Designer Toys are an unrecognized link between our youthful and adult selves—not to mention awkward adolescents and their accomplished graphic designer adult selves. Toystreet in Soho last weekend aimed to bridge the gap with a selection of designer toys. Pictured above you’ll see my favorite booth of the event, Masahiro Ito‘s three-dimensional graffiti-inspired toy set that appeared to be breaking out of a miniature wall. The artist’s wardrobe also stood out (and complemented his toys), by fusing hip hop and traditional Native American costume. He designed it himself.
