Fashion-Icon: The Overall

The overalls made an appearance on the summer 2020 catwalks, in (Raw) industrial materials like cotton, denim, transparent fabric and leather. The style looks athletic, masculine and sometimes a bit naughty. Several fashion labels have shown their version. Take a look @ the classy one.

History

PARATROOPERS

The overall in the First World War was a functional suit for paratroopers.  In the 1920s and 1930s, an overall was for workers. The “siren suit” favored by Winston Churchill, but also worn by many others in the UK when air raids were a threat during the Second World War, was similar to a boilersuit-overall.

Very famous are the images of the 1970s, when Elvis Presley wore luxury silk overalls as a fashion item in his shows.

What makes an overall so special?

A overall is a one-piece, tight-fitting garment covering the whole body, except for the head, hands, and feet. The original was called a jumpsuit – the functional one-piece garment used by parachutists.

The original skydivers’ jumpsuits were simple garments designed to insulate the body from the colder temperatures of higher altitudes and minimize the risk of important handles and grips being covered by fabric. Today, however, the garment has found other uses, as seen @ Fendi’s catwalk.

Salvatore Ferragamo shows the first men’s collection under the creative direction of Paul Andrew.  This collection displays diversity, sexy neutrals for every age, interesting color combinations and on-point tailoring in every piece. 



SS2020 SALVATORE FERRAGAMO

The Stella McCartney Men’s Collection features ‘We Are The Weather’ motifs, like a roomy overall, an all-over Earth satellite print resembling an abstract camo motif, as well as a leopard pattern created by scaled-up photocopies of Fur-Free-Fur printed on generously-cut lightweight dusters. The idea behind this collection is a bit eco-warriors/weirdos and Steela McCartney is kind of proud of it.
