the mavens
The original design mavens and show producers
A group of women brought together by their passion for design, entrepreneurial spirit, and their desire to share it with the world by helping new designers along the way. In conjunction with the Fashion Institute of Technology's Enterprise Center, local Manhattan boutiques, and individual home shows, the Design Mavens produce several events annually. The blueprint of a Design Mavens event is a social shopping gathering, always free of charge, bringing New York's newest line of designers to New York's savviest shoppers.

Playful designs handcrafted by native NYC gal, Zoë Louise Schneider. In addition to unique creations using vintage prints and trims, Zoë, a published historian, incorporates bygone NYC into many of her garments, making many one of a kind and limited edition pieces of wearable NYC history. Her creations are jolly and sweet. Her philosophy is that kids should be cute, not cutesy. All Zoë Lou designs are printed and stitched on comfy, superior quality American made (and sweatshop free) cotton garments, and beautifully packaged in organza gift bags. Adult sizes and custom orders available. Recently featured in Earnshaws magazine.
