This jumpsuit by Elio Fiorucci blurs the line between uniform and high fashion. It has a boxy fit and a patch on the chest—details pulled from a mechanic’s uniform. But rendered in hot pink and cinched at the wearer’s waist with a deep front zip, the look is also hyper-feminine and sexy, which challenges the uniform’s masculine aesthetic.
