ABOUT US
CORNEJO is a women's clothing brand founded by designer Liza Cornejo in March 2025 and based in Los Angeles. We make elevated essentials in small batches: wide-leg trousers, cut-out blazers, midi skirts and silk tops, sold only at cornejobrand.com.
Meet the Founder
I've been in love with fashion since before I knew what to do with it.
Growing up, I was obsessed with Vogue. I had pages taped all over my bedroom walls. I saw clothing as more than something you wore. It had the power to completely change how you felt about yourself. That feeling never left me.
I went on to build a career in fashion and entertainment, working as a shoe designer, spending nearly a decade as a celebrity assistant, and eventually launching my own shoe brand. I launched just before COVID hit, a time when nobody was buying heels. That experience taught me more than I could have imagined.
When I was ready to start again, CORNEJO was born out of a personal need. I couldn't find what I wanted in my own wardrobe: high-quality, uniquely designed pieces that were fairly priced. Pieces that were not only beautiful, but functional. Clothes that made me feel like I could walk into any room and own it. So I made them myself.
I'm a creator at heart, not a salesperson. Putting myself out there and talking loudly about what I've built has never come naturally to me. I'm actually quite shy and would much rather let the clothes do the talking. But I believe in what I'm building too much to stay quiet.
For the woman who expects more
CORNEJO is for the woman who does it all and is tired of choosing between style and comfort, quality and affordability, standing out and feeling like herself.
HOW WE MAKE IT
Every piece starts with fit, then fabric: structured wool blends, cupro and silk, chosen to hold their shape and feel good on skin. We pay attention to the small details that make a big difference. We line our trousers for comfort, add working pockets and hide the closures, so getting dressed is easy.
Our newest pieces are made in small batches in Los Angeles. Sizes run XS to L, and every product page lists exact measurements and the model's height, so you can choose with confidence.
CORNEJO is still very small, and I read every message that comes in. If you have questions, feedback or suggestions, I would love to hear from you at concierge@cornejobrand.com.
