MATERIAL WORLD
Tough and water-resistant, nylon is enjoying a renaissance. One of its biggest purveyors in the 1990s, Prada now uses the material for a utility-style jacket, while luxing it up with a touch of faux fur.

All in one
Still the uniform of mechanics and military personnel, the jumpsuit isn’t just utilitarian. For the rest of us, it serves the highly useful function of making its wearer look put-together and style-aware.

Art of craft
