FUTURE SPACE FASHION

Couture in Orbit is a project created by ESA (European Space Agency) and the Science Museum in London who are working with five leading fashion schools between 2014 and 2016 – ESMOD Berlin, ESMOD Paris, Fashion Design Akademiet, Politecnico Milano, Ravensbourne, representing the five ESA astronauts from the Germany, France, Denmark, Italy and the U.K. who are visiting the International Space Station. The mission is to design clothes for the space age: how to interpret new technological discoveries into daily life beyond wearables into designing and developing clothes that are both functional and desirable while incorporating high-tech innovations.
