May the love you attract in 2025 feel soft, nourishing, reciprocal, and easy. Not traumatizing, ill-timed, or emotionally immature.

Basquiat Barbie!

“Basquiat Barbie is here! One of my favs I’ve ever designed in my career. Such an honor to be at the intersection of @barbie & Basquiat! Basquiat himself had such an iconic lewk and I wanted to interpret that for Barbie. He often wore suits, sometimes even painting in them, so I put Barbie in a suit, making it super oversized to evoke a 1980s vibe, which was Basquiat’s heyday. Each panel of the suit, shirt, tie and belt is printed with a different work spanning Basquiat’s career, my fav is ‘Big Joy’ circa 1984 on suit jacket’s left arm! The belt features a repeat of Basquiat’s early ‘SAMO’ tag. There’s a portrait of Basquiat where he wears the right side lapel of this shirt tucked underneath his tie, so I wanted to replicate that specific styling. Barbie’s hair was inspired by Basquiat’s signature dreadlocks, crowned with a 3D version of Basquiat’s 2D crown. The Basquiat crown is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable Basquiat symbols so I had to include it. Basquiat’s principles of greatness and self-worth and crowning yourself as king and not waiting for someone else to validate you resonated with me. Shout out to two incredible co-workers for designing the beautiful packaging; @laydianachiv on graphics layout and @_zordon on structure! A heartfelt thank you to The Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat & @artestarnyc for granting us access to a digital archive of Basquiat’s entire career. “
