DIRECTIONS BY
EXPOSED ZIPPER
CINCH-SPICIOUS
he Fall of 2017, lured
designers to keep the
zippers and closures exposed
and multiple. Seen as profligate
slashes over jackets, flys, and
turtlenecks or diagonally placed
all the way through, over dresses
and skirts, the zips seem to be the
new hardware-in-town.
A
s attention narrows down to
the waistline, belts serve as an
unmissable detail that emphasize
the coveted hour-glass silhouette.
Be it basic – big, wide and looped,
or conspicuous as laced-up,
corseted or belted, belts served as
the accessory to-go for all kinds of
collections.
Although the rose-gold trend
continues to enjoy a market of its
own, silver tinted zippers topped
with a circular ring closure, are
hands-down the best-seller in
this category as it makes its
way into the much hyped fast-
fashion pieces. Chunky, decorative buckles with or
without a dominant brooch were
seen aplenty, securing dresses,
gowns, jackets and coats, trousers
and skirts. Oversized versions
layered as easily over skin -
hugging pieces as they did over
boxy shapes translating the
cinch as a major trend for the
coming season.
