Zipper dress

NEW YORK, Sep 24, 2008 / FW/ — A dress made of zippers; it was a natural choice for YKK, the world’s largest zipper company and also a manufacturer of other fastening products.

Seen at the tents in Bryant Park during the recently concluded New York Fashion Week, the zipper dress is more than just a curiosity. It is wearable and highly covetable.

‘It’s a bit heavier than your normal cocktail dress, but not too heavy to impair movement,’ the model told FashionWindows.

As for the dress, it was designed by Autumn Lin. Done in two shades of white and gray, it is very comfortable to wear, according to the model.

The initials YKK stood for Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushiki-kaisha was founded in 1934 by Tadao Yoshida. Since its inception, YKK had been in the forefront of innovations in its field. So, it is not surprising that YKK claims to be the first zipper company to promote environmental protection measures.

YKK developed a line of environmentally friendly zippers, following the company’s philosophy “The Cycle of Goodness” which means that one prospers when the person renders benefit to others.
