Labubu lovers, style insiders, and curious creatives are all invited to show up, show out, and share the spotlight. Think rhinestone-studded figurines, designer totes turned doll carriers, and street-style looks that stop traffic. Whether you’re a collector, a fashion fan, or simply here for the spectacle, come be part of the magic where #MyCityCenterDC and couture collide.
Labubu Who?
Labubu is fashion’s latest miniature muse. With a grin that’s equal parts charming and mischievous, Labubu has quietly captured the hearts of style lovers and collectors across the globe. Born from the imagination of Hong Kong illustrator Kasing Lung in 2015, Labubu made its debut in The Monsters, a storybook series inspired by Nordic folklore. Since then, the character has stepped off the page and into a world of couture, creativity, and collectible cool.
A Global
Phenomenon
Labubu’s rise to cultural icon status was sparked through a collaboration with Chinese art toy leader POP MART. With each figure delivered as a blind box — no two guaranteed — the experience blends luxury, mystery, and storytelling. What began as a character in a fairy tale has evolved into a symbol of individuality and creative expression, embraced by tastemakers and creatives worldwide.
From BLACKPINK’s Lisa to global fashion houses, Labubu has made its mark not just in collections, but in campaigns, closets, and couture-inspired visuals.
Where Fashion Meets Fantasy
Join the meet-up July 18th at CityCenterDC and immerse yourself in a moment of imagination and style —
where the art of collecting meets the art of fashion.
Labubu shines as a whimsical muse for the style-savvy and the imaginative alike. Nestled somewhere between high design and childlike wonder, this mischievous figure has become a darling of the fashion world—appearing in curated spaces, editorial shoots, and luxury brand collaborations. More than a collectible, Labubu is now a cultural icon where fashion, art, and play effortlessly intertwine.
