Fashion Vocabulary: Chevron Pattern
A Chevron (дослівно: крокви ) print consists of inverted “v” shapes in what looks like a zigzag pattern. The Chevron actually dates all the way back to 1800 BC in ancient Greece where it was seen in many forms of ancient art, such as pottery and stone carvings. The word chevron dates back to the 14th century when the popular pattern received an official name. The origin is French (and Latin) and it is derived from the resemblance of the pattern to building rafters. The Chevron figure has also been used for decades in the form of insignias in the military to show rank, particularly in the English Arms, is usually associated with the emblems and symbols used in military or police uniforms.
