The saving trend: hook pin.

You should consider one thing if we are going to talk about the hook pin or safety pin: IT COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE. That's because it can save you from a disaster, it can give you the touch to your punky look or you can be the next Elizabeth Hurley and go from being "the ....'s girlfriend" to be the sexy bomb that we all want to know.

Well, that was in 1994, a long time ago, but if we go even further, we could talk about central Europe in the thirteenth century BC or the Greeks who held their long and heavy tunics with this instrument.

Or in literature, where in the Odyssey of Homer, one of the many suitors of Penelope, gives her a robe with 12 fibula and Herodoto, who narrates the death of a soldier in the hands of a group of women and the pins of his robes.

Yes, the hook pin can be cool .... and dangerous.

And perhaps that has been, until now, the best match that has been given to this hook pin, in the 70's, when the punk movement makes it one of its identity emblems.

But who is really responsible?

Malcolm McLaren, citing Elli Medeiros or Vivienne Westwood after observing Jhonny Rotten.

The truth is that, that isn't so important, the important thing here is to recognize that it is part of the punk style, something Balmain in 2010/2011 should remember (maybe that's why Christophe Decarnin left the house of fashion), please let the pin hook to who knows how to use it.
