Exposed Zippers Galore

In the apparel industry, there are many different types of zippers used for different reasons. Some are slot zippers, some are fly zippers, there are even invisible zippers.  One trend that has been seen very commonly lately is exposed zippers.  Exposed zippers are zipper chains that are intentionally shown.  Zippers that are exposed are a type of slot application.  Below are some pictures of dresses featuring these exposed zippers:

Exposed zippers are decorative, and are especially decorative in novelty zippers.  Many designers have started using exposed zippers in their garments in order to have it be a statement piece.  I find this look very unique and like it a lot. Not only are exposed zippers seen in dresses, it is common to find them in accessories as well.  Below is a purse from Glam Noir and a stiletto from Pierre Hardy.

What does everybody think about exposed zippers?  Would you buy a garment with this feature?
