Jasmin Larian Hekmat is Founder & Designer of Cult Gaia. Since launching the LA-based brand in 2012, Jasmin has grown Cult Gaia from its coveted Ark Bag with a waitlist of thousands into a complete collection featuring ready to wear, accessories, footwear, and swim. Inspired by femininity, nature, and architecture the cornerstone of Cult Gaia has always been about making things that are conversation starters, that are as much object d’art as they are accessory.

Before founding Cult Gaia, Jasmin attended the Fashion Institute of Technology where she studied Fashion Design and International Marketing while interning for notables like Narciso Rodriguez and Jason Wu. She was awarded Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2017 and resides in Los Angeles, where her inspiration is still derived. 

Jasmin has been a CFDA Member since 2019.
