Our Story

Pamela Fink and Isha Nelson share a remarkable history that spans over two decades as friends and creative partners in the fashion industry.

Pam, hailing from a family of pioneers in the Berkshires, witnessed her family establish Gatsbys, a boutique department store that served as the heart and soul of the Great Barrington community for three decades, starting in 1975. Pam’s upbringing immersed her in the world of fashion, leading her to launch the successful jewelry line, Good Charma. She also contributed her design expertise to the Gatsbys brand and now embarks on a new venture, co-creating Gangster Goddess.

At a mere 17 years old, Isha joined Pam and her family’s journey at Gatsbys, where her exceptional artistic talents caught Pam’s discerning eye. Isha proved to be a creative mastermind during this period. Subsequently, Isha ventured abroad to Italy and France to nurture her distinctive artistic style, evolving into a renowned artist and designer across various mediums and applications.

From the outset, Pam and Isha formed an unparalleled creative alliance, with Pam envisioning and Isha crafting their ideas. Throughout the years, they remained steadfast friends and supporters of each other’s individual journeys, navigating an exhilarating rollercoaster of experiences. Finally, destiny intervened, uniting Pam and Isha to collaboratively conceive Gangster Goddess—a fusion of comfort clothing and wearable art that embodies its name, exuding fierceness and invincibility through original designs and inspiring slogans.
