Brit artist Jeremy Deller's Boilersuit, co-created with Savile Row tailors Norton & Sons, gets an outing in the US with a stint at Parsons The New School for Design in New York. The "modern utility outfit that accumulates patches as mementos of the wearer's life" (or so say the organisers) goes on show from 8 February in "'Workwear', an exhibition and symposium that explore the legacy of work wear as a uniform for success in New York". The hardwearing outfit was first seen in a menswear show at London's Somerset House last year.
