also gives it real display value within a collection.
