The origin of the sequin element At first, sequins were disc-shaped beads that appeared for decorative purposes. The raw material was metal. Today, they are usually made of plastic and are generally used on clothing, jewelry, bags, shoes and other accessories. The origin of the word "sequin" has always been associated with wealth, and the origin of the word sequin can be found in the Arabic word sikka and the colloquial Venetian noun zecchino, which both mean "gold coin".
During the Renaissance, nobles sewed precious stones and gold sequins on their clothes in intricate patterns as a status symbol.
In the early 20th century, sequins were made of gelatin, so if the wearer's body temperature became too high or it rained, the sequins would melt. To solve such problems, Herbert Lieberman collaborated with Eastman Kodak Camera Film Company in the 1930s to create acetate sequins, which were less likely to melt, but such sequins were still very fragile. In the 1950s, the Dupont Company invented polyester acetate sequins, and they became popular, eventually being replaced by vinyl.
In 1973, Rolling Stone magazine published an article about disco, and a few months later, the crazy disco fever swept the world. Bold colors, shaggy hair and platform shoes became the uniform of the new musical movement, while sequins — whose metallic surfaces caught light like disco balls on the dance floor — quickly became popular. At the time, Vogue, as a leader in the fashion industry, embraced the trend change in time: it showed a photo taken by Eric Boman for Bianca Jagger.
Today's sequins cover skirts, bags, jewelry, etc., such shiny "disco light ball" sequins have become an important element in many fashion items.
Sequin elements in the show field In clothing design, when it comes to the use of sequins, we have to mention the Lebanese brand Elie Saab. Elie Saab is a brand of the same name founded by Lebanese senior fashion designer Elie Saab in 1982. It has always been known for its luxurious, noble, elegant and charming evening dresses. Each season uses exquisite and luxurious elements such as silk satin, pearlescent fabrics, chiffon with unique patterns, silver tassels, sequins, and fine embroidery.
Elie Saab outlines a feast of exquisite and luxurious costumes with great skill, swaying the starlight, bringing dazzling fashion to everyone, and at the same time making Elie Saab's women incarnate into the most beautiful princesses of the elf kingdom. 2020 Elie Saab's Spring/Summer haute couture collection takes Mexico as the theme. Elegant lace and luxurious rhinestones are light, thin and transparent, revealing the unique and sexy side of women.
Elie Saab's autumn and winter 2020 haute couture moved to the jungle. Even under the double blow of the epidemic and the Lebanon explosion, it still completed the 2020 autumn and winter haute couture series and maintained its dreamy image of beautiful and luxurious clothing.
