Alison Chemla is the Creative Director and Designer of Alison Lou, a fine jewelry brand based in New York City inspired by the deceptive simplicity of modern communication and beyond. Her introductory collection Emoticore remains a thoughtful and cheeky commentary on the expression of feelings from the banal to the intimate through the language of emoticons.
Since Alison’s first collection, which stands as her signature today, the line has evolved to include collections based on themes from Casino to Secret Garden, while always remaining playful in its approach. Alison Lou’s FW '17 collection, Mama Mia, was dreamed up after a summer trip to Italy. The collection consists of designs inspired by everyone's favorite pastas - farfalle, penne, and spaghetti to name a few. Most recently, Alison Lou created a collection called CeLOUbrations, which is a modern twist on vintage charms and medallions marking memorable moments in ones’ life. As always, the collection is colorful; filled with a wide range of bright gemstones and enamel.
Since it’s birth, Alison Lou has garnered press from both the editorial end including Vogue, WWD, InStyle, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle and celebrities like Blake Lively, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Amy Adams. Alison continues to approach Alison Lou with a sense of humor and an appreciation for luxury as her brand expands.
