Jumpsuits have dotted countless designer collections since graduating from garages to glossies more than two decades ago. Recent versions have evoked the printed one-pieces of Mick Jagger and Freddie Mercury, while hearkening back to the velvet ropes of Studio 54 and even hitting upon haute meat-locker garb. The ubiquity of today’s jumpsuit has made it more of a seasonal staple than a runway one-off, with every major house -- from H&M to Chanel and YSL -- touting their own signature versions, finally giving the onesie its much-deserved 15 minutes.

In the old movies, Cagney or Bogie would show up at an alley door, produce the secret knock and a gorilla in a suit would squint through a peephole, opening the gate to the hottest joint in town. After handing over the password -- “Joe sent me,” or, “I’m a friend of the family” -- and a palmed sawbuck, admission was granted. Inside, there were swells in swanky tuxes and flappers in sequined gowns dancing to a 20-piece band. These were the covert clubs of my black-and-white TV youth.

Jumpin’ Jack Flash! We certainly had a gas with the ebullient Juliette Lewis, who took on the diverse roles of Bettie Page, Coco Chanel, Bonnie Parker and Mick Jagger for this issue devoted to the act of creative rebellion. Each one of these individuals, in their own way, defied convention in their heyday as much as Lewis herself does. The Oscar-nominated actress made the radical decision at the age of 30 that she could no longer resist the call to rock. She stepped off of “the hamster wheel” in Hollywood a few years back and got down to the business of rock ’n’ roll. Her soulful intensity and raw self-examination come through full-throttle on her new record, Terra Incognita. But thankfully, she’s back on the big screen, too, with four new films due out over the next year (and a brutally candid interview).
