In 1996 Maria and her family moved to New York. She currently lives with her husband, photographer Mark Borthwick, and their two children in Brooklyn. Her daughter, Bibi Cornejo Borthwick, followed in her father's footsteps and is a photographer in her own right. Maria continues to design from her Bleecker street atelier. CareerIn 1998 she transformed a raw space in Nolita into an atelier and store known as Zero. From the beginning, Maria established an independent point of view and developed new ways of cutting based on the simplest geometric forms. The simplicity, ease and freedom in her clothing have become her calling card and established her as an innovative force in womenswear. Warm, approachable, modern and clean are all words that have been used to describe Maria Cornejo's work for Zero + Maria Cornejo. Her approach has gained her a loyal following and high praise from clients like Michelle Obama, Tilda Swinton, Christy Turlington and Cindy Sherman.[4] It has been said of her work - "In Maria Cornejo's hands, minimalism is not a bland word ... her clothes have a sleek sophistication and always a sense of surprise." HonorsMaria Cornejo was honored as the Fashion Prize winner of the 2006 Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards after being selected as a finalist in 2005.[3] Maria has proudly been a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) since 2003 and an original member of the CFDA Sustainability Committee.
