Skydivers wear them. Mechanics wear them. Iconic musicians wear them. Even Olympic destined world-record breaking swimmers wear them. One for All, All for One: The Jumpsuit offers an unsurpassed 90 year exploration of this simple and highly versatile garment. From an original WWI women's factory uniform created in 1918 to several couture pieces fresh from the runways of New York and Paris, this original exhibition offers a retrospective view of both the fashion and functionality of the jumpsuit. "I'm completely sold on this show. Literally. I just went online and ordered a jumpsuit in black".Phoenix New Times
