The creative partner of New York-based sustainable accessories label BOND Hardware, Mariah Pershadsingh (27) wears multiple hats and juggles a long-nurtured passion for dance and choreography. Her diverse Indian and Native American descent reflects in her creative practice as well as personal expression. She pursued dance and theatre at the University of California-San Diego before moving to the Big Apple and turning her internship at BOND Hardware to a creative partnership with founder and designer Dana Hurwitz. We asked her to share her fashion must-haves, skincare faves, artists she adores, and more.

Right now, I’ve been living in every version of the Raf Simons x Calvin Klein metal square- toe heeled boots.
I miss the freedom of having a car; the Tesla Cybertruck is on my wish list.
