Zippers get what they deserve at the second largest fashion show in the history of the Museum of modern art in New York. Zipper was born in Chicago. It's American. At the world's fair in Chicago in 1893, Whitcomb Judson, an Illinois inventor, presented his patented invention: the latch or unlocking device for shoes. Judson's product is a combination of hook and buckle system, which is rough in appearance and clumsy in operation. In 1913, one of Judson's employees, Gideon sundback, received another patent for a similar invention: No. 2 hook less fastener. The invention helped the evolution of the zipper. Before that, buttons or lace have never made people's body and skin so close to the machine, and human beings have never experienced the metal represented by zipper so highly efficient.
Today, zippers have grown into a $13 billion market. The leading enterprise in this industry is Japan's YKK group. Anyone with a windbreaker should have heard its name. YKK dominates the zipper industry by vertical integration: from metal used for zippers to boxes used for zipper distribution, YKK's production and processing are all in one. In 2015, the company opened a showroom in London to show a zipper for a luxury handbag. Nowadays, some Chinese counterparts pursue speed and will soon be able to launch excellent products. YKK hopes to be invincible in the competition with this high-end route.
