EXCLUSIVE All-in-One Direction - where to get those jumpsuits
Harry Styles in his OnePiece Jump In all-in-one
Who would guess that X Factor boy band sensation One Direction have two students from Norway to thank for turning them into overnight fashion icons?
Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zain 'Zayn' Malikhave all donned quirky jumpsuits from Nowegian label OnePiece Jump In.
UK president of OnePiece Jump In,Ole Fjelberg, a student in London - and his girlfriend, Randi Versto Kaasa, decided to bring these distinctive styles over from Ole's home town of Oslo after they'd gained cult style status in Norway.
Speaking exclusively to Now online soon after One Direction wore OnePiece jumpsuits during their time on The X factor, Ole revealed: 'The OnePiece Jump In suits were originally designed to wearing the mountains after a hard day of skiing but they fast become a fashion statement.
'Last time I was home in Norway for Christmas, people were doing their shopping in them!'
One Direction are in very stylish company
‘We've had an awesome reception in the UK,' Ole told Now's Alison Tay. 'As well as One Direction, celebs such as Kylie Minogue, Kate Moss, Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal, Tinie Tempah, JLS and Diversity have all gone crazy for them.'
One Direction's jumpsuits start from £80-130, available from OnePiece Jump In.
