Chloe Dzubilo

Chloe Dzubilo (December 5, 1960 – February 18, 2011) was an American artist, musician, and transgender activist. She was born in Connecticut.

Dzubilo was a fixture of the 1980s and 1990s New York City club and art scene: she briefly worked at Studio 54, was an editor at the East Village Eye, worked with Blacklips Performance Cult at the Pyramid Club, and she was the lead singer and songwriter of the punk band Transisters, who performed at CBGB's. Filmmaker Kembra Pfahler said of Dzubilo's band, "Transisters was one of the only bands that addressed issues around AIDS and had the courage to sing about their anger. And to alchemically transform all of the hatred and stigma around the disease itself." Dzubilo's artwork took many forms, and she often worked in ink on paper as her medium.

Chloe studied art at Parsons School of Design and received an associate degree in Gender Studies from the City College of New York in 1999.

She became an influence of fashion designers including Marc Jacobs and Patricia Field. Provided by Wikipedia
