Concept Design
Beat Street is a doll line that showcases alternative subculture through the styles and personalities of four teenagers who form the fictional band Beat Street, named after the street they all grew up in.
The design of this doll line aims to go against the mainstream societal standards of dress and conformity, and show children a form of authentic and timeless expression using the themes and styles of alternative communities.
