We use zippers all the time, whether on clothes, shoes, bags, tents … the list goes on.

Zippers keep our belongings secure, they keep us warm, they help keep out the elements, and they make it easier to get dressed.

This hour: the zipper — its history and significance, its role in fashion … and why so many zippers say “YKK.”

GUESTS:

Robert Friedel: Professor emeritus of history at the University of Maryland and the author of Zipper: An Exploration in Novelty
Emma McClendon: Fashion historian, curator, and author
Jim Reed: President of YKK Corporation of America
