Gigi’s Creative Journey Takes a European Turn with Noubikko’s Endorsement

LOS ANGELES, September 30, 2026 — Geressa “Gigi” Lopez Thomason, the Los Angeles–based designer behind GK Thomason, is planning a European jewelry exhibition under the Noubikko brand endorsement. The presentation will mark a new chapter in her development as a designer, introducing a wider audience to her individual creations.

For readers in Prague and across the Czech Republic, we're announcing a creative partnership built around a shared appreciation for individuality, thoughtful design, and enduring quality. European exhibition locations and dates, including any possible Czech presentation, have yet to be announced.

Gigi’s work begins with the desire to turn an idea into something that can be worn and enjoyed. Her jewelry reflects an interest in pieces with their own character—accessories that become part of the wearer’s personal expression.

The theme “Fit for the Princess, Designed for the Queen” captures the intended mood of GK Thomason: graceful, confident and expressive. It evokes the pleasure of choosing jewelry that feels special, whether worn for a celebration or to give an everyday outfit a distinctive finish.

Her interest in creating began early. Drawing as a child led to experiments with her mother’s dresses and, eventually, an exploration of clothing, leather bags, interiors and jewelry. Those experiences gave her different ways to consider proportion, materials and the relationship between an object and the person using it.

Today, jewelry is her principal creative focus. Pearls and natural elements, including dried flowers and leaves, are among the materials she has explored. Personal experiences, people, places and cultures also inform her ideas.

Her approach combines that imagination with attention to the finished piece. Originality matters, but so do elegance, durability and the care taken to bring the elements together.

A wider audience for a personal design language

The Noubikko endorsement is intended to support GK Thomason’s international introduction while preserving Gigi’s identity as the creator behind the brand.

That combination supports an approach to fashion in which artistic expression and commercial understanding develop together. A designer needs room to create, alongside a clear understanding of how to present the work, reach suitable audiences and sustain its quality.

For Gigi, the planned European exhibition offers an opportunity to communicate her design language through the jewelry itself. Viewing a piece in person allows audiences to appreciate its proportions, textures and finishing, adding depth to the story conveyed through photographs.

The presentation is intended to build recognition for the GK Thomason name, with Gigi’s authorship and individual aesthetic at the center.

Design with lasting appeal

A commitment to durability provides another connection between Gigi’s work and Noubikko’s broader creative philosophy.

Noubikko’s developing collection places emphasis on construction and lasting usefulness. Although jewelry serves a different purpose, the underlying expectation remains relevant: a design should be supported by workmanship that makes it satisfying to use over time.

For GK Thomason, this means considering comfort, and the ambition is to create pieces that wearers choose with pleasure and continue to value as part of their wardrobe.

As arrangements for the European exhibition develop, Gigi is preparing to share a more visible expression of the ideas that have sustained her interest in design.

Her next chapter carries a personal ambition: to let more people discover her work, recognize its individuality and find a creation that feels connected to their own style.
