Colby Mugrabi is a writer, artist, and art collector based in New York. In 2017, she founded Minnie Muse, a blog that explores the intersection of art, fashion, design, and architecture. The name was inspired by the fact that, as a young girl, Mugrabi dreamed of being John Galliano’s muse. As of summer 2020, it was where you could go to read about artist Salvador Dalí’s brief foray into swimwear, or an interview with designer Dries Van Noten’s Airedale Terrier. During the pandemic, Mugrabi decided to pause publishing. Instead, to pass the time while quarantining in her Manhattan apartment, she took up painting, and has since sold her work at the Webster, the Gagosian bookstore, and on her personal Instagram. She was also pregnant with her first child. Below, we spoke about what it means for Mugrabi to Keep It Super Simple.
