The zipper appears where it shouldn't, and it's really fashionable

Zippers were originally just a clothing tool that helped people put on clothes or tighten pockets. However, the ambition of "it" goes far beyond that. In the evolution of clothing, zippers have gradually become a decorative element, challenging the traditional fashion trend and bursting out with unlimited creative inspiration.

Zippers have a long history, originally coming from the boots people wore. In 1893, an American engineer named Judson developed a "sliding tightening device" and obtained a patent. This was the original prototype of the zipper.

In 1912, Sundback, an employee of the Judson Company, changed each tooth on the original zipper into a convex and concave shape to make it less likely to get stuck and less likely to become detached and crack. He also gave it a new name that is still used today. ——zipper.

With the efforts of generations, the modern simple and convenient zipper gradually took shape and was promoted around the world, becoming one of the top ten inventions in modern times that facilitated people's lives.

Nowadays, the role of zippers is no longer limited to putting on and taking off basic clothing. Designers use their wild imagination to bring "beautiful" possibilities to zippers.

First of all, the most common one is the double-head zipper. This kind of design has been used by various brands to perfection. In the Diesel 2022 autumn ready-to-wear show, the combination of double-ended zipper and denim fabric is a highlight.

In the past two years, zipper lapel sweaters have exploded in the hands of fashion icons. Through the freely adjustable zipper, the neckline size can be changed unlimitedly to modify the shoulder lines and optimize the head-to-shoulder ratio. This sweater + Polo shirt combination exudes an innate retro temperament, chic and casual.

The earliest recorded zippers were used on boots and are still used today. In the past few years, the brand Guidi became an instant hit on the Internet with its eye-catching zipper design. This unique leather boot with the zipper design as the focus is always indispensable in the shoe cabinet.

In the summer of 2022, Balenciaga launched a new Neo Cagole series based on the brand's Classic City motorcycle bag.
