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