Karolina Zmarlak is one of NYC’s hottest up-and-coming designers. In just a few short seasons she has won the Gen Art’s Styles 2005 styles award in the Eveningwear Category, has lead design direction on various projects in New York, Delhi, Paris and London, and has presented her ready-to-wear collection to influencers including Fern Mallis, Amanda Hearst, and Alexis Bryan Morgan. Zmarlak is truly a genius in the way she manipulates the fabrics she works with. Her pieces are versatile — each piece is reversible, designed to bind and tighten, and wrap or cocoon over the body. Literally you could wear any one of the designer’s pieces in an endless array of ways. With so many of us looking to tighten our spending, Zmarlak’s pieces strike me as a great investment (you can buy one piece, wear it three different ways and no one will know you’re wearing the same outfit multiple times!). Check-out Karolina Zmarlak‘s collection on her website or at Takashimaya, Debut, and Eva or stop by Eva on October 29 when the designner previews her S/S 2010 collection. Invite after the jump!
