Maria Cornejo Talks About Print

· November 26, 2008 · 0 Comments

"For me the collection has actually expanded and as it expands I gain confidence. For the first time, the best-selling thing in the collection was a print. We have never been able to sell print. People always just said to me "Oh Maria, we buy everything in black from you, we buy you for shape, we buy you for volume, we buy you for ideas, we buy Marni for print." So as the collection has gotten bigger and the buyers have gotten broader, it has given me the confidence to be more playful in a way."

 

-Maria Cornejo in Issue No 24 of The Journal 

This past weekend we picked up a copy of The Journal and sat down with a cup of coffee to read about designer Maria Cornejo. Cornejo was an exile from Pinochet's Chile who grew up and made her name in London back in the 1980's. From there she moved to New York and after attempting to keep a low profile with her tiny Nolita boutique she became, deservedly, a high profile designer all over again.
