Three Apples is a multi-dimensional exhibition and celebration of all things Hello Kitty running from October 23 to November 15. The celebration, a gift for Hello Kitty fans of all ages, will take place at Los Angeles’ famed Royal/T art space and gallery (www.royal-t.org), a visually stunning and playful, Japanese-inspired art exhibition space, retail store and café, located within Culver City’s vibrant arts community.
The Three Apples art show, curated by Jamie Rivadeneira of JapanLA, features original work by more than eighty artists including: Gary Baseman, Ron English, Buff Monster, Camilla d’Errico, Luke Chueh, Deph, Amanda Visell, Frank Kozik, Natalia Fabia, Huck Gee, Tara McPherson, Yosuke Ueno and of course our own Simone Legno. A portion of the profits will be donated to LA Works, a non-profit company that creates community service projects.

I am proud to announce my first personal project: “Simone Legno” for Target.
Its an honor and exciting to be invited by Target to make this ‘designer for less” line for kids, and to be put into the history of Target’s designer collections which include Alexander McQueen, Anna Sui, Philippe Starck, Michael Graves and many other incredible talents!
This was the very first time that I worked to create a line exclusively targeted for kids, and it was a very free, fun and spontaneous process that led me to make a line of characters based on a young punk rock lifestyle. Ever since moving to America I have wanted to reach the whole country with my art and message, and through Target I can do it! I hope kids will have cool stuff without breaking their piggy bank, but maybe just kindly asking “please please Mum!!”. I am even happy to be able to give a bit of my design for a very affordable price in a period that the global economy is suffering and people are doing their best to make their living.
Please note that you won’t see any of the tokidoki characters since this is a completely different project and design experience for me.
This back to school collection of tee shirts, school bags and stationery will be available for only a very short time…hope most people can get it!
A couple of pictures from the super cool club “the butter factory” in Singapore that features characters by artists from all over the world. Here’s our bastardino and SANDy right above the bar. Pay a visit if you are in Singapore.
tokidoki loves new friends, and 2 of our latest friends are super mega electronics brand logitech and the rock band +44.
we still aren’t sure how it all came together, but the good news is, it did! And so we were completely moved when +44 asked us to design 2 tour buses for them to take on the road in the US as part of the Honda Civic Tour!
even more exciting, we’ve all teamed up on a cool contest at logitech.com where you can enter to meet the band, and win some cool tokidoki and logitech gear! check it out here: http://www.logitech.com/dourule
here is the first of the 2 buses, let us know what you think!
