JUMPSUIT: 100 BUT ALWAYS TRENDY!
It has been nearly 100 years since the jumpsuit was invented mostly for the working men during the war by Thayaht (the pseudonym of Ernesto Michahelles) , an Italian sculptor, painter, designer, inventor, photographer and architect. At the end of the Big World War, his design was also published in the Italian newspaper “La Nazione” to teach everyone how to make their own jumpsuit at home.
His original intention was for the dress to be a true everyday “basic” piece, something simple that would be easy to make and wear. The simple cotton look, denominated Tuta (for its shape formed by a T overlap a U with a cut to the pants that represents an A), was created as an anti-traditional outfit whose buyers were essentially from the working class.
It took a fashion legend as Elsa Schiaparelli (one of the world's leading fashion designers in the 1920s and '30s.) to launch the first high-fashion jumpsuit (see photo) at the end of the 1930’s and it soon became a piece of clothing for women. Since then it has a place in every woman’s wardrobe.
