Fab Fete: Henri Bendel Store Opening at the Walt Whitman Mall

June 9, 2012

I wandered into the Henri Bendel store opening launch party last Friday at the end of my work day and found myself jam-packed shoulder-to-shoulder with other local fashionistas searching for their free drinks amongst all the accessories.

I’m a huge fan of the Bendel look. I love the brown and white stripes and polka dots and I’m completely in love with their fashion illustrations which I wrote about here. So I about died when I saw that Bendel’s famed illustrator, Izak Zenou was there. I think I actually jumped up and down. He has no idea how I have collected his images through the web, how I had saved about 50 of them to my hard drive and how his images make me so happy. So when I had heard that there was a chance to buy one of his images and have him personally sign one, I forgot all past intentions to save money and quit shopping (for at least the rest of the month) and found the offer too irresistible to squeal anything but a thrilled ‘yes!”

I hope to share an interview with the master artist with you all very soon!

Here’s what I took home (a photo booth booklet, complimentary shopping bag and signed print by Izak).

Comment here if you want my 20% off Bendel card! I’ll choose a winner the last day of this month!

Fab Decor: Henri Bendel

Henri Bendel is a girly girl’s shopping fantasy come true. Just its recognizable brown and white stripe logo and shopping bag make my heart pump with joy. They have the most beautiful collections of: accessories (see their hat collection below), artful makeup displays and in-house branded products ever. All they need is a fabulous shoe collection to match.

I’m one of those weird shoppers that really gets into the whole experience. I browse the products, yes but I also take in all the displays, the signs, the graphics, the packaging and window fronts. I get inspired by it all and am delighted by all the creativity surrounding me. Bendel’s has some of my favorite displays and graphics. Thanks to their famed illustrator, Izak Zenou their store’s interior and general branding are both distinctive and fabulous. Here’s a look into what I saw at Bendel’s this week.

They make Bendel luggage now!

I like this studded red frame!

This lady found the clear totes so fascinating that she wouldn’t move out of the way and I had no patience for her so here’s the beautiful display… and her backside.
