Antoine Asseraf in NYC

Dear Shaded iewers,

walking uptown with my friend Yoann, we encountered a lot of weird things, like a 3-floor M&M’s store filled with M&M’s tshirts, boxers, baby clothers..and M&M’s. but i’ll spare you pictures of what hundreds of square meters of inane merchandising looks like..

Going into FAO Schwartz, the biggest and most dreamy toy-store ever, we walked along their Limited Edition Barbie collection.

Some very classy 50’s and 60’s-looking Barbie’s,

some very 90’s Donatella-looking Barbies, some very Metrosexual Ken’s…

I don’t understand why don’t they don’t have more designer Barbies, I mean, what better way to “broaden your customer base” than to get customers while they’re still young ?!

and then the very sassy Anna Sui Barbie!

Just imagine Viktor & Rolf Barbie and Bernhard Wilhelm Barbie.

Oh. I was forgetting one Barbie that I didn’t really get.

Beergarten Barbie ???
