The exhibition featured other favorite designers like Paul Frank and artists Dabs Myla and Tokidoki’s Simone Legno.

They all came together to showcasing their take on the most loveable Sanrio characters.

There is still one more day to check it out if you are in the NYC area!

If you are looking for something today this weekend and happen to be in New York. There is a huge event called “Hello Kitty, Hello Art!” Sanrio‘s pop-up shop and gallery show at Openhouse Gallery starting Friday December 14, through Sunday 16, 2012!

Featuring art installation inspired by Sanrio characters designed by Dabs Myla, plus new works by Betsey Johnson, Pose Msk, Simone Legno, & many more!

I would like to see what Betsey has to offer!

Also heck out a sneak peek of what’s in store for men’s fashion from the latest Sanrio and Japan LA Clothing collaboration. The new line features fashionable pink plaid Hello Kitty Bowties. I think they could be warn by men and woman, and probably will be. Check the picture below.

If you have not been to FAO Schwarz in a while now is the time to go! On display is the very first Sanrio Hello Kitty collection introduced in the United States, to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of FAO Schwarz. The exhibit is going now through April 10, 2012. I actually had this hello kitty but her jumper was red and the ducky was yellow. With Sanrio tag dating 1976. But by the time I gave her up she just wasn’t as plush. Anyway visit “A Gallery of Historic Toys” and see vintage 1976 Hello Kitty plush, camera, pencil box, pencils, mini coloring set, puzzle, folding mirror, and comb! Along with several other nostalgic toys like Hot Wheels, Steiff Teddy Bears, Cabbage Patch Kids, Nintendo Entertainment System, and much more!
