Minimalist design is central the new location on Great Jones Street that includes a library bar, outdoor terrace and other features.
from 2013 to 2016, it sold about 10,000 units annually and is “now catching up to that” through a different revenue structure, he said. With 12 to 14 specialty store doors, KZ_K Studio’s wholesale business accounts for about 30 percent of its overall sales. The remaining 70 percent consists of direct-to-client services such as in-studio sales and stylist collaborations.
As for what the most challenging aspect of business is currently, Zmarlak said, “There are so many. From a creative design perspective, the fashion business and manufacturing high-end ready-to-wear is incredibly labor intensive. Very few people understand that when one single garment is made, it can go through 30, 40 or 50 pairs of hands from the beginning of the fabric [selection] process to the finished garment that we ship to a client.
The company does pop-up shops, trunk shows, special appearances and private events through its network of stylist collaborators. Returning to in-store events to try to help support sales in June of 2020 was “a game changer,” since shipping products was an issue for many at that point due to Covid, Zmarlak said. Reached at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Wednesday afternoon, she was en route to a multi-day visit at the specialty store Tootsie’s.
The KZ_K Studio collection retails from $495 for a reversible silk, charmeuse camisole to a $2,895 leather parka with $800 to $2,000 being the key price range. Outerwear is the leading category, especially convertible and reversible styles, followed by pants, blouses and dresses, Zmarlak said. Washable leathers and shearlings are also offered. KZ_K Studio also has created a capsule collection of made-to-order handbags with 1 Atelier.
