The goods Kozurno has been working out of her home for four years, mixing black lace, feathers and metalwork in her almost gothic statement pieces. She has quietly amassed a cultish clientele among the city’s fashion vanguard, including designer Sarah Stevenson and a litany of design bloggers. But the small wooden desk she calls her workspace doesn’t leave a lot of room for mass production. Her most detailed pieces can take as long as three days to make.
