Henri Bendel’s will feature Angel Lust headpieces which were designed by fellow indie, Kristen May Anastasia. Kristen has been building a cult-like following amongst downtown and uptown girls for her hyper-styled headgear, which was recently featured on Gossip Girls (I know, we said we wouldn’t talk about them again, but come on, one of our friends got her goods on the show and it’s worth a mention).
You can pick up one of these exclusive head pieces at Henri Bendels thru Wednesday so stop by. If you really love Gossip Girls (which I’m sure you all do), then head there on Tuesday cause one of the stars of the show will be available to sign autographs with Kristen.
If you can’t stop by Bendel’s, you can pick up Angel Lust at Shop and Patricia Fields.

So twice a year NYC’s famous Henri Bendel’s holds a search for new indie designers looking for an in to the industry. Designers will start to line up outside starting at 2am in the morning. I was not going to get up that early, however I did get there at 7:30am and at that time was still 2 city blocks away from the entrance. While about a thousand people continued to add on with every hour or so.My time paid off thanks to the hands of the fashion gods and my brilliant reps at Bui-Lavry PR who helped me display and sell my treasured head pieces. Bendel’s is giving me a time slot to host my own Angel Lust trunk show near the end of April, which will coincide with the debut of my items on “Gossip Girl” !!!I’m going to write more about the event on my personal blog along with some very helpful tips for all future designers who want to stand in line.
