Karoline Mazzarella

Karoline Mazzarella is a Canadian fashion designer specializing in menswear. Her designs are inspired by the fear and danger associated with extreme sports and dangerous creatures—an influence drawn from her sports-oriented childhood and fascination with the scientific unknown. Karoline twists the feeling of fear into something fun and playful through her colourful, crafty, and sporty aesthetic.

She holds a Master of Arts in Menswear from the University of Westminster in London, England. For her MA graduate collection, she received a leather sponsorship from AForce London, who provided materials and machinery to support the production of her leather pieces.

Karoline also earned a Bachelor of Design in Fashion Design with a minor in French from Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University), graduating with distinction.

She brings a wealth of industry knowledge and vibrant creative energy to LaSalle College Vancouver.
