Caroline Zimbalist Blurs the Boundaries Between Art and Fashion

Releasing a behind-the-scenes documentary.

Artist Caroline Zimbalist specializes in creating otherworldly pieces, navigating the line between fashion and art. To provide insight into how she makes her ethereal designs, Zimbalist has just unveiled a short documentary.

Having graduated from Parsons with a BFA in fashion and studying painting, illustration, and sculpture since the age of four, Zimbalist possesses a truly unique array of knowledge and expertise, using her innate creativity and skills to envision unparalleled garments. The multi-hyphenate transforms bio-plastics into wearable works of art, spanning clothing and jewelry. Her collections offer casting curvy chrome as armor, alongside transparent candy-colored bio-plastic as structured bustiers. Elsewhere, architectural earrings, mirror deep sea coral, while linen is intertwined with green bio-plastic, evoking the image of a siren caught in seaweed. Zimbalist molds the biodegradable materials into three-dimensional shapes unlike anything else, showcasing the inventiveness of sustainable manufacturing.

Take a sneek peek at her documentary below and take a closer look at her designs in the gallery above.
