Carrying Balenciaga’s black catsuit throughout New York Vogue Week, I seemed nice however had some minor setbacks, like not having the ability to do my job. The spandex piece has boots connected to its legs and gloves on the sleeves, making it troublesome, if not unattainable to make use of your fingers. Maybe that’s why we now have solely seen celebrities like Kim Kardashian, who appears to step out in a brand new iteration every single day, try to put on this fully-covered catsuit. Regardless, they’ve turn into a development, and different labels have adopted Balenciaga’s lead. LaQuan Smith has churned out a saucy black catsuit and Atu has a scorching pink tiger-striped one.
Whereas they’re just about omnipresent on Instagram and in celeb avenue type pictures, I’ve by no means seen a passerby sporting one, even in New York the place dressing outlandishly is a lifestyle. I made a decision to strive it out for myself, and Vogue Week can be the proper place to take action. In any case, the occasion is actually an excuse to place slightly kick into your regular wardrobe. I emailed the Balenciaga crew, who messengered the piece over to the Vogue workplace and included some goodies to type with the catsuit, together with the charming Le Cagole croissant bag and an enormous quilted scarf akin to a comforter that I used to be alleged to put on round my arms. (As I needed to overview reveals this season, which suggests schlepping my laptop computer with me to and from the reveals, I needed to forgo the Le Cagole. No cute bag for moi!)
