This past summer I attended the Randolph Street Market with my daughter Zoe, we by fate
stopped at Mashallah Ghouleh's booth. It was easy to stop, as we were immediately drawn in by her alluring jewelry collection.
The Designer Mashallah Ghouleh |
Mashallah's jewelry has a very natural but edgy influence to it. It was not only a jewelry line that I immediately wanted to open my wallet to, but also a line that I wanted in the store. Her refined and clean designs, mixed with natural and recycled materials makes her collection modern and very of the moment.
I wanted to interview Mashallah and let all our customers know a little bit more about this designer. Stop by to see it as it would make the perfect holiday gift this season or the finishing accessory for your outfit without breaking the budget.
MG: It
all started 4 years ago from a girls night that I had planned at my
home. It was a wine, cheese and jewelry making kind of night: to make
things more interesting. It was a super fun night and many of us were
creating interesting things until the wee hours of the morning.
MG: Simplicity, sustainability, and the metaphysical properties found in gemstones.
LTC: What is your favorite fall trend this year?
MG: I was so happy to see the statement white blouse on many runways. For it is one of my wardrobe staples.
LTC: What designers are you inspired by? Any favorite jewelry designers?
MG: I
am a lover of literally ALL things from food to fashion and nature to
architecture. When I am seeking inspiration for upcoming seasons I refer
to my memory bank to help guide me in fusing all elements. Once I have a
vision of what I want to create that I know my supporters will love I
start a mood board to narrow down and focus on what I feel would be
received best.
LTC: On your web site you say you travel to get inspiration for your jewelry
line. What
has been your favorite place to travel and the inspiration
that has come from it?
MG: With
no hesitation that place will always be Paris. Experiencing many
designers from all mediums create without regard to playing it safe has
allowed me to find strength in my unique design abilities. Primarily
making me aware that it is okay to take chances. After all, there is always
next season!
LTC: What do you see in the future for Mashallah jewelry?
MG: With
my sole dedication to the success of MASHALLAH it is my mission to make
my accessories attainable and recognizable worldwide.
