Mondo Mondo

LA-based Natasha Ghosn, born into a family of artists and trained in Mexico, began her illustrious line Mondo Mondo in 2012. While it was originally launched as a T-shirt company, Mondo Mondo moved quickly into the realm of discriminatingly crafted jewelry and perfume. Meaning ‘World’ in Italian, Mondo distinctly intones thoughts of universality, history, and permanence. Simple, yet with unmistakable regality, the jewelry forged by Mondo Mondo feels as though it belongs in the mystical era that never really was. Depicting Greek deities, textured designs, and embedded gems of becoming and vibrant colors, the various bijouterie reflect a magical history and influence. A balance is struck between the ancient and the new, for while the pieces boast magnificence, they never stray into the realm of garish. The scents bottled by Mondo Mondo, as with the jewelry, capture a timelessness, focusing on an olfactory experience based in emotional response. Both the scents and the jewelry of Mondo Mondo are endowed with an endless fervor, one that has planted itself in the ancient and reaches all through the eternal.
