THE HISTORY OF THE JUMPSUIT: From work overalls to fashion must-have
The history of the jumpsuit: from work overall to fashion must-have
Originally designed as a practical jumpsuit for parachutists in the early 20th century, the jumpsuit has undergone a fascinating evolution. From its birth as protective clothing to its heyday in the 1970s as a fashion statement to its current status as a versatile all-rounder - the jumpsuit has long since established itself as an indispensable item of clothing in women's fashion. Whether elegant, casual or extravagant - jumpsuits offer a wealth of styling options for every occasion.
The term “jumpsuit” comes from the words “jump” and “suit”. The term was originally used for the one-piece overalls worn by skydivers, as this “suit” was specially designed to offer them protection and freedom of movement during the jump. In addition to “jumpsuit”, there are other terms for similar garments, depending on the cut and style. For example, a sleeveless, often airy one-piece is called a “playsuit” or “romper”. A long-sleeved jumpsuit with more elegant cuts and materials is often referred to as a “jumpsuit” or “boiler suit”, while a short one-piece, usually worn in summer, is also known as a “shortsuit”. Each of these variations offers unique styling options and demonstrates the versatility of this iconic fashion trend.
Luxury brands and the jumpsuit: GUCCI, CHANEL and Prada set trends
Also luxury brands such as GUCCI, CHANEL and Prada have discovered the jumpsuit for themselves and celebrate it on their catwalks. GUCCI takes the jumpsuit to a new level with its eye-catching patterns and extravagant cuts by combining bold colors and eye-catching accessories. CHANEL, on the other hand, remains true to its classic elegance and interprets the jumpsuit in simple yet sophisticated designs made from luxurious fabrics such as silk and tweed. Prada manages the balancing act between futuristic chic and vintage vibes by refining the jumpsuit with unconventional materials and sophisticated details. These labels show just how versatile and luxurious the jumpsuit can be and make it an essential it-piece for fashion-conscious women worldwide.
