I recently purchased this delightful black number but in a size larger than I would normally take since they were out in my size. Having worn it last night for a few hours with slight alterations to the strap lengths, it looks like I’ll have to take them to the tailors after all since they do tend to bag around the chest area which makes me feel a tad uncomfortable. I’ve also been looking for more of these exposed zipper dresses and at the moment, I am rather taken with these two by Renewal @ Urban Outfitters.
These pieces by Renewal are all limited edition and made from vintage, deadstock and surplus materials sourced from rag mills internationally. I really cannot decide which one to spend £55 on.
Zips aren’t just only edgy with dresses, of course they look great with shoes too, namely boots. Zip-front ankle boots, you are on my mind too. This pair by Botkier ($625 @ Shopbop.com) is just simply good enough.
They are a great alternative to those fantastic ones we saw on Alexander Wang’s runway show for Fall.
And is it so wrong for me to yearn for one of these sheepskin gilets from Topshop which looks like a great offsetting piece for exposed zips? Its not usually my style but I can imagine how great it would look with the edginess of the exposed zipper.
Zip-up or ship out!
*P.s. I apologise for my disappearance for the past few days, there’s just been way too much going on in my head lately and I just had to take a break*
Loove zippers! xD I think it gives a funky edge to a would-be plain piece.
Exposed zippers… yum. I tried that gillet on, it’s so soft, I’d just sit and stroke it all day (I wrote myself but that sounded weird…) bit of an ouch factor at what £75? On the plus side the sheep (who are from Mongolia!) aren’t bred for their skins, so the leather is a by product =)
the zipper front ankle boots are the bomb
didn’t think of them until i saw this post
thanks!
Love it.
wang is so fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want every one of his pieces in my closet
that would be a dream come true
