Head Turner

SWINDLE

Asli Filinta has been busy since we last saw her. Catching the eye of Vogue Nippon. Dressing Barbie in gumballs. Popping up in Tokyo alongside Undercover and Maison Martin Margiela (no big deal). But our dearest mad hatter hasn’t let her fame go to her head.

Be the first to correctly answer all three questions about her roots, and you’ll win her peacock feather-trimmed Velvet Snow fedora ($445).

Q: In what city was Filinta born?

Q: What did she study in college?

Q: At what now-shuttered NYC boutique did she work?

E-mail your answers to swindle@dailycandy.com with “Asli” in the subject line.
