A Marine veteran, a wife, a mother, an artist and a designer, Maria Maloof has never let one identity define her, and House of Maloof is proof that a life filled with perspectives yields the most compelling creative work.
The path of Maria Maloof has been anything but conventional. A proud veteran, she served on active duty in the United States Marine Corps during the First Gulf War before pursuing her lifelong passions for art, fashion and creative expression. A devoted wife and mother, she’s embraced creativity from an early age. While raising her family and dedicating more than two decades to mentorship, philanthropy and community leadership, she quietly cultivated the vision that would become House of Maloof, a luxury lifestyle brand inspired by her original artwork and distinguished by artistry and timeless design. “Pursuing big dreams is demanding, and trying to stay grounded is not something I always get right,” she says. “What helps me regain my balance is an active prayer life, my faith, and appreciating the people and moments that matter most.”
Her artistic journey has included acting, event design and fine art, while her lifelong love of fashion and design has remained constant. Her expressive abstract paintings, created through Maria Maloof Fine Art, became the artistic foundation of House of Maloof. Each collection begins with a curated series of original abstract paintings transformed into limited-edition couture wearable art creations, with plans to expand into luxury accessories and curated home collections.
In 2026, she debuted her inaugural Spring/Summercollection, From Depth To Light, at Distrito Moda in Cali, Colombia, featuring elegant daywear, refined tailoring, cocktail attire, and dramatic evening gowns inspired by her abstract artwork. The international journey of House of Maloof continues with a Fall/Winter presentation at Mediterranean Fashion Week in Valencia, Spain, followed by a luxury resort collection in Cartagena, Colombia, later this year.
Beyond fashion, she serves on the Board of Directors of The 305 Hive, is a Founding Circle Member of Miami Women Who Rock, and has long supported charitable organizations and community initiatives benefiting women, children, healthcare, education and the arts. Among them are St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the American Task Force for Lebanon, Voices For Children, and Baptist Health Foundation. “Excellence is developed through action, not hesitation,” she says. “Start where you are, remain teachable, and trust that growth will come as you move forward.”; HouseOfMaloof.com.
