ROYAL FIGURE

Author and philanthropist Mahsa Noble is charting a new, ever-stylish path.

These are exciting times for Miss Mahsa Noble. She is awaiting the publication of her first novel, Raya (Archway Publishing), and the casting of the film that already is connected to it. On top of that, she donates her time to various nonprofits that are devoted to defending the rights of disadvantaged children. And on top of that, she walks the walk as a fashion veteran of more than a decade, who has worked with numerous world-renowned designers in the industry and a graduate of Isituto Maragoni, a fashion design school in Milan. The backstory: “I consider myself to be a citizen of the world. I grew up in Shiraz, Iran, Cyprus and then Boston. From age six until 15, I was forced to cover. I respect women who cover by choice, but to be forced was suffocating for me as a child.” Noble style: “My style is expressive, bold and feminine. You know what I am feeling inside by what I am wearing. I would say my style is transparent, what I wear reflects how I feel inside.” Noble spirit: “I believe in owning your life. Be proud of where you come from, where you stand and where you want to go.”

“I live with love. love everything that life offers me, I learn lessons from everything.”
