................ZIP. . . . . .

Zip

Unzip

Simple a part of daily life

Add more infomation*
To make sure that we all here understand my concept and the picture I have to add more information about this post.
This concept came out yesterday, when i look at my pant and it make me think that how nice we have zip to use, imagine how hard to get pant on and off without zip, especially in emergency time, such as really need to go (restroom). It is something that we really need to do everyday is zip up and zip down.

This pictures were taken when the pant put on the table.

(Requested those information by Mr. Caputo)

The zipper slowly became popular for children's clothing and men's trousers in the 1920s and 1930s. In the early 1930s the haute couture designer Elsa Schiaparelli featured zippers in her avant-garde gowns, helping it to become acceptable in women's clothing. In 1934, Tadao Yoshida founded a company called San-S Shokai in downtown Tokyo. Later, this company would change its name to YKK and become the world's largest manufacturer of zippers and fastening products. By World War II, the zipper had become widely used in Europe and North America, and after the war quickly spread through the rest of the world.

Clergy in the 1920s and 1930s described zippers as allowing one to take one's clothes off too quickly, thus hastening illicit sexual activity. Clothing with zippers was seen as inappropriate to be worn by women because of this fact, and was not fully adopted until the late 1950s

Wow! whoever thought that a zipper could be so beautiful??

I agree how we all sometime overlook a simple invention currently in our daily life. I have to say that my favorite fastener invention still has to be the Velcro...I think it's a little safer than zipper...esp. when you're doing that quick fastening motion (for guys esp.) :p I like that the inspiration for the idea of Velcro invention is from mother nature itself (remember how annoyed we all are with those sticky Burdock seed?). Great post!
