Founded in 1998 by Chilean-born designer Maria Cornejo, Zero + Maria Cornejo began as a personal atelier in New York’s Nolita neighborhood. Rooted in Cornejo’s desire to reconnect with garment construction, the brand is celebrated for its modern, wearable luxury for real women. The design process is centered on geometric forms, with many garments cut from a single piece of fabric and using minimal seams to create architectural, cocoon-like silhouettes that are both sophisticated and easy to wear. Signature pieces include sculptural dresses, draped jumpsuits, and softly tailored outerwear, often realized in original prints and luxurious, sustainable textiles.
