Miss Zippy

Now this is what I call a cheap outfit; in more ways than one.

Sebastian Errazuriz's design was unveiled last week as the ultimate credit crunch must have. With 120 zips, this dress can be worn in over 100 different ways from a long length evening gown to a mini skirt and a crop top.



But is this really going to catch on?

Fashion is a very fickle thing. Clothes that were originally worn in the 80's are now coming back into style. And how often have you looked through photographs of you from 5 years ago and thought: 'What am I wearing?' It happens constantly.

I personally wouldn't buy one of these, even if the price was right. The zips would annoy me and I would probably lose half of it by repeatedly taking the sections apart.

It isn't exactly easy on the eye either. Horizontal strips only work on very few of us, as they can be very unflattering. The black and white colours make the dress look quite dull, and not really 'dressy' enough to wear on a night out.

I am impressed by the idea though. One item of clothing that can be turned into 100 different outfits is pure genius. Lets hope someone else can come up with something a little more fashionable.
