Peach Riot: Libby Frame
Learn more →Libby Frame didn't design figures. She designed a band. An illustrator from Los Angeles and a graduate of Illustration Design, she was a concept artist before she came to Pop Mart. When she got the offer to collaborate, she knew one thing: she had to create something that would hold up for years. She combined music, fashion and rebellion — and so Peach Riot was born. Three girls, three characters, one band: Poppy, Gigi and Frankie. Set in a '90s aesthetic, inspired by the riot grrrl movement from the Pacific Northwest — anarchic, high-energy music about freedom of expression. Every figure has plenty of movement, because for Libby a pose is a narrative. The T-shirts on the figures in the Rise Up series are her own designs from the little shop she ran before Pop Mart. For the Punk Fairy series she wrote and recorded her own song. Her style, identity and musical taste live in Poppy, Gigi and Frankie — not on purpose, it just comes out that way. Meet the artist who put herself into every one of the characters.
