Caroline Zimbalist's FW25 Collection: Sustainable Fashion Meets Nature's Beauty
Caroline Zimbalist, a rising star in sustainable fashion, finds inspiration in nature and unexpected places like restaurant plating. Her FW25 collection integrates bio embellishments onto ready-to-wear garments, creating prints and motifs with bioplastic. Zimbalist enjoys crafting sculptural designs from biomaterials, which offer artistic versatility compared to synthetic materials.
Zimbalist began exploring biomaterials in 2018 during her senior year at Parsons. She finds challenges in mixing innovative textures and materials with traditional garments, such as maintaining correct mixture ratios and preventing fragility or heaviness. However, unexpected results and accidents in her creative process have led to new techniques and jewelry designs.
The process of creating sculptural art pieces differs from wearable pieces, requiring careful consideration of mixture variations and durability. Color and texture play a significant role in Zimbalist's art, evoking emotions and expressing her fantasy world. One of her favorite creations is the Chappell Roan's Garden of Eden dress made with bioplastics.
Zimbalist hopes her work influences the fashion industry's relationship with sustainable materials. By presenting biomaterials as couture or art, she aims to add to the conversation and promote a more sustainable future in fashion.
