Editor's Notes
- You probably don't think much about zippers in your everyday life, but it's hard to imagine life without them. They zip up your clothing, your purses, your snazzy new laptop case, and just about anything that needs to be fastened easily. Have you ever thought of what life would be like without zippers,
- Many considered it 'unreliable' as it was prone to failure. More traditional closures were often thought more reliable and easier to insert. This means that many 1930's dresses are finished with press studs or buttons as shown here.Zips were often unreliable in the early days and so if a zip split open in a side seam underarm insertion it would provide the wearer with greater modesty when covered with the arm than a gaping back of a garment might.sonsCharles-Emile Hermes)
- the first time a zipper design was used in jewelry was at the suggestion of the Duchess of Windsor
