Jumpsuit of the Day: 3.1 Phillip Lim at NY Fashion Week

3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2011 RTW collection

Designer Phillip Lim showed these two  jumpsuits with his Fall/Winter 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection last Wednesday at New York Fashion Week. His colour palette consisted of bright blues, lime greens and subdued neutrals, with some touches of burnt red. He drew his inspiration from the concept of fashion on two wheels. “It’s about these chic women who ride bikes to work, to brunch, to a cocktail party,” said Lim.

What makes these jumpsuits unique is the pleating that starts at the naval, and continues down the front of each leg, making the overall look appear suitable for the office. With the right accessories, these outfits can even be taken from day to night, especially the blue piece!

Rebecca Minkoff Fall/Winter 2011 RTW Collection

It looks like the silk jumpsuit is on its way to becoming an evening-wear trend this Fall/Winter, and as hot as the cheetah-print trend has been this season, newsflash for its haters– it’s here to stay for at least another season.

In design, this piece is similar to jumpsuits from the Carlos Miele collection, shown at New York on Valentines Day. The tapered pant and wrap neck give the silk garment some edge and sophistication, and the three-quarter-length sleeve shows just the right amount of wrist. The outfit is completed by a leather black belt, black wedges and a studded black clutch.

Jumpsuit of the Day: Michael Kors at NY Fashion Week

Jumpsuits by Michael Kors at NYFW Fall 2011

In this clever design, Michael Kors avoided the dreaded tight jumpsuit crotch and produced a casual and comfortable, yet fun and fashion-forward garment.

The dropped crotch flatters the models’ hip curves, and doesn’t give the fabric awkward or vulgar-looking creases in the pelvic-thigh area. The material appears to be cotton jersey, explaining the perfect fall of the fabric, and the combination of the scoop neck and wide-leg pants of the garment gives a sexy but relaxed look to what could have been a drab and unflattering outfit.

Jumpsuit of the Day: Gwen Stefani for L.A.M.B. at NY Fashion Week

Gwen Stefani in L.A.M.B. at NYFW

Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection was one of the last to be shown at New York Fashion Week. After the models strutted down the runway, Stefani graced the audience with her presence dressed in this cheetah-print jumpsuit.

The flowy material, and the manner in which it’s draped over one shoulder gives a sari effect to the outfit, which is held in place by a black leather belt. The bold colours across a white fabric gives an edgy vibe to the cheetah look; a print that is bold in itself (and clearly a print that will remain trendy  throughout fall; a number of designers at NYFW and even LFW fell back on the print for their garments).

Jumpsuit of the Day: Max Azria at NY Fashion Week

Max Azria Fall 2011 RTW

Browns, blacks and greys dominated the runways at Max Azria’s Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear runway show last week at NYFW. Although Max Azria is the founder of noted women’s fashion brand BCBG, this outfit is anything but bon chic bon genre. Frankly speaking, it’s difficult to understand why any woman with good style or attitude would wake up in the morning and dress herself in a jumpsuit that makes her look like a school janitor.

The baggy pants, long sleeves and drawstring waist make the model look like she’s ready to take out the trash. Worse, the two flat pockets appear as if they were slapped onto her chest at  the last minute. Her slicked back hair only completes the overall grotesque image. The button-lined chinese-style collar are about the only parts of the jumpsuit that carry some style.

Kevork Kiledjian Fall 2011 RTW

 Kevork Kiledjian’s Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear runway show took place on Valentines Day last week. Using leather, metallic shimmer, sequins, glitter and fringe detailing, Kiledjian gave a glamorous touch to the biker babe look. His clothes target a younger audience, and after watching models strut his sultry short dresses with unique necklines down the runway, there’s no doubting his eye for design. After all, his mother was connected to the field of architecture, and his father was a couturier for Lanvin!

 This form-fitting bodysuit has a cheetah print, but its figure hugging appearance makes it look more like a funky lace. The outfit is styled perfectly with a cream coloured matrix-inspired coat and a chunky statement necklace.

Alice + Olivia Fall 2011 RTW

This jumpsuit was part of the Alice + Olivia Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection shown on Valentines Day at the Plaza Hotel in New York. The collection was full of girly dresses and funky separates; day-to night looks, some with fur details and sequined embellishments.

The wide-leg pant has made a clear comeback at New York Fashion Week, and the exaggerated bell-bottom fits the overall retro look of this jumpsuit. The gold belt is necessary in bringing in the waist, to give the outfit a fitted shape.

This was the only jumpsuit in the Alice + Olivia collection at Fashion Week, but click here to see some of the gorgeous dresses and separates!

Ports 1961 Fall 2011 RTW

Designer Fiona Cibani drew from menswear inspirations for her Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection that was shown on Wednesday at New York Fashion Week. Though the runway show lacked some femininity and evening wear, the models fabulously worked the work-wear.

This jumpsuit screams wonders to the modern fashionable woman who has difficulty finding her place amongst  co-workers in her male-dominated office. Cibani manages to do justice to the female figure while remaining tasteful, conservative and work-appropriate.

Jumpsuits in the Carlos Miele Fall 2011 RTW collection

 A collection primarily made up of intricately embellished evening gowns, Carlos Miele’s runway show on Monday at New York Fashion Week was a hit, and amidst flowing skirts, metallic details and fur embellishments, these three pieces stood out from the rest.

Acording to Miele, the jumpsuits were his favorite garments from the Fall 2011 Ready-t0-Wear collection. The gathered pants, fitted waist, wrap neck and long sleeves give them look that is classy, sophisticated and refined, while still bold and statement-making.

The hoods worn with the red and white jumpsuits turned out to be quite popular amongst designers at New York last week;nDonna Karan, Zero + Maria Cornejo and  Chado Ralph Rucci also incorporated hooded scarves in their runway styling.

Halston Fall 2011 RTW collection

Designer Marios Schwab used lean silhouettes, revealing necklines and luxurious fabrics for the Halston Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear runway show held on Tuesday in New York.

This slinky silver jumpsuit stood out amongst his array of evening gowns. The all too familiar bell-bottom pant of NYFW works well with the high neck and slim cut-out. The fur jacket paired with the piece gives the overall look some urban edge, but it is unfortunate that the sleeves (or lack of!) of the jumpsuit cannot be seen.
