We went to Paris 2 summers ago and whilst on the way to the Pompidou centre we passed what looked like an empty signless shop. i peered in the window and saw what i thought was some miss van artwork.
My heart skipped a beat
I was promised we would return to the gallery and so on the way back i ventured inside.
To my disappointment it was not Miss Van but 'Fafi'
I had never heard of her before but was sure she was a Miss Van rip-off
Then i saw her designs for Mac makeup packaging last year and was so surprised
I still prefer Miss Van
My old art teacher introduced me to her and I had also seen some of her work for Fornarina
I love how she mixes a girly palette and makes a cute, feminine yet overtly sexual image
Her style is so distinctive
She is a genius
