LA GRANDE DAME
It is with its iconic symbols, that Yayoi Kusama adorns La Grande Dame 2012 case and bottle. The opulent flower symbolizes vital energy, love and celebration of life.
The polka dots, Yayoi Kusama’s signature patterns are reworked like champagne bubbles to embody La Grande Dame 2012.
From all my heart, the life of flowers flew away.
My everlasting affection for the flowers,
flew off beyond the universe to show its vitality,
to gaze at the extremes of life.

TWO FASCINATING WOMEN,
TWO PARALLEL DESTINIES
Previously in 2006, Yayoi Kusama had already played with her famous polka dots by revivifying the original portrait of Madame Clicquot for a charity auction in Tokyo.
So, the dialogue between the artist and the Maison has never stopped and has reached another milestone in its most inspiring and sharing ways.
