When we visited Maria Cornejo at her archive in the Navy Yards, it was a day of reflection. She was preparing for the archive sale. The date was September 11. “Today is a double-whammy for me,” she said as she stood over her desk, spread with binders full of lookbooks and editorials going back to her earliest collections for Zero, early sketches and technical drawings, and photos of her first store down on Mott Street in NoLita. Among these memories are those of dropping her daughter off to school shortly before the twin towers were hit, alongside memories of the Chilean coup from which her family fled in 1973.

The 62-year-old designer has seen a lot over the years. There’s a kind resiliency and assuredness that she emanates, though it’s a quiet confidence: one that perhaps informs her subtle, sophisticated design language that attracts women of the same ilk. Cindy Sherman is an avid collector, with over 200 pieces in her collection; Michelle Obama frequently dressed in Zero; Chloë Sevigny, Cat Power, and Tilda Swinton are longtime fans of her work. “They made everybody feel like a part of a tribe of intelligent women, creative women,” Cornejo says of these clients.

It’s a tribe that she has built slowly and steadily with Zero for almost 30 years. But it’s one that’s been built under-the-radar, silently, largely with word-of-mouth, ‘IYKYK’ credibility. The clothes don’t scream for attention. They’re measured, considered, made to complement and coexist with the person wearing the garment, not obscure them.

Luckily, Cornejo has patience. That much is obvious when stepping into her archive space, with floor to ceiling racks filled with garments from the very beginning, mostly pieces that she held on to herself over the years. She’s been at this for a while now, with a career in fashion that goes back to the 1980s London scene.

Collectively, Clare Waight Keller and Maria Cornejo have over two decades of experience in the fashion industry. Waight Keller’s impressive career includes roles at Givenchy, Chloé and Gucci — and today, she serves as creative director at Uniqlo. Cornejo’s New York–based label, founded nearly three decades ago, counts Michelle Obama and Christy Turlington Burns among its most devoted fans.

From deeply entrenched gender biases to the fear of returning to work after giving birth, women face a number of systemic barriers to reaching senior leadership positions in the fashion industry, insiders say. Today, some women designers have found success launching their own labels — and when they do land leadership roles at major houses, often make it a priority to create opportunities for other women, which remain few and far between.

At the VOICES 10th anniversary, Waight Keller and Cornejo speak with senior correspondent Sheena Butler-Young about what it’s like to work in an industry where women are the muses and chief customers, but the top commercial and creative roles are dominated by men.

We are so proud to announce that in this, our 25th Anniversary year, our founder and Creative Director – Maria Cornejo – will be honored with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s CFDA Fashion Awards on November 6th.

This award is especially meaningful as Maria has always considered her work to have lifetime relevance, and our new 25 Year collection is a testament to that idea – anchored by re-editions of some of the iconic pieces that have exemplified Maria’s approach from 1998 to today.

Thank you to the for recognizing Maria's independent point of view, and the unique body of work she has created. We can't wait to celebrate!

And thank you to our amazing community, the brilliant and talented Zero team, our incredible retail partners, and everyone who has supported us in ways big and small over the past 25 years ❤️
