Zulema Griffin backed handed the simple meaning of Mojo, but in fact gave merit to the true definition to the word. (Slang- power, luck, etc., as of magical or supernatural origin). Charm or amulet thought to have magic powers. We won’t debate whether Zulema graced Club Mojo’s with supernatural powers, but if her intention was to radiate a spell bounding Ore within a small limelight of approximately 100 people at Club Mojo’s, she did just that without holding anything back.
In sharing dialogue with Zulema, she energetically stated that she was content and pleased to be introducing some of the newer additions to the Zulema line at the Launch party as well as at this coming Sunday’s runway show.
Zulema Griffin began her career as a fashion model with the prestigious Ford Agency, gracing the pages of Bazaar, The Face, I.D., Essence, Interview, and Paper magazine. With her training at Parson's School of Design, and an affinity towards fashion, Zulema insisted upon making her own garments while working as a model and restaurant hostess in New York and was discovered by a film director looking for people to staff his costume department. Since her first feature in 2001, Zulema has worked with actors Adrian Grenier, Emily Deschanel, Douglas Smith, and Willie Garson just to name a few. In 2005, she appeared as a contestant on Season II of Bravo's PROJECT RUNWAY. Gaining the favor of the show's judges Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Diane Von Furstenburg, and Nina Garcia, Zulema's skill kept her in the competition until near the end. She won a design challenge which resulted in the production of a garment worn by World Champion skater Sacha Cohen. Zulema has continued her work as a costume designer as well as created her own collections, now available to boutiques. She will be showing her spring 2008 collection "Slave to the Rhythm: Fela's Wives" which made its debut during New York Fashion Week.
The primary events of Virginia Fashion Week will be held at the Contemporary Art Center Of Virginia, which is located in the Coastal City of Virginia Beach.
