After selling her denim empire for $835 million, style icon Kym Gold is bringing her aesthetic to the home with the launch of a luxury line of entertaining, décor and petware called Style Union Home. The line of ceramics, lovingly designed and fancifully named by Gold herself, is handmade in Los Angeles.
Style Union Home is the birth of yet another style statement by Gold, whose headline contribution to the fashion world includes True Religion. Since True Religion, Gold has been flipping homes. For this venture, she brought together the warm feeling of her mother’s Sunday night dinners, the elegance of monochromatics with hits of color and spot-gloss. Classic shapes are used and she added in a bit of her signature rebelliousness to hatch Style Union Home.
Style Union Home features two flagship collections: Malibu and Legacy, consisting of plates, bowls, tumblers, service pieces, pitchers, vases, accents and a line of expressive and customizable bowls for pets. Each piece is substantial in weight with thoughtfully-hewn details, fired either raw with texture or a trace of glaze. Some pieces, such as the ceramic basket, feature braided soft suede handles or twisted, extruded ceramic knots with braided suede tails. Each piece is named with a hilarious and/or heartwarming story, including the Nikki bowl, named after her mother and the dog bowls after her German Shepherd, Poe, and Otto, the baby Portuguese Water Dog.
“Growing up in Los Angeles and Malibu in particular, I am partial to free-flowing looks and colors in nature,” Gold said. “I was inspired by a pottery throwing session my son gifted me, which turned into a deep desire to recreate and share pieces from my past. My entrepreneurial drive kicked into gear and it quickly emerged into a line of things I use in my home. The line is timeless, chic and brings cohesion to a home. The kitchen, décor and pet ware is the start; I envision growing Style Union Home into my legacy.”
