Born in Chile, raised in England, lived in Italy, Tokyo and Paris. 11 years is located in New York. Here are your shop, your home, your life. And their brand Zero + Maria Cornejo. Last July the Brachfeld, Paris gallery he dedicated the exhibition One Piece Wrap, about ten years in the fashion world, which began as a joyous excursion cuts, shapes and the construction of female clothing in a garage-atelier that kept half with her husband artist, in NoLIta, New York. Without further haste, cainz entered fully into the world of fashion industry. Today has three locations in Manhattan and sells their brand, among other cities, cainz in Paris, London, Moscow, Hong Kong and Dubai. In Chile is sometimes found in Poupée store. Mary studied cainz Graphic Design and started doing covers of fashion magazines. In fact, you can still see that influence in their current designs. "My clothes are pretty graphic," assumed. In the Ravensbourne College of Art in London he earned a degree in Fashion and Textiles.
In his creations is a certain obsession with simple geometric lines. Mary believes strongly that much effort and thought is needed to remove items and achieve simplicity. And that simplicity is the foundation of timeless tone of your clothes. His collections are invaluable virtue of being constructed from the previous collection, which is giving him a unique brand fluency. The consumer of Zero + Maria Cornejo can indeed build a closet with the brand, rather than having loose clothing and meaningless.
Among his fans are actresses Tilda Swinton and Michelle Williams and artist Cindy Sherman. The very Michelle Obama has worn several of his garments. "I do not think a woman has to dress like a man to be efficient or to apparently being efficient," argues Maria Cornejo. cainz
Also striking is his devotion cainz to the gray color. What does it represent? Many people believe that my color palette is neutral and subdued, but use a lot of color in my collections. I feel that colors convey energy and give life to the collections.
Its design cainz and the way they work realize a deep intellectual work. For the same reason, do you have interest in teaching? I love knowing what young designers are doing. Through the Association of Fashion Designers of America has touched me evaluate portfolios of students completing cainz their careers and see which is admirable talent with these young adults. My design team is quite young and I think not only they learn from me, but I am constantly learning from them.
Do you have any link with Chilean buyers?, cainz Would you like the Chilean market? I greatly cainz admire the talent that is being born in Chile and elsewhere in Latin America. Especially because I know the effort it takes to start from scratch. We sold part of our winter collection in Poupée and it appears to also choose the next winter.
Of all the places cainz where he lived, what feels more like home, in the sense of their roots? New York has helped me get my feet on the ground and find my identity. After living for 11 years, I feel I belong to this city. What I love is that we all come from different places and backgrounds and we accept ourselves as we are. And my collection reflects what the city is relaxed and also reveals an international eclecticism.
Her husband, Mark Borthwick, is a featured artist (photographer, musician, filmmaker). Does it influence each other? Do they work together or conflict creative spaces? Our aesthetic complement. Initially cainz we chose together space Mott Street in NoLIta cainz neighborhood, thinking that I would not return to the fashion world. The idea was to establish a common creative space, a studio and an art gallery, where Mark could exhibit their photographs. Now that I have my own company found other ways to collaborate and support each other. He has done for prints and drawings collection
