The Interview —

Lyndie Benson, Founder and Designer of BLEUSALT

Founder and Designer of BLEUSALT

A native Angeleno born and raised, Lyndie moved to Malibu 25 years ago with her husband at the time, Kenny G, to raise her two boys. Lyndie and Kenny met in 1983 when he wrote “Songbird” for her after their first meeting. After a life on the road, Lyndie picked up a camera to fulfill her creativity. Aside from photographing Kenny’s album covers, Lyndie held several shows and solo photography exhibitions. Although being the other half of a busy team and raising her children consumed most of her time, she began to document her Malibu lifestyle. BLUESALT came to Lyndie from a friend who asked her to design a few pieces for her company. Not a designer by trade and only designing what she wants to wear herself in her life in Malibu, a collection started to take shape. As a single mother having successfully raised her children, it was finally time to put her energy into her work and use her talent and passion to the fullest. BLEUSALT is this first attempt, and we think it is music to our eyes. Follow BLEUSALT on Instagram and Facebook
