History Of The Zipper

I just read an article that the man that invented the zipper originally named it the Clasp Locker back in 1851, Whitcomb got credit for being the "Inventor of the Zipper, The Chicago inventor's "Clasp Locker" was a complicated hook-and-eye shoe fastener. Together with businessman Colonel Lewis Walker, Whitcomb launched the Universal Fastener Company to manufacture the new device. The clasp locker debuted at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and was met with little commercial success.

t was a Swedish-born electrical engineer named Gideon Sundback whose work helped make the zipper the hit it is today. Originally hired to work for the Universal Fastener Company, his design skills and a marriage to the plant-manager's daughter Elvira Aronson led to a position as head designer at Universal. In his position, he improved the far from perfect "Judson C-curity Fastener." And when Sundback's wife died in 1911, the grieving husband busied himself at the design table and by December of 1913, came up with what would become the modern zipper and now todays zippers are everywhere from, jackets to bags to jeans.

Oscars 2017

My Favorite look of the 2017 oscar's was Halle Berry, dressed in Atelier Versace Couture and Forever mark Diamonds shining and i love the color of the dress with the color of her skin and hair, the dress doesn't look too special on top but at the bottom it gets its shine,There were many trends on this red carpet, we seen a lot of black, cream and shiny bright things like Dakota Johnson in Gucci or Jessica Biel in Kaufman Franco and Tiffany & Co. jewelry. It's important for designers to dress the celebrities so the clothes can be showed off to people around the world on tv to show it's luxury and high end.

last night's Grammy Fashion

Last night was the Grammy's and I was shock to see everyone's outfits because half of them looked like they tried to dress themselves without there stylist and either looked way over dressed but in a ugly not a good looking way, or the other people just looked very basic and didn't look like they were ready to walk down the red carpet. Shout out to the few the looked super stunning and ready to flex on the red carpet like, Jennifer Lopez, Halsey, Camila Cabello and Rick Ross.

 My favorite look of the night though would have to go to Rihanna, with the dress she had on looked amazing wearing orange and black which you didn't see many people in those colors at all nor wear them so well. I did not like Don Cheadle outfit at all, he looked so casual, looking like he put that together to go get coffee not walk down the red carpet, I think the men that attend these award shows need to be more fashion forward like most the women  or do something different like CeeLo Green.  

Raf Simons

When it comes to Raf he is the god at this fashion stuff, and an inspiration to everyone, I love his style and look because it looks so clean and classic but it's never boring it always looks like something new or never seen before, his new Fall/Winter look with Calvin Klein looks really good and before that he was the head designer of Christian Dior.

McCall Pattern company and home sewing

today I am writing about McCalls pattern company and home sewing. This was formed in 1863. In Manhattan's skyscraper there is a pattern making room, where there are about 80 employees, they create about 700 patterns each year for the company. These patterns have been very popular lately. The brand has pretty cute clothes that one can make. Personally I've never bought my own pattern before, so I don't have a lot of experience, but from what I've heard the brand is good. It allows for you to make your own garments and doesn't allow fast fashion. Fast fashion hurts the environment as well as other peoples lives. For a coming up project we were supposed to bring our own patterns and fabric to make anything we wanted. I bought a romper McCalls pattern, and floral pattern fabric. I am really exited and can't wait to make it. But that is all I have for today. Thank you for reading!
