07 Aug Texture Tuesday – Zippers

Zip zip zip! Zippers are part of our lives everyday, but recently trends have gone above and beyond the usual. Zippers have now been added to home decor and every aspect of the fashion world. Check out those containers made of different colored zippers featured above. We love that idea! Zippers used to be hidden on all garments, but now the style is to show your zipper and even add a bold colored one to make it stand out.

Who would have thought that a simple zipper can be used in so many artistic ways and create such a huge fashion trend.  Designers all over the world are proving that it can.  As simple as it is, a zipper can add edge and sexiness to anything. Simple dresses, shoes, clutches, jackets are spruced up with exposed zippers, which transforms them in dramatic statement pieces.

I couldn’t believe my eyes, when I was shopping last week. As I was going through racks of clothing at different stores and boutiques, I found dresses, skirts, leggings, handbags and even shoes are all dressed up with the modern detailing. I personally love it and am searching for a  jazzed up – zipper LBD right now. XO PG
