“The necklace is a pink ribbon, a burst of happiness inspired by a nostalgic youth, the joy of tasting pure sugar, accentuated with our signature Bow, which is a reminder, ‘You are the gift,’” So, who founded her eponymous brand in Manhattan’s Diamond District in 1995, told Women’s Wear Daily.”

My inspiration for the PARSONS collection struck during the pandemic. Uprooted from my daily routine, I felt trapped, literally, and metaphorically, secluded from my friends and family and a sense of normalcy. I needed a project.
So, I rediscovered my old school supplies, mementos I assumed had been lost to time. Nostalgia took over as I uncovered countless joyful works of art on watercolor paper, oil, and acrylics on canvas, all scattered throughout the space.
As I browsed my portfolio, I relived the many inspiring projects that were assigned during my time at Parsons School of Design. At 18, I had a youthful misconception that art school was going to be an easy road. Instead, it challenged me to my core; I cherished the experience because it taught me to expand my thought process. At Parsons, I honed my artistic eye, developed critical skills, and a way of tackling creative obstacles that set me up for my work today as a jewelry designer.
Looking back all those years ago to the first time I held a paintbrush, I felt free and powerful. The seemingly small act of color selection was a commitment; each choice I made gave me a rush of adrenaline.
Art is about vulnerability. It’s a true expression of your most authentic self. There is something about art that’s infinite to me, it’s like trying to grab air.
“Paint your dream,” the tagline of the Parsons collection, is a call to embrace your creativity and celebrate the artist within.
- ❤️ Mimi ❤️
