PRINCESS OF POLKA DOTS

My obsession with polka dots stemmed from the utterly fascinating Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama, who they call the princess of polka dots. Alongside Andy Warhol, her impact on the New York art world in the 60's is a huge inspiration and she tells a great story of her passion for art from a very young age. After tracking one down on net-a-porter.com, I think it's safe to say now that my Comme des Garçons collection is happily complete with this polka dot pouch:
