It all started a few weeks ago when my friend (bag designer) Clare Vivier showed up at a gallery opening wearing a jumpsuit. She looked stylish and at ease. And smart too, because she probably didn't spend thirty minutes like I did getting dressed! Then a few nights later, another friend (a stylist) arrived at a cocktail party sporting a vintage YSL black tuxedo-inspired jumpsuit. And my new obsession took hold. The jumpsuit has many merits after all: it's one-step-dressing, works around the clock and comes across unexpected looking. I especially love the modern strapless style, above, as it's day-to-night-proof (with a blazer thrown over it at the office). I found a similar Zara , imbued with a sleek Stella McCartney-meets-The Row aura. I am also digging these genius takes by , and .
