The Ear Bar has FINALLY arrived Earrings have always been a big part of the KESTAN collection, and now you can comfortably and easily work on your ear stack in-store and online! We've got all of the KESTAN classics and added new styles like ear cuffs and other fun goodies! I've also worked on designing a wider range of styles, too! We still have our classic minimalist studs, but I've also expanded to include pieces that are larger and more sparkly . Everything is now available in-store or online!

It’s tradition that I celebrate my mother on #internationalwomensday. After all, who deserves more love than the women in our lives? This year, I’m getting personal and sharing a little more on just why the AN in KESTAN inspires me so much. At the age of 27, my mother pursued her American dream and opened a boutique along with my father. She raised my brother and myself all while running a business in a new country while speaking a new language. Mom has always believed in... chasing bigger and better dreams, and in turn has cheered me on in pursuit of my own dreams. This is a photo of my mother proudly standing inside of her very own business as a young business owner, mother, and wife. Thank you for showing me what perseverance, love, and optimism can build. I love you, mom See more

February is a short month, which can be a little stressful! Even just a few missing days can feel like less time to accomplish goals. This month, I've been taking time to remind myself that life is made of moments built upon each other. Even crossing off "little" things from my to do list like picking the color of a single zipper or finishing a sketch adds up to "big" wins in the future! How are you taking care of your moments this month?

Every wondered what's in a fashion designer's sketchbook? Or maybe what homework looked like at @parsonsschoolofdesign? I recently found a bunch of my old Parsons sketchbooks while cleaning out my place, and thought it would be fun to go through them and react to some of my old work. It was a lot of fun to see my growth as a designer (and to also cringe at some of my past stuff. Angsty Stephanie was...a character) https://youtu.be/vF5KKaiNhUs

Hi, Friends! Boy, what a year this has been! For me, the end of the year signals a time of reflection and gratitude. Whether you’ve met me in-store or virtually, thank you for your support of an independent designer. With the year coming to a close very soon (where does time go?), I wanted to share an update on what you can expect from myself and KESTAN in the future. 2020 has led me to rethink how I design and what a fashion brand looks like. Instead of two large season...al collections, you can look forward to smaller curated capsules spread out more frequently throughout the year. Don’t worry though: I’ll still be releasing thoughtfully designed pieces that hone in on the KESTAN spirit of timeless elegance with a twist! Lastly, I cannot express how thankful I am to everyone who has shown myself and my brand so much love during these unprecedented times. So many of you sent encouraging emails, continued to shop with us even as how you dressed changed, and even came in-store for socially-distanced visits. For that, I will always be grateful! I wish everyone a very fruitful, fulfilling, and joyful 2021. Let's do this!! See more
