| About You: | Zulema Griffin began her career in fashion as a Ford model. Working with renowned photographers such as Peter Lindberg, Steven Klein, Marc Baptiste and Andrew Dosumu, 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. 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. Zulema became a finalist on Bravo’s Project Runway Season 2 thus beginning her transition back into the fashion world. 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 for fashion week. Zulema has garnered press from Style.com, New York Times, O Magazine, MSNBC, Fader.com, Black Voices, The Fashion Spot.com, and Video Fashion Weekly. |
