Is space a new runway, and Spacesuits are the latest Haute Couture Statement?
It has a bodycon silhouette that hugs the zipper on the edges of each calf, an ombre effect and even each calf. Oh, and it is designed by Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim-Nuyorke’s Luxury Fashion Brand Mons, co-founder, who also serve as creative directors of Oscar de la Renta.
If you feel that we are talking about a red carpet dress of a celebrity, then you are wrong.
In fact, these are the striking details of spacesuts that were worn for the pop sensation Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchhez -Amazon founder and the head of Blue Origin along with Jeff Bezos, along with four other women, for the Landmark All -Women Crew Flight to Space of Blue Origin.
In addition to Perry and Sanchez, the crew included journalist Gayle King, NASA Aerospace Engineer Aisha Boway, civil rights activist Amanda Guyen and filmmaker Kerian Flynn. The All-Women Crew Mission took place in 1963 at the first since the solo flight from the Soviet Cosmonot Valentina Tereskova, on 14 April at the West Texas site of Blue Origin.
The flight was brief, and lasted for about 11 minutes.
To take some spices in space, Sanchez planted designer Duo Garcia and Kim for Spacesuits. She knew that Spacesuts were traditionally designed for men, much like the area of space exploration.
So what if space is a man’s world for a long time, or if he is going as a space tourist? For Sanchez, it was non-oblique to feel like his true self. And so began searching to create a stylish spacesuit – a crew was described as “elegant,” the professional yet feminine, “, and he says the designer” flattery and sexy “.
Hold – This space is more spice for fashion moment. Under its mostly-designed spacesuit, the crew wore a shapewear from Kim Kardashian’s label, skims.
So, is space new runway, and Spacesuits are the latest Haute Couture Statement? Increasing efforts to make space tourism a reality definitely suggest that it can become the next big thing in fashion-metalism.
But this is not the first fashion of fashion with the final frontier. Space has long been inspired by many fashion brands to create future designs, and yes, even a luxury label like Prada has been tapped to give a stylish spin to NASA’s spacesuit.
Prada worked closely with NASA’s Artemis III mission to design the next generation of spacesuit with Aerospace Company Axiom Space in Texas. Announced in October 2023, cooperation first partnered a luxury fashion house with a commercial space company.
Prada engineers worked on design and material for the outer layer of the suit, drawing on their expertise in high -performance gear. The final appearance at the International Astronaut Congress in Milan in October 2024 was unveiled. The lunar was designed to handle dust and extreme temperatures, the suit combined the functionality with flexibility and design.
This is not the only high-fashion cooperation in the scope of spacesuts.
Back in 2016, SpaceX stopped a unique collaboration with Hollywood costume designer Jose Fernandez – creative mind behind superhero suit iron Man And Batman v superman,
Fernandez worked with Elon Musk to develop a spacesuit that was smooth as functional. Musk had a clear vision: astronauts required a suit to make “heroes”, as if they were stepping into a tuxido instead of a pressure garment. The vision led a minimum, form-fitting design, which was eventually reverse-engineer by SpaceX to meet the needs of space by SpaceX.
In May 2020, the crew was worn into space by Dug Hurley and Bob Behanken in space during the Dragon Demo -2 mission.
Bangalore designed pointed blue spacesuts for the first crew of the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), the first crew of the Gaganan Mission.
The characteristic of an odd and sharp design, this was one of the 70 different options presented by the Spacesuit NIFT team for the Gaganian mission. Dr. Jonali Bhajpai, Dr. Mohan Kumar’s team, which includes Lamia Aniz, Summer Pradhan and Tulia D, worked closely with astronauts, understanding their needs and preferences, which ensure functionality to ensure functionality without compromising on aesthetics.
It makes the suit unique is its odd style of design. Dr. Mohan Kumar said, “Asymmetry is like the same visual weight on both sides. No you see inequality in other space agencies anywhere.”
While technology and functionality clearly focuses the primary focus of spacesuits, a touch of fashion flare is now taking style in a new frontier: space.
