Awesome. I'm tired of thinking about what to wear.

I’m here to meet Abigail Glaum-Lathbury, who will give me a jumpsuit she made just for me that I will wear as my only article of clothing for the next three weeks. Abigail is one of two artists who comprise the Rational Dress Society, a collective committed to what the group calls “counter-fashion”—a critique of fashion and capitalism through political dress. Abigail and her partner in counter-fashion, Maura Brewer, have been wearing only jumpsuits for the past three years—to weddings, to job interviews, to teach their classes at art school, and to visit their families over Thanksgiving. Their closets are nearly empty: they each have three jumpsuits, a few jumpsuit-compatible sweaters, workout clothes, pajamas, and underthings—that’s it. They don’t have to buy new clothes or wonder how they’ll look in the culottes that have recently come into fashion. They never have to choose a new outfit because they’ve already picked the one they’ll wear forever.

This will catch on. Mark my words. Mao would approve.

Definitely this is the next big thing.

The Rational Dress Society is calling on you, dear comrade! Help us Make America Rational Again! For more information about M.A.R.A., please visit www.jumpsu.it/mara

To support our ongoing initiative, Make America Rational Again, visit the America’s on Fire… SALE and buy a limited-edition print or tote bag.

Our mutual value is, for us, the value of our mutual JUMPSUITS.

The philosophers have only interpreted the world, the point is to change it with JUMPSUITS

I may hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, and criticize after dinner, all while wearing JUMPSUITS.

Points for originality and cheekiness. I approve.

Ya Allah! Her face is almost covered in the second one.
Maybe the infidels are ever so slowly getting the right idea.

The Jumpsuit That Will Replace All Clothes Forever.

Setting aside the Python joke for a moment, what happened to "Diversity is Our Strength"?

That's a horrible attempt at photoshopping. But a funny sentiment, nonetheless. Hillary has absolutely no fashion sense.

Oh I'm sure they believe in diversity, just not that kind of diversity. (Notice that the models they show wearing their jumpsuit are racially diverse.)

They are unreconstructed Marxist-Leninists.

“I’m comrade Maura.”

“I’m comrade Abigail. Together, we make JUMPSUIT, the open-source, ungendered monogarment to replace all clothes in perpetuity.”

I mean, how much more cliche can you get? "Comrade"??

After the group cuts out their sleeves and they begin taking turns at the sewing machines, a woman with a Russian accent emerges from another exhibit and sheepishly asks me, “What is this?” I try to explain that these are artists who make jumpsuits and that this group has gathered in the middle of this famous museum to sew. “Yes, but why are they playing the Soviet national anthem?” she asks. I’m not quite sure how to answer. Maura and Abigail offer the aesthetic of “the worker” with unrestrained delight, but it seems suddenly tone-deaf in the presence of a woman who has presumably grown up in the shadow of Stalin. The Rational Dress Society’s critique of choice is meant to be a critique of American late-stage capitalism. But the aesthetics of that critique seem to hearken back to a time and a place ruled by a different tyranny: one of scarcity and political oppression.
