 Fashion Designer Zulema Griffin began her career in fashion as a Ford model. Working with renowned photographers such as Peter Lindberg, Steven Klein, Marc Baptiste and Nina Schultz, Zulema appeared in such publications as Bazaar, The Face, I.D., Essence, Interview and Paper. Although Zulema enjoyed a successful career as a model, she decided to opt for life behind the runway. In June of 2001, Zulema found herself successfully running the costume department of her first film, a feature titled Love Thy Neighbor, directed by Nick Gregory. The director of photography was impressed with Zulema’s ability and recommended her for the film titled The Beatle Fan, which screened at the Tribeca Film Festival. Since her first feature in 2001, Zulema has had the opportunity to work on exciting films with great talent, including Adrian Grenier, Rhea Perlman, Barbara Hershey, Emily Deschanel, Douglas Smith, Willie Garson, Peter Stromare, Erik Estrada, Victoria Rowell, and Gloria Ruben. In Spring 2008, Zulema presented her “Slave to the Rhythm” fashion show, the Fela Wives themed Spring ’08 collection, at New York Fashion Week. Met by raving reviews, Zulema followed up with a strong showing of her Fall 08 collection “Revelations” and pioneered the first internet launched fashion show on You Tube. With both collections garnering positive reviews, Zulema is eager to build a design and retail presence within the industry and is focusing on her namesake line. |
