“The name Gaia comes from the goddess of Mother Earth and the daughter of chaos, the most creative force there is in my opinion,” relayed Larian in a piece published on Anupam Dabral’s website. “And every great brand is cult-like, uniting like-minded people in their aesthetic ideals. Women and nature are endlessly inspiring, so there is a lot in the name.”

But though wholly artistic, the brand also aims to be approachable and functional, creating items that are Objet d’Art whilst still having utility. “In the market, it was always hard for me to find artful pieces that felt special and wearable, with an affordable price point,” explained Larian. “I love the idea of keeping special pieces forever.”

True to her word, Larian’s accessories, and more specifically her bags, stand on their own and have a very sculptural quality about them without being overt. The brand’s design ethos is to make things stand out and turn heads. “Pieces should be perfectly imperfect and need to be nuanced to be beautiful, like nature, no two things are ever the same,” reads Cult Gaia’s website. Scroll down to see some pieces from their recent collection.

“We developed a simple method we learned at the university in a course called Basic Design,” they told This Is Colossal. “The first and only law is to maintain the minimum number of lines necessary so that the building can still be identified. Once the lines in the design could no longer be erased, we reached the destination.”

They’re currently raising funds for this project on Indiegogo, where you can preorder your favorite design and support them. Until now, they gathered more than 10 times the amount they wanted and the orders just keep coming. If you’re a fellow architecture lover or know one, you know where the next gift is coming from.

“Nodaleto is the result of what I am, the aesthetic I like, what I was dreaming of wearing as a shoe addict,” said co-founder Julia Toledano Toledano in an interview with Flaunt. “My family heritage inspired the brand itself in a global aspect. Andalusia inspired the color of the brand, Tangerine, which I used in patent leather in my collection… between red and orange, love and happiness. For the minimalism aspect of the shoes, I like quality fabrics and architectural lines.”

“I’ve wanted to start a shoe brand for a long time,” she recalled. “Actually, it was my childhood dream! During my childhood, I was designing for myself only and didn’t go to a fashion school.”

But it took her some time to realize her dream. After initially going to law school in Paris and receiving a master’s in fashion journalism, she realized her true passion was shoes. “So I start doing some research of what I wanted… the name, the aesthetic, the line, etc…” she said. “And then decided to go to London College of Fashion to take classes on technical shoe aspects. I went to Italy to visit factories, then came back to Paris and started one year ago– the beginning of everything.”

Fuelled by her love for multi-artistic mediums, Nodaleto emerges as a creative label that goes beyond shoes, a gentle exuberance inspired by the iconography and architecture of the 70s. Well worth following on Instagram, if nothing else:

“I’m really passionate about creating fine jewelry options for modern women, that feel approachable for everyday wear, but special enough to invest in knowing they will have it for years to come,” she explained in an interview with Flaunt.

“I’ve always loved the Art Deco era of jewelry, it was so architectural and linear with the use of such unusual shapes of stones and diamonds, and I design in a very linear way, so I have loved creating a more modern take on Deco,” she added. “On the other hand I’ve also been fascinated by ancient civilizations for as long as I can remember, so being able to create ancient-looking coins, in solid gold was always an ambition of mine, and so was combing those two worlds, Ancient and Deco, and that’s really the voice and foundation of our collection.”

Her jewelry brand, AZLEE, is dedicated to creating long-lasting, quality pieces. Made of 18k gold and platinum, AZLEE’s pieces are made locally in Los Angeles by master craftsman. The enamel is hand-painted by a local artist and the jewelers are a top craftsman in their field.

Something to add to your collection, perhaps. Take a look at some highlights from AZLEE’s Instagram page:

Each Tuza piece is handmade and assembled in the Tuza Mexico City workshop. Every season, Tuza donates a portion of proceeds to female-led organizations, as Atala treats her brand as a part of the female empowerment movement.

“Tuza has become one of the most sustainable and ethical brands of its kind by maintaining a made to order model in its workshop in the heart of Mexico City,” explains their website. “As an outcome, they’ve been able to create jobs for raisins and support local suppliers.”

Launched in 2018 and based in NYC, Alterita is known for its fun, beachy designs, and fresh feminine themes. Her newest collection features glass charms handmade locally by artist Mariko Makino at Brooklyn Glass studio.

“I was like, ‘What would I want to wear on the beach?’ I want to be wearing lemons. I want a headband,” she said, in regards to her latest collection. And so – a fruit-based jewelry collection was born. And with lemon necklaces and cherry earrings, naturally, it was all the rage.

Take a look at some of her eye-popping designs in the gallery below. Would you dare rock any of her accessories?

Because who wouldn’t want to rock an ironic T-Shirt or a pair of socks with the phrase “Big Business” printed in all caps? “Working Girls isn’t just one type of craft or product. The brand as a whole is a concept,” explained Maynard in an interview with the Urban Outfitters blog.

“The things that inspire me have always remained the same, but my style has definitely evolved over the years,” she added. “I’ve done anything from printmaking to quilting to weaving… There will always be an undertone of satire, and female-forward thinking, because that is who I am. My focus now is mainly design and installation, but I love teaching myself new skills, so who knows what the next thing will be.”
