Jenny Gerst-Pfanestiel Jenny was featured in Style Chicago and named one of their “Favorites.” Her hat was auctioned off for Joliet Hospice and won the hat contest.
Her collection is shown at Accessoireé, a show that highlights top Chicago accessory designers by the Apparel Industry Board. Jenny’s hats were at the Chicago Country Music and Art Festival in Grant Park, Uncommon Threads in St. Charles and the Hinsdale Embroiders Guild.
Her new children’s line has received accolades for its vintage theme. Clients include Cirque du Soleil, a Grammy dress for Margaret Cho, Hubbard Street Dance and Outing Riley.

Some of her materials date back to the early 1900’s. Jenny donates 10 percent of proceeds from public events to animal rescue charities.
“Whenever I make a new hat I wear it out in public to see and hear the reaction it gets. For me it is a confirmation that I am doing the right thing.”
