Exposed zippers are one of the biggest fashion trends of the season and for good reason. They're hot!
Zippers are no longer just a functional piece of hardware, they also serve as a stylish embellishment for clothing. Exposed zippers were first seen on the 2007 runways of Lanvin, Derek Lam and Chloé and they are still as, or even more, popular a year later.
I came across this black halter dress with exposed zipper front and while I think the dress looks cool from far, closer inspection reveals a texture that reminds me a lot of a papier mache craft project and that turns me off. Aside from this negative, however, I think the dress is quite cute and sexy!

Hmmm i think the idea/concept of zipper exposure is creative but gor some reason i'm not completely 'meshing' with this design :(
Maybe you're right in that its the fabric? Oooh, i don't know..... :P
that's sexy alright and the two tone stockings are just as cool.
i think it's perfect if you're looking for a sexy look. but, i like the zipper trend in less sexy items because i think an exposed zipper is already sexy on it's own. throwing it on a corset lacey dress makes it a little too vavavoom!
It's a cool idea. Executed correctly, it can look superb. I bet you could get a dress, and simply sew a full zipper on top of it, just for looks. Who cares if it's functional?
egh not at all cute lol...fabric looks way too cheap, and the benfit of center front zippers is that you are garunteed great fit. anywho, it is a trend i love and i actually have 3 pieces in my upcoming collections with exposed zippers..it will be hot!
This specific one isn't all that.
But the zippers thing does looks interesting.
hmm, I am not sure how I feel about the whole exposed zipper. In some looks I think it can be great, but others not so much.
I enjoy the look. I have a few pieces of clothing that shows off the zipper. And yes, this dress is wicked. I would be able to work with it.

Well, I'm not a fan of that dress, but I'm loving the exposed zippers.

I adore zippers. I don't know, there's something really raw and unprocessed about them that i like
This is tricky. I think its a little more on the trashy side, but if worn with the right accessories I think it could be cute.
Hi there!! I reckon if it's quality throughout, it can be a great trend!! Have a good weekend my dear!
Insane dress!
Whilst I do love the exposed zipper trend,
I am not quite sure about that dress.
Much love,

I like the zip detail but it doesnt really look like a corset to me?! Hmmm
The idea is original and cool, but I don't like the final effect. To me it's more like a cheap craft project...
I love exposed zippers. Not a fan of this dress :(
xoxo
i think its quite sexy, but im just a self conscious person so i`d be afraid of the zipper undo-ing
sexy, b/c i have one almost exactly like it by versace.
love the dress, why do a cheap diy when the dress is so cheap?
I like all the exposed hardware and zips.It reminds me of the eighties,punk and for some reason I think it works dependant on clever styling.
Darling you have been tagged,do check my latest posts for details.
kisses dear!

personally, i like it... i think depending on the shoes, hair, and bag it can be made to look cheap or very expensive. i lvoe the zipper in the front, just make sure no one pulls it down... that would be horrible!
i love the exposed zipper, and I'm kind of obsessed with the contrasting tights, but the dress, not so much. I think you're right about the fabric.
i like the idea - but i think it looks cheap
i love exposed zippers. anything that toughens up a garment, i'm all for.
I don't like that dress really...it may be the purple tights on one side...I do like zipper dresses. I have one that I actually plan on wearing tomorrow =)
I like the exposed zipper look A LOT but not so much that specific dress.
Zippers are no longer just a functional piece of hardware,
I really like the corset styling and the zipper down the middle, but I really can't agree with it being a halter top. It just makes it look a bit trashy to me.
it's a cool look but not for me!
yeah, i'm not a fan of the fabric too much. i do like the style of the dress, though. the exposed zipper...i'm not too sure in this context. however, i'm ok with the concept in general.
i love exposed zippers but i'm not loving the dress.
i'm lovin' the exposed zipper trend and this dress is hot!
YUMMY!!!!!!!
Personally, I love the idea of something like this... if I had it I would definitely tone it down with some feminine touches (that's just me) but I think on the right person, worn in the right way, it would be pretty great!
i like it, yet, i would want it large enough to wear a white cotton shirt or something.
Great, I'm a fan of that dress, and I'm loving the exposed zippers.
very sexy and trendy. love the zipper dress
