Marial Maher, an Allied Styles favorite, has been working her creative fingers to the bone curating project-after-project for her eight week artist retreat House of Creatives where fashion, music, and photography have merged into several special endeavours.

Maher a 20-something-year-old rock n roll enthusiast with a knack for pressing the boundaries of imagination has been living in a luxurious mid western pad located in the beautiful state of Pennslyvania. The Brooklyn native began the project in September, inviting a plethora of musicians, photographers and aspiring-whatevers to come out and to simply, create. 

Popular fashion epicenter of cool and popculture influencer Karmaloop, has involved it’s newest division Karmaloop TV along side director Casey RAnderson  , with the House of Creatives project by filming the entire experience, which is being developed into a webseries.

If you have not had the opportunity to see what Maher and the rest of the HOC crew has been up to we encourage you to visit the artist…
