Zip in English or fecho-eclair in Portuguese. The zip was an invention that revolutionised the ready-to-wear world; it’s as useful as paper clips. Both are designer items, useful and in our day to day life and we don’t give then its true value. But now we have Kate Cusack, a jewellery designer that lives in Brooklyn. She wants to show the world the potential of the zip. She designs necklaces and pins using zips to do it. She creates unique articles that are full of imagination and are very sophisticated. When she is working she pays special attention to materials, colours and textures. The result is very unique.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
