In the 90s, the first day of school was the prime moment to show off your new back-to-school swag. If you liked bright colors and cute animals, chances are that swag included products by Lisa Frank Inc., the artist/design company behind the instantly recognizable neon rainbows, unicorns, pink leopards, alien beauty queens, cute puppies, and more. Today, as various 90s aesthetics show up to the current culture in waves, the Lisa Frank vibe has simply never left. And we’re NOT mad about it.
Join me and my fabulous designer/screenprinter friend Jackie (@stayunratedpressco) from Stay Unrated Press Co. as we do a colorful swan dive back to the 90s to explore this vibrant world and its legacy today. And if you have a Lisa Frank-themed bachelorette, please invite us. Thanks!
