Word origin
The term 'sequinned' originates from the word 'sequin,' which dates back to the late 15th century, deriving from the Arabic 'sikka,' meaning 'coin.' In Italy, the term evolved during the Renaissance as 'zecchino,' referring to a gold coin that was highly valued. Over time, the association of sequins with wealth and luxury led to their use in adornments. Initially, sequins were crafted from precious materials such as gold or silver. However, the modern synthetic versions emerged in the 19th century, allowing for vibrant colors and affordability. Today, sequins are synonymous with glamour and are widely used in the fashion industry, particularly for evening wear and theatrical costumes, reflecting both cultural evolution and creative expression.
