Olympics Vuitton Cutie

Someone must be in a shopping mood: Day 2 of Vuitton postings (perhaps the weeks theme?).



Always game for an artsy collaboration, Louis Vuitton is marking the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics with an exhibition in their London store by showing a selection of limited-edition prints celebrating the Games by Britain’s top art stars. The one above is by Anthea Hamilton, who I adore for her DaDa-ist sensibility, and caught my eye for both the idea of juggling the rings on feet with the pool background as a pattern. Hello There Cutie!   xxxo

Kusama Vuitton Kutie

I love polka dots & Louis Vuitton so imagine my joy when I heard about this marriage: Yayoi Kusama (草間 彌生) is a Japanese artist best known for a thematic interest in psychedelic colors, repetition and pattern, especially polka dots! The glasses above are an example of what will be in LV stores later this month (and just in time for my birthday... hint wink nudge) as a full series collaboration (bags, accessories, clothing) between the designer and the fashion house. How v. Hello There Cutie.   xxxo

Planning for 2011 Cuties

With 2011 just around the corner, gotta start planning for the year ahead. Each year I buy the same boring planner inserts at Vuitton, but this agenda might set me on a different course. Featuring illustration by Earmark's Mike Berndt, I adore all the different silly scenarios going on all over this... super Hello There Cutie, isn't it??? xxxo

Artsy Monkey Cuteness

Louis Vuitton sponsored an exhibit in Hong Kong last year and asked some major modern artists to take part. This piece by Jeff Koons was included, and it definitely upped the Cutie quota. I adore the inflatable monkeys funny face, and the birds behind him seems to be chirping "Hello There Cutie!" xxxo
