Photographed by Mona
Introducing our mega gem MARIA. A warm and loving being with an eye for the arts, and the beauty in this world. As a sought-after NYC based art consultant, she has her own platform that provides a multi-layered approach to experience the inner workings of the art world, and making it more accessible. With a unique sense of dressing herself, sharing her kindness, we truly are big admirers of Maria.
What do you love about fall? "The magical combination of sweaters and sunshine rays shining through the changing trees. Everything in fall feels yummier to me."
How do you feel wearing gemsun?
"I feel held and beautiful in a very easeful and natural sense.
What is something you are grateful for right now?
"Being surrounded by the most inspiring and vibrant women I could ever dream of."
What is your favorite piece of art you own?
"A collaged work on paper by the artist Isabella Ducrot."
Why did you want GEMSUN to be part of the Club Rococo?
"Club Rococo is a membership that offers a look into the inner-workings of the art world, a space I've inhabited for the past decade. As one part of its offerings, we've teamed up with arts and culture organizations to provide discounts and incentives for Club Rococo members. When I thought about incorporating an element of fashion - art in another form - there isn't another brand I'd go to than Gemsun. Gemsun treats each piece they create as special objects, with the same reverence akin to priceless artwork. There's so many parallels and crossovers between the art and artists I spend my days enthralled with and the mission of Gemsun."
How are you dressing this fall versus some years ago?
"Simplistically. I'm shopping less and falling back in love with pieces I already have while making better use of my boyfriend's closet."
What is your way of honoring our planet and its beauty?
"Leaning into my Taurus moon and constantly noticing and looking for new beauty on my daily walks."
GEM OR SUN? and why?
"Changes with the seasons, but right now holding onto all things Gem."
What made the outfit you styled yourself in so special?
"I love the different textures and ways you can play around with the items I picked."
