Celebrities have all been seen rocking one of the latest trends: exposed zippers. Solange, Beyonce, Brandy, Kim and Katy Perry are just a few that have been seen rocking the zipper look.
Designers have been adding zippers to pieces as not just an functioning item, but as an accessory. Versace was just one designers who featured the exposed zipper in their Spring 09 runway collection. I love the unzipped heart…
Solange, Beyonce and Brandy’s looks all included zippers as decorative embellishments. Solange’s 3.1 Phillip Lim Winding Zipper dress contained waves of zippers that wrapped around her body multiple times. This dress contained the most zippers of all the looks, but at first dress, I didn’t even realize it was zippers. I love it, as I do most Phillip Lim pieces.
Beyonce’s white sheath contained a closed zipper across the torso, with the zipper opening as it continued across the chest.
Brandy, though on-trend, looked awful in her pants with exposed zippers running down the full length of each leg of her ill-fitting pants.
Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry both wore exposed zippers that were also functional. Kim’s Jay Godfrey Jersey Tank Two Tier Dress contained a zipper through the torso up to her chest, which is also used to remove the dress. Katy Perry’s Elizabeth and James pants contained zippered pockets on the thigh.
