Zoot Suits: Reinvented


Christophe Decarnin brings the Zoot Suit back to life in his Fall 09 Collection for Balmain.  His suits have extravagant padded shoulders and the pants are big and baggy but taper at the ankle. His twist is the sexy slit up the front of the leg with  fitted sexy tuxedo jackets.

Marc Jacob's Spring 07 Collection also references the Zoot Suit. This particular look has the oversized trousers that taper at the ankle that was the typical Zoot Suit silhouette. It also alludes to the Zoot Suit attitude of "Look at Me" with its flashy gold jacket.
