Designer Discovery: Kate Cusack

Kate Cusack makes costumes and wearable art. But her zipper jewelry really caught my eye.

Available in a muted rainbow of colors, Cusack shapes zippers into brooches, bracelets, and necklaces. Many pieces create a balance between a feminine shape of flowers or coils with the hard edge of brass or aluminum zipper teeth.

Cusack’s handmade pieces sell for $70 -$1000.

Buy zipper jewelry thru Etsy.
