3D Retro is a designer toy manufacturer, retailer, and distributor based in California, USA. Specializing in art toys, vinyl collectibles, and limited-edition figures, the company has become a key player in the designer toy scene, working with well-known artists, sculptors, and brands to bring unique collectibles to life. DesignerCon is an annual art and design convention that smashes together collectible toys, customs, plush, designer apparel and so much more with urban, underground and pop art! We are a celebration of all aspects from the world of design. From her 1994 graffiti debut in hometown Toulouse (France), to her recent collaborations with Adidas, M.A.C cosmetics and Chanel, FAFI always left a strong mark wherever she decided to put her pencils and brushes on. Painting and hustling her sexy and sometimes aggressive characters, exploring feminity through stereotypes and using them to her advantage, she not only knocked her male colleagues and competitors out their socks, she also locked toy manufacturing deals with Sony and Medicom, countless press stories and illustrations for Vogue, Elle or The Face, big market collaborations with Hennessy, Swatch and Le SportSac, not to mention many solo and prestigious group shows in the most respected galleries around the globe. Her next natural move was animating the ‘Fafinettes’ in music videos like Lily Allen and Mark Ronson’s ‘Oh My God’ or her own-directed ‘Do Do Do’ for Ed Banger act Carte Blanche. Her first comic book ‘THE CARMINE VAULT’ is set to be released in September 2012 on eminent Rizzoli Books publishing from New-York City. Now not only the Fafinettes are fly girls, they also run a whole universe of creatures, homes and vehicles. It’s a dreamy and peculiar place.
