Hello Glowery Cosmetics

The founder of skincare brand Hello Glowery, Anna Kolasinski, is facing backlash for allegedly copying the designs of renowned Danish glass artist Helle Mardahl.

Hello Glowery, founded by Anna Kolasinski, is a skincare brand that promotes playful, modern aesthetics paired with clean, effective skincare products.

Critics argue that the packaging for Hello Glowery bears a striking resemblance to Mardahl’s distinctive artistic style, which is celebrated for its vibrant colours and playful, organic shapes.

Kolasinski has defended her designs, attributing the inspiration to her daughter’s doodles. However, the accusation has sparked debate on social media, with many users calling out the similarities and questioning the originality of the brand’s approach.

Helle Mardahl is a celebrated Danish artist and designer known for her unique, hand-crafted glassware. Her work is instantly recognisable for its candy-like, organic forms and bold pastel colours. Inspired by the combination of art and function, her pieces often resemble whimsical sculptures, combining beauty with practicality.
