BakaBoo Premiers the Baka Floral Cut Jumpsuit at SWANK Events January


The ease of wearing chic apparel is the key design element 
trending in fashion today. 

We all lead busy lives, and the faster we can get dressed 
(while still looking put together) the better. 


That said, take a look at this very chic and glamorous, 
Asian inspired BakaBoo Baka Jumpsuit in Floral Cuts. 


I see the influence of the power suit combined with cuffed poufy sleeves, 
bold contrasting floral Asian patterning, a sexy cross-wrapped bodice, 
bow belt and flared legs all combining together to make this 
BakaBoo Baka Floral Cut Jumpsuit a definite statement outfit. 


What makes this jumpsuit appealing as a fashion statement is 
that there is very little work involved to accessorize it, 
making it the epitome of being effortlessly cool. 

The history of the jumpsuit is a bit more complex than the garment itself.  


The fashion legend Elsa Schiaparelli created the first 
high-fashion jumpsuit at the end of the 1930’s. 

 She created a collection inspired by the coming war which included 
a women’s jumpsuit cut from silk with large front pockets. 

While these were met with positive reactions, luxury 
jumpsuits were put on hold as WWII began. 


Thus, the jumpsuit’s early roots were not exactly the 
epitome of glamour but instead used for utilitarian purposes. 


During WWII the jumpsuit became a staple of women who 
worked in factories and soon gained widespread acceptance 
for casual wear and for work at home in the garden. 


The jumpsuit’s name was derived literally from its specific purpose 
for jumping from planes. Pilots and race car drivers also 
adopted this garment for their use, making it also synonymous
with extremely dangerous work. (Not making it exactly chic). 


The actress Katherine Hepburn helped to shape the styling 
of the jumpsuit as she appeared in several movies wearing 
elegant, wide legged trousers. 

Shoulder pads also became popular to highlight the 
masculine, military look. They also added an interest to the 
shape of the slim silhouette. 


From these fashion derivatives the jumpsuit evolved. 

Today, nothing compares to the sartorial speed and effortlessness attire 
like the jumpsuit. It is no wonder that this versatile outfit has become so popular. 


This BakaBoo Baka Floral Cut Jumpsuit fits in perfectly 
with my busy lifestyle here in Second Life.

This garment comes in three color versions:
Yin-Yang (Grey & Black), Yin (Gold & Blue) & Yang (Powder Blue & Grey). 

It is chic, sophisticated, uncomplicated to wear 
and it can be worn for just about any occasion. 



For me, this jumpsuit makes the ultimate statement 
for the modern woman and an investment piece 
worthy of topping your SL shopping list.
