“I think Gracylu pieces are like the cherry on top for an extra splash of “girly”!” Julie Martin, ZozoBugBaby
Based in Salem, Oregon, ZozoBugBaby is clothing. Room. Photography. Kids in color. They are also long time clients of Gracylu Originals. Here’s a look behind the passion of Zozo designer and founder, Julie Martin.
How did you get started in designing children’s clothes? Did photography come first?
Well..my background is in art and I made my living painting murals before I had my two girls. After the birth of my second daughter, I just got the idea to pour those creative juices into making fun clothing for them! I did study photography in college, but got a renewed passion for it after I started Zozo.
You are all about color. What inspires your creations?
I truly get inspired by everything. My eye is always drawn to dynamic color combinations that I see out and about every day. I also love playing with different textures and graphic elements. My true passion is mixed media art and that’s what I try to create with the clothing line!
When did you meet Tristian and discover Gracylu Originals?
Oh my goodness. I think I have known Tristian now for a few years? I remember seeing her work in Angie Monson’s photographs and I fell in love!
How do her headpieces enhance your photo shoots?
I love that Gracylu pieces have the same whimsy that I infuse into my pieces. Her designs are also really feminine with an element of fantasy. I think her pieces are like the cherry on top for an extra splash of “girly”!
What does your ideal photo shoot look like?
I would LOVE one day to organize a huge Zozo shoot like the “Hollywood” edition of Vanity Fair. Maybe 20 models..all draped together like a Renaissance painting! Gracylu Originals would be perfect for that!
Sounds incredible! Thanks, Julie, for joining us on the blog today and sharing your colorful world!

With GracyLove,
For a while now many of you have asked about an open shopping cart. Up until this point I have only offered a cart every few weeks or so because I am so busy with my family I didn’t want my business to interfere with family time. But with Harrison in Kinder and Gracylu in preschool 3 days a week and Atticus getting around quite well in his walker, I do have a little more free time! I also have some special people helping me out
