Willow Bean Studio

My muse is 18 today. 💜

At six, she wore a birthday dress I made for her. At eight, she wrapped herself in my wedding gown before it was turned it into her communion dress. Looking back at these photos, I see so much of the story behind Willow Bean.

Willow, you’ve inspired more than the dresses. You’ve shaped the heart of this little world we’ve built together. Getting to create with you by my side over the years has been one of my greatest joys.

Happy 18th birthday, my Willow. There’s so much ahead of you, and I’m so lucky to be your mom. You’ll always be my Bean 💜

Help me wish Willow a happy 18th birthday! Leave her a little birthday love in the comments.

Runway friends make the best travel friends.

Where childhood meets the runway. 💜
Growing Pains explores the beautiful, complicated space between the girl you were and the person you are becoming.
Custom-developed prints, vintage lace, velvet ribbons, hand-finished embroidery and vegan leather come together in a collection that feels nostalgic, rebellious and intentionally undone.
We are now casting the young models who will bring this story to life in New York City on February 11, 2027.

There is something special about watching the girls who have been part of Willow Bean continue to grow into their own stories.
Recording artist and singer-songwriter Brooklyn Dylan stepped into our Black Swan world during NYFW, wearing one of our embroidered swan looks for this Times Square editorial.
This September, our worlds come together again as Brooklyn returns to NYFW, this time taking the stage and performing live for our sister brand, Studio 8.
Brooklyn’s newest single, “Ghost,” is out now, and while Instagram won’t let us use it here, we hope you’ll go give it a listen. 🖤
From wearing Willow Bean in Times Square to bringing her own music to our runway, we can’t wait to have Brooklyn back with us in New York.

Emy Newburg brought confidence, poise, and a beautifully quiet strength to the Willow Bean Studio runway. Against the New York City skyline, she transformed her Black Swan look into a moment that felt both fierce and timeless.
Since stepping onto our runway, Emy’s journey has continued across dance, modeling, and editorial, including features in Teen Trendsetters Magazine and British Vogue.
As we prepare to tell our next story at NYFW, we are looking back at the remarkable young women who helped bring Black Swan to life.

EN POINTE
Four weeks from today, Willow Bean returns to New York Fashion Week.
A collection inspired by the discipline, delicacy and quiet strength of ballet. Softness against structure. Romance against restraint. And a little bit of Willow Bean magic woven through it all.
For our first glimpse into the world of En Pointe, it only felt right to begin with Willow.
