The zipper was first invented by Elias Howe but became popular thanks to Gideon Sundback's improvements. The name 'zipper' came from B.F. Goodrich Company, who used it on their rubber boots. Zippers became a fashion trend in the 1930s, known for making clothing more practical and stylish.
A zipper consists of two strips of material with metal or plastic teeth along the edges and with a sliding piece that draws the teeth into interlocking position when moved in one direction and separates them again when moved in the opposite direction.
