The Black Chandelier started with the incredible visionary Jared Gold who pioneered the first active fashion house in Salt Lake City, Utah, 2005-2008 with the partnership of entrepreneur and financier Richard Surber.* In 2010 Jared's previous assistant designer Rachael Domingo* took over creative direction of the Black Chandelier, and was soon joined fashion stylist Missy Scarbrough, graphic artist and designer Andrew Florin, and graphic designer Mason Fetzer.  
 
The Black Chandelier remains Utah's leading fashion house today, producing specialty men's and women's apparel lines and graphic based ready to wear. In addition to the clothing lines the Black Chandelier provides personal and commercial styling services, and couture dress making. 
 
Every Black Chandelier product is made for, by and because of art and the innate nature in all of us to create, transform and be a part of beauty. The Black Chandelier promotes individuals who share the desire to make the arts a priority. We are foremost a clothing company and always moving forward using all venues of art as inspiration.

Black Chandelier is committed responsible use of resources, compassion and education:

Producing specialty apparel requires the skills of many individuals and apparel manufacturing processes can be very taxing on the environment.  At Black Chandelier we are committed to manufacture our clothing responsibly using renewable resources and avoiding fabrics that cause permanent damage to the environment or harm to any animal. We believe in giving equal credit to all individuals involved in the process of creating our products. We work closely with our manufacturers to ensure fair working conditions and seek for ways to improve industry practices by setting the highest ethical standards. We believe in giving back and serving others through art. The Black Chandelier works directly with multiple non-profit humanitarian, environmental and animal welfare organizations to promote awareness, educate and raise funding to ensure the the well being of every creature, person and our planet.  Visit our blog for updated information on our activism, workshops and sales percentage donation opportunities.
