BEDFORD STREET LAUNDRY

Founder and designer, Jessica Yuen is a Queens-raised native New Yorker. She studied at Stuyvesant High School before pursuing fashion design at Parsons School of Design. She interned extensively at Donna Karan, Teen Vogue, and Mischen; and spent her junior year abroad at Parsons Paris. However, it was the internship at CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist Ohne Titel that she credits for giving her a real glimpse at building a brand where originality and craftsmanship comes first.
After Parsons, Jessica began to explore the world of styling at New York Times T Magazine and Albright Fashion Library as well as interning for stylist Alistair McKimm. Within a year, she began producing custom pieces for several musicians including Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In 2009, Jessica’s family sold BEDFORD STREET LAUNDRY; the West Village landmark that funded her design education. It became the brand’s namesake and a lasting tribute to the company’s modest beginnings. The Fall 2010 capsule collection marked the launch of a brand that not only focuses on fresh shapes and unexpected details but also honesty and a good dose of humor.
Jessica is a genius fashion designer! I love ALL her pieces. They are creative, intricate, and beautiful. Talent like Jessica's doesn't come very often.
