Bee 23: Bing Bang for Urban Outfitters

Another designer guest appearance alert!

Last year whilst styling an editorial, I was on the hunt for edgy (especially pyramid studded) jewelry. One of the designers that I discovered to be on the forefront of the punk jewelry revival was Bing Bang, and I became an instant fan.

I love their combination of irreverence with uptown quality. Precious gold pyramid stud earrings and layered chain necklaces (well before everyone else jumped on the bandwagon). I also recall that they had dainty earrings of subversive objects.

To reach a new customer, without compromising the high quality that is associated with their brand, Bing Bang will be starting a lower-priced line called Bee 23 that will be sold at Urban Outfitters this fall.

Whereas I am excited to see what they come up with, I fear they may be a little too late, as there are already so many cheap knock-offs of their style....watch this space!
