Etymology
The word 'sequined' comes from the French word 'sequin,' which itself is derived from the Italian word 'zecchino.' The Italian term originally referred to a gold coin from the 16th century. As time went on, 'sequin' began to refer to the shiny discs used in fashion to embellish clothing and accessories, a practice that has roots in various cultures throughout history. The decorative technique of using sequins dates back many centuries, but it gained particular popularity in the 1920s and 1930s as flapper dresses became trendy. Today, sequined garments are associated with glamour and celebration, commonly seen in festive clothing styles.
