So who exactly is this chick named Fafi? Perhaps you have seen one of her designs before, on M.A.C. Cosmetics or Le Sportsac. Fafi just happens to be one of my favorite mainstream inspirational and bold artists (i just thought it would be great to blog about one of my favorite artists). Fafi is a graffiti artist that started out studying under Miss Van and Miss Kat. Originally from Toulouse, her graffiti was first noticed on walls of her hometown in 1994. Fafi essentially is known for her images of sexy and liberated girls in a blend of graffiti and fine art. Fafi is the epitome of DOPE. Her work captures 3D effect and has become mainstream. Fafi's work has taken over shirts, handbags and has been showcased in collaborations with Adidas. She has had articles in prestigious magazines such as Vogue, Elle, The Face, XLR8R, Yen and much more. Fafi's creativity has been documented in her two books GIRLS ROCK (2003) and LOVE AND FAFINESS (2006). Fafi is also the wife of DJ Mehdi of the Ed Banger label. I think they look cute together. Perhaps Fafi was the inspiration behind Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Girls? Fafi's style, technique and aspect on art has captured my attention and hopefully she has captured yours. She is yet another example of Females with an inspirational idea. LOVE HER.
her vibrant colors capture the eye. I love that.
Check out her out in action. Old video, but still interesting.
Hopefully this funky,unique and interesting artist will have more to share with the public.
