Kym 's Rise

Kym Gold is the visionary entrepreneur behind some of the most influential fashion and lifestyle brands of the last two decades. She co-founded the iconic denim label True Religion in 2002, revolutionizing the industry with premium fits, bold stitching, and a fresh approach to luxury denim. Under her creative leadership, the brand skyrocketed to global success, going public in 2005 and eventually selling for $800M. After shaping the denim world, Kym turned her attention to interiors and launched dumae, a luxury home décor brand rooted in sustainability, storytelling, and exquisite craftsmanship. Inspired by her mother’s love of timeless design, dumae reflects Kym’s passion for curating elegant spaces with meaning. Her entrepreneurial spirit also led her to found Babakul, a fashion brand celebrating chic, functional style for every woman—especially moms doing it all. Whether in fashion or interiors, Kym has always built brands with soul, style, and substance.

From creating True Religion’s signature back pocket stitch to leading large-scale home design projects in elite Los Angeles neighborhoods, Kym fuses creativity with entrepreneurial fire. She’s launched multiple successful brands, built high-performing teams, and scaled operations from concept to global presence. Her brands have been the subject of documentaries and covered by top fashion publications. With every venture, she’s brought authenticity, innovation, and a laser-sharp instinct for what consumers crave. She is a champion of sustainability, prioritizing ethical production and materials across her brands, and is frequently sought out for her insights on branding, design, and leadership.

Personal Superpower

At her core, Kym is a mentor, maker, and mother. She leads with warmth and clarity, guided by her deep-rooted belief that luxury is less about status and more about story. Her life and work are built on connection—whether that’s to family, heritage, or the artisans she collaborates with through dumae. She believes in surrounding herself with people she loves and trusts, creating businesses that reflect her values and relationships. Kym’s intuitive leadership style empowers those around her, and her devotion to craftsmanship, authenticity, and family makes every space she touches feel like home.

What Drives Kym

Kym is driven by the desire to create beauty with purpose—to elevate the everyday through design that tells a story and products that honor their makers. Her mission is to redefine luxury through sustainability, culture, and heart. From mentoring women entrepreneurs to hand-selecting materials for dumae’s latest collection, every move she makes is rooted in her belief that real luxury lies in meaning, not excess. Through every chapter of her career, Kym has stayed committed to one truth: that design can—and should—be both soulful and successful.
