What's in a Zipper?

On this day 132 years ago, the inventor of the zipper was born. His name was Gideon Sunback from Sweden who migrated to the U.S in 1905. It wasn't until he was working for a company that specialized in the C-curity fastener, which proved unsuccessful because it often separated, that his genius kicked in to full swing. It was in 1914 that the metal zipper that we have come so accustomed to was invented. Sure this is a second nature piece to our everyday wardrobes but could you imagine life without it? So today, as you get dressed, remember this little fashion history tid bit as you mosey throughout your fierce day! Smoochies!
