100 Women We Love 2006

Meet the class of 2006

Zulema Griffin

Before New York native Griffin launched into fame this year on Project Runway, she spent her days as a fashion model for the Ford modeling agency, and her nights as a hostess in a New York City restaurant. Her training at Parson’s School of Design paid off when a patron took note of her self-designed outfit and hired her as a costume designer for several small films. The rest, as they say, is history. But for all her accomplishments in fashion, Griffin said her proudest moment was “Getting married. I met a wonderful woman online, believe it or not, and we went down to City Hall and got a domestic partnership.”
