Fashion Jumpsuit Challenge 2008

Posted by Brett Glass on Mon, May 12 at 2:46 PM

It’s true: Gwyneth Paltrow wore a Stella McCartney jumpsuit to the Iron Man premier. Personally, I loved it and hope this is one more step toward a big jumpsuit comeback. They’re everything fashion should be—fun, frivolous, futuristic (in a 70s way).
Unfortunately, I don’t see them nearly enough. Let’s change that! To promote the jumpsuit cause, send me a pic in your favorite onepiece by Monday, May 19 and I’ll select the best, post it here and give the winner a $50 gift certificate to Red Light, which incidentally has an incredible selection of retro jumpsuits—from sleek 70s Cher styles to pop-bright early 80s pieces. Plus a few flightsuit types for guys.
Along with Fringe Vintage, they’re the best places in town to pick one up (prices range from $11-$20). You know, in case you don’t have a selection at home.
