Jul 8 2009Potentially Dangerous: The 120-Zipper Dress
The 120-Zipper dress from designer Sebastian Errazuriz may or may not actually have 120 zippers (it doesn't), but is cool nonetheless. I mean, I wouldn't wear it, but I've had too many zipping accidents. You see this? Button fly....okay, or possibly me naked. What? SOMETIMES I FORGET WHAT I'M WEARING.
What might be most remarkable about this design is how quickly it can shift from elegant to sexy, a full-length, single-piece dress one could potentially wear to work into a skimpy, short-cut, two-piece number that could put some bikinis to shame. In between there are any number of other options for shortening the top or bottom or even leaving some zippers partly on and partly off.
I'd go out with you if you wore this. Seriously, and I'd even look past your peg-eye and club foot. At least until I left you for a girl in Velcro. It's a cold hard world baby, and my heart's a Sno-Cone machine.
Hit the jump to see a bunch of the possibilities.

Thanks to Salazar, who wears Velcro shoes, but only because they're faster.

That dress reminds me of when Sheldon dressed as "The Doppler Effect" on Big Bang Theory.

From classy to trashy in one zip - i love it.
except for when it's cold.....all those metal zippers would have to suck. I'd have to take it off...immediately (*zip, I'm done) ;)

meh...
10. ZEP - July 8, 2009 10:42 AM
Is it possible to wear this if you have larger breasts than my 12 year old brother?
11. /Eyeroll - July 8, 2009 10:48 AM
Fashion news?!.... a low point for this site indeed lol. Besides that... how is a person supposed to sit on all those zippers? Almost reminds me of something out of Super Mario Bros. the movie... but nowhere near as kool.
12. PaulWall - July 8, 2009 10:53 AM
Didn't Kelly Osbourne wear this on the red carpet...or somebody?
I swear to god I saw some celebrity wearing this ting a long time ago and thought it was the weirdest thing...

Excellent idea, one of the few times I'd give a fashion designer credit for coming up with something new and interesting.
15. Bethy - July 8, 2009 11:10 AM
Yes, because nothing says 'elegant' like a bunch of zippers forming a dress...
16. manders - July 8, 2009 11:11 AM
How is this a low point? Most of the ppl on here are guys, who sit at home on their computers and fantasize about a girl walking into their office wearing nothing but zippers. Even i have a mediocre fantasy about that
Super...Mario.....Brothers...the movie.....epic fail.....and i actually saw that in the theater when it came out.

What in the hell is wrong with that girl's bellybutton?
18. Daisy - July 8, 2009 11:18 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max had a problem with Deer eating the grass on his baseball field, so the local barber shop collected human hair to cover the grass and keep the deer away.

Fashion news is pure drivel. I don't know whats up with your fantasies or even care to know but if you're daydreaming about sex all day then it's probably high time to put an end to that drought... Why would you go see SMB in theaters?! lol... even the previews looked like shit... it was only good because it was so bad. You're just pissy you were one of the suckers who paid too much to see it lol.
20. manders - July 8, 2009 11:24 AM
....I was 12.....my parents paid for it.....and at age 12, I kind of enjoyed it (even though I had nightmares about the goombas
Have no problems with any "drought," just think it's a cool ass dress that would appeal to people who visit this site. besides, I'm mid-late 20s....I'm always thinking about sex! :)

23. Truk - July 8, 2009 12:16 PM
good idea, especially for women with back hair.
24. naas in southern cali - July 8, 2009 12:38 PM
Zippity do not want, I'm just too hairy down there & stopped wearing dresses last week
25. Suarga - July 8, 2009 12:47 PM
Oh sure, its a fashion craze when a french designer thinks of it, but if a Vince Offer were to pitch this, it would go down like a hooker asking for a face full of fist.
26. Bubbowrap - July 8, 2009 12:48 PM
Imagine picking this girl up at a club. The chances of you getting any = zero.
27. Justina - July 8, 2009 1:13 PM
@26, what do you mean the chances of you getting any is zero?
Hell, I'm pretty sure it's exponential, depending on how many zippers and how much booze you pump into her.
28. ~zeus~ - July 8, 2009 1:17 PM
OMG how do i get it off!
umm.. turntable for my girl
29. sohaan - July 8, 2009 2:58 PM

@ 17
Its called an "innie". Which, actually I prefer girls that have them instead of "outies".
@ 20
Perfectly healthy....../Eyeroll sounds cranky. He needs to get laid.....by a goomba!
31. Ashy - July 8, 2009 10:35 PM
This isn't a dress, it's the evil twin of the rape whistle.
All it needs now is a 16 year old with an internet connection and it's pretty much a rapist buffet.
32. led display - July 8, 2009 11:15 PM
pretty...cool...awesome...!!
33. Haha - July 9, 2009 2:34 AM
someone is going to get a nipple caught in that thing
34. asian sensation - July 9, 2009 2:46 AM
what the hell is wrong with that chic's baily button?
35. Kristen - July 9, 2009 5:33 PM
Regarding the weird bellybutton: Models have them stitched so they end up looking like a vertical sliver. It makes them look skinnier. They also have ribs removed to look thinner. Also depressing: this dress. Whoop dee don't.
36. Hi - July 9, 2009 6:55 PM
Bitch, the only decent way to wear this dress is with all zips unzipped...
37. fetus mcnuggets - July 9, 2009 11:10 PM
CRINGE ... i keep imagining my nipples getting caught !!!
then i would bleed kool aid
and will NEVER get THOSE nigglets off me !
and ooo boy am i fond of nigglets :o)
38. Hennessy - July 11, 2009 6:08 PM
Can anyone say "Easily Raped'?
39. Jess - July 13, 2009 6:57 AM
Ohhh my goodness that's so stinking cool I want one.I mean come on one minute you're wearing a dress and the next you can make it a tube top with a great pair of jeans.
40. Jenna - July 17, 2009 4:47 PM
If you have a single hair on your body... ouch.
Wear underwear, everyone!
41. Heidi - July 21, 2009 5:59 PM
Kristin, provide the evidence for that. Rib removal would leave some pretty obvious scars...and I haven't seen any scars on any models....
42. Best Jeans for Women - September 19, 2009 10:01 AM
Very nice, I like!
43. blueelm - September 28, 2009 8:08 PM
Sooo... I guess you just tape over your nipples? Because I'm thinking oooouuuuccch. Same with the behind. The whole thing really yeah maybe for foreplay, but I wouldn't want to wear this even to a club.
44. License Plate Purse Guy - October 10, 2009 10:34 AM
Very cool I have never seen the actual zipper dress. I was up in boston a year or so ago saw these zipper purses I was like WOW.... but the clothes man better make sure nothing catches lol
