NY Fashion Week: Zero + Maria Cornejo Spring / Summer 2010

If only every woman owned at least one Zero dress, imagine how many hours they would save getting ready and fussing with their looks.

Runway Review Excerpt: While they do have that studied, arty and downtown edge, Zero + Maria Cornejo pieces are so well articulated, so neutral, absolutely anyone can wear them, and the strongest strength that comes from this achievement is how easy they are to wear. If only every woman owned at least one Zero dress, imagine how many hours they would save getting ready and fussing with their looks.

If you aren’t already familiar with the subtle genius of Zero & Maria Cornejo you ought to be, because you’ve been missing out on some the easiest conceptually sophisticated, attainable pieces out there created by a woman in a male dominated industry.

And while it’s always confusing to me as to why she her label sits in Barney’s youth-oriented Co-Op, it does make some sense because compared to other strong labels that have such an individual yet wearable ease, other labels with something to say, her prices hover around what many houses price their secondary lines at.

While they do have that studied, arty and downtown edge, Cornejo’s pieces are so well articulated, so neutral, absolutely anyone can wear them, and the strongest strength that comes from this achievement is how easy they are to wear. Her clothes are interesting without out having to sacrifice good taste and be caught up in a world wind of over-design, these are intelligent clothes without pretension.

For Spring/Summer 2010 she kept to her loose silhouette and peppered it with slightly off-kilter draping, contrasting bandage straps and the requisite drop-crotch bottom along with some easy options for men. Now if only every woman owned at least one Zero dress, imagine how many hours they would save getting ready and fussing with their looks. – Naveed Hussain
