Paul Zumbo is a New York-based designer who brings a distinct blend of elegance, wit, and modern sensuality to everything he creates — from runway collections to luxurious living spaces.

For over two decades, Paul shaped the look of men’s fashion at renowned houses like Michael Kors and Calvin Klein. At Kors, he launched the men’s line and served as Vice President of Design for 15 years, crafting pieces known for their sharp tailoring and understated allure. His designs have walked the world’s runways and filled the racks of top luxury retailers.

In 2024, Paul turned his creative eye to interiors with the launch of ZUMBO, a collection of made-to-order decorative pillows crafted in New York City. Each piece draws directly from his fashion roots, featuring thoughtful details like unexpected zippers, jewelry chains, sculptural forms, and precise tailoring. The result is more than just décor — it’s a way to bring the drama and sophistication of the runway into the home, infusing spaces with glamour, striking silhouettes, rich color, and an alluring edge.

Beyond his professional work, Paul continues to explore creativity through couture experiments, theatrical costumes, and conceptual art projects — pursuits that keep his perspective daring and his hands always shaping something new. Whether dressing a person, a room, or an idea, Paul’s work is about creating something luxuriously unexpected: minimalist yet bold, impeccably crafted, and designed to make you look twice.
