Body Suits


Over the past years body suits have come to represent a basic item; not a basic in the sense that everyone has been wearing them, but in the sense that they've primarily been worn in basic colours and styles. That's meant that fashionisers could take the focus off the body suits themselves and use them as a blank canvas to be paired with statement accessories and eye-grabbing layers.

Spring 2010 will see that change. Yes, bodysuits will still be used with layers, but they'll become the statement pieces themselves. Francesco Scognamiglio's Spring 2010 catwalk made best use of this interpretation of the look, infusing the Grecian fashion trend into two body suits (both below). Rochas Spring 2010 collection also featured body suits, but these were in knit fabrics somewhat reminiscent of vintage bathing suits.
