Kate Cusack

"I love the "aha" moment when someone realizes that there is more to my design than they initially expected. It surprises people to discover what my jewelry is made of—and always brings a smile of discovery."

Kate Cusack's fascination with zippers comes from her general love of transforming ordinary materials into wearable objects of art. Because the metal zipper teeth are attached to a fabric edge, it is a material both rigid and flexible. Cusack enjoys the contrast between the whimsical shapes that she creates and the harshness of the metal teeth.

Traditionally, a zipper is a device designed simply to function. It is a fastener and not a feature. Cusack's transformation of zippers into jewelry reminds the wearer of the power of imagination and the joy of discovering a view of something that would otherwise be overlooked.

Cusack earned her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and her MFA in costume design for theater from the Yale School of Drama. All of Cusack's experiences—from costume design to the creation of wearable art—culminate in the Zipper Jewelry. All of her work relates to the body, combining theatrical influences and her love for the transformation of unusual materials.

Collectible and wearable

I own an early piece by this artist and appreciate her sense of design, using a common material to produce creative pieces of wearable art.

Disappointing

I was disappointed with the necklace because the strands don't separate but clump together.
It doesn't look like the photo in the catalogue. Is there a way to separate the strands? It's
very pretty but don't know how to wear it properly. What to do?

Highly Recommend

I'm always on the search for quirky/edgey jewelry. This necklace fit the bill! It's a great conversation starter, yet versatile and clever. I use it as an accessory for both casual and dressier occasions. I recommend this piece without hesitation.

I have only one recommendation to Kate - a stronger magnet should be used in the clasp. I found the one used is too easily dislodged.
