Fafi: She's Got it!

Drawn by Fafi

Location

Fafi Paris
France

Today graffiti is an artistic style, both respected and learned. And don't think that NYC is the hometown of graffiti, no, there is a new graffiti tigress on the block and she's a Parisian.

Truth is, she isn't that new. Fafi is the name of the game. She was born and raised in Toulouse, France where her outrageous female cartoons were first noticed in 1994. Her color palette is wild and just as blazing as Rainbow Brite.

Fafi has created a new species of female cartoons. Her little spitfires are voluptuous and full of attitude.

Once her work was noticed she continued to spread the paint all around the world: Europe, USA, Japan, and China. She takes with her a team of graffitists called, Fafinettes!

It's a Fafi world out there. Her recent work can be seen in the designs for LeSportSac, Adidas, Coca-Cola, numerous fashion magazines, and the new Mark Ronson music video; where she created a Fafi-ed Lily Allen character that seems to be a play off of the seductress, Jessica Rabbit.

More importantly, Fafi is giving power to the women.

This is one of the most amazing department stores in the world.  It is always cutting edge with the designers it carries (both international and homegrown French designers).  There are plenty of floors to explore and tons of styles to pick from.  They have everything for both men and women: clothes, accessories, cafe, and a new floor opening dedicated to souvenirs.  Also a fun thing to go to is their weekly fashion show at 3 pm on Fridays.  Some of their merchandise can be a bit pricey but they do always have great sales.  While shopping at Galeries Lafayett
