Welcome to Studio Noto World - my next chapter

Hi, I’m Gloria Noto. I’m an artist, creative director, shop owner, and the founder of NOTO Botanics—one of the first few clean, queer, gender-inclusive skincare brands that started in my kitchen and ended up in Vogue, The Cut, Interview, GQ, W Magazine, Dazed, and on the vanities of people who have really great bathrooms. (I was also the founder and editor in chief of a magazine called The Work Magazine back in the 2010’s but thats another story- IYKYK).

Studio Noto World is what comes next. Still working out what it is exactly.

This is a very real and personal place where I get to be more than a brand founder, where I get to share what it looks like to transition at 40—creatively, personally, aesthetically—in public. It’s part essay series, part moodboard, part experiment of what it means to want more, change direction, still making it feel cool for you. As well as part digital concept store, until It becomes irl.

This is what a free sub gets you:
Personal essays that deep dive the topics shared once a month

And if you upgrade to paid:
→ Intimate essays that actually say something—about style, reinvention, transitions, identity, and doing your next thing your own way
→ Studio insights: early previews of what I’m designing, making, and quietly releasing
→ Exclusive interviews, IRL events and gatherings, playlists, honest recommendations, and downloads you won’t find anywhere else
→ First access to Studio Noto World’s next phase—products, collaborations, experiences, and everything I don’t post publicly
