Fresh off her stint at the Chicago Fashion Incubator, this

local girl knows a thing or two about high fashion. After working under fashion gods Zac Posen and Peter

Som, designer Ashley Zygmunt has incorporated her sense of comfort and ease into ZAMRIE. Designing a

collection of blouses where practicality and high style directly coexist, Ashley aims to satisfy the diverse

needs of every woman. “I love using lightweight fabrics that grace the body; a classic shape infused with

understated details transitions seamlessly from day to night.” A statement piece in itself, but effortlessly

personalize the look with your own accessories. Versatility is key when looking for comfort and high style-

this can all be found in a ZAMRIE blouse.

“I call it the easy-wear collection. You’re walking around in the morning think-ing ‘What should I wear?’ and you throw on a blouse with your closet staples. You don’t need accessories to make it look good.

“I’d rather have a closet where I can mix and match things. Whether it be short or long, you can add tights or

boots or wear it with heels. It is all about being diferent when you go to that

holiday party, and you can even wear the same shirt twice and style it different

ways.”

Born and raised in the Chicago-land area,

Ashley Zygmunt pursued her interest in

fashion at Purdue University in the Apparel

Design and Technology program. After

spending a summer studying fashion in Flor-

ence, Ashley then went on to become the

first student in her program to study abroad

at Hong Kong’s Polytechnic University. Next

on her list of priorities was an internship with

one of New York’s most prominent fashion

designers, Zac Posen. After graduating in

May 2008, Ashley continued to work in high

fashion with Peter Som, gaining experience

not only in design and production, but also

at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for two

consecutive years. Soon after, she decided

to take her talents to the corporate world

of design and freelanced for Li and Fung

USA in the Oxford collections division of the

company. There, Ashley helped with Norma

Kamali for Wal-Mart, Just My Size (a plus-

sized label), and White Stag Fast Fashion (a

high-style mass marketed label).

As one of six chosen designers of the Chi-

cago Fashion Incubator 2009, a promising

program sponsored by Macy’s and the City

of Chicago, Ashley has had the opportu-

nity to start her own label, ZAMRIE. Offering

a collection of beautifully tailored blouses,

Ashley aims to offer women the couture of

the runway in their everyday lives. ZAMRIE

tops can be mixed and matched, dressed

up or down, and shared by women of all

ages. Just as the smallest acts of kindness

don’t go unnoticed, the refined details in

our garments allow the ZAMRIE woman to

exude confidence in her timeless, yet in-

triguing wardrobe.
