Our Mission

Wastewater from dyeing textiles is driving coral to extinction. Without coral, many delicate ocean ecosystems will collapse, affecting local economies and communities. The oceans need us now.

FOUNDER AND DESIGNER

Amy Godsey

I grew up in a small town outside Dallas, Texas spending my childhood in two worlds: playing classical piano in recital halls and disappearing into the woods behind my house collecting butterflies, tracing patterns in flowers, and getting lost in nature’s endless design.

What connected these worlds was fashion. I'd spend hours drawing ads from fashion magazines, captivated by the clothes, the models, the drama. By the time I was a teenager, I knew I didn’t just want to wear fashion, I wanted to design it.

I studied Fashion Design in college, moved to Italy, then New York, last Los Angeles. For over thirteen years, I worked as a Technical Designer for contemporary and luxury brands obsessing over fit, construction, the details that separate good from exceptional. I learned what it takes to make clothes that truly last.

I also saw everything wrong with the industry: the waste, the exploitation, the race to make things faster and cheaper. I spent years contributing to a system I didn't believe in.

Crono Zee exists because I knew there had to be another way.

Crono Zee is a Los Angeles based sustainable fashion brand rooted in intentional design, small-batch production, and responsible materials.

Every piece is made in small batches through fair trade production, working only with manufacturers who uphold fair wages and humane working conditions. Materials are thoughtfully sourced, and each garment is constructed to last - the result of years spent perfecting fit and construction. When something sells out, it's gone - no overproduction, no landfill contributions.

The designs are rooted in nature. The fractals of coral reefs, the geometry of plants, the colors I've collected in my mind filtered through the 70’s energy I’ve always loved: psychedelic, free-spirited, wear what makes you feel alive fashion.

I still play piano and synthesizers. Music and fashion have always been intertwined for me. Both are ways of expressing what words can’t. Crono Zee is where those worlds converge.

This isn't about being perfect. It's about being intentional.

Clothes that make you feel confident.

Production that respects people and planet.

Design that means something.

Thanks for being here.

What does it mean?

Crono Zee

Crono = Originally inspired by Chrono in the Kurt Vonnegut book Sirens of Titan

It also means "TIME"

Zee = Germanic word that means "SEA"

TIME - SEA

TIME TO FOCUS ON THE SEA

Textile dyeing contributes to 20% of global industrial water pollution, using trillions of liters of water and releasing toxic chemicals, severely impacting ecosystems and health.

Textile dyeing still remains one of the most polluting industries on the planet – degrading air, water, and soil in areas of production.  Did you know that 72 toxic chemicals have been identified in fresh water systems coming solely from textile dyeing? 

• The wastewater from textile plants is classified as the most polluting of all the industrial sectors. 

This impacts every living being, including you!
