Inspired by two best friends’ childhood memories, Zara Terez and Amanda Schabes’ long-standing friendship is the vessel for some of their brand’s most popular designs. Topics like unicorns that Terez and Schabes bonded over as children in the ’90s and that now inspire the Zara Terez line of stretch leggings, skirts, shorts, dresses, hoodies and more. Known for bold, whimsical graphic prints, 85 percent of the patterns featured in the line are unique to the brand.

In true New Yorker spirit, the ladies who grew up in Long Island’s Atlantic Beach and South Shore towns are determined to keep all elements of manufacturing—from design to material production—in the Big Apple. “We want to be a sustainable company—not one that is here today and gone tomorrow,” Terez explains.
