![]() ![]() ![]() While Aldrin hopes to educate via this space age fashion collection, model N atalia Vodianova's Naked Heart Foundation (a charity helping children with special needs) is getting ready to raise funds next February with its Fabulous Fund Fair charity event that will be inspired by intergalactic space. The latter promotes science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) for children via hands-on activities, inspirational messages and educational visits. Some of the pieces feature again Aldrin's slogan: the former astronaut has indeed taken the opportunity offered by these fashion collaborations to promote his passion for interplanetary travel and the vision of his ShareSpace Foundation. T his Fall Buzz Aldrin lent his name to the "Mission to Mars" collection of coats, duffels and backpacks, in collaboration with streetwear label Sprayground. T he Space Age shenanigans continued in Paris on Chanel's A/W 2017 runway: here Karl Lagerfeld launched space-themed clothes and accessories that included silvery capes, glittery boots, luxury hoods with prints of X-rayed spacesuits and eveningwear embroidered with constellations and matched with planet-shaped round bags.Ī t the end of the runway the life-size rocket in the background also lifted into the venue reaching its ceiling while Elton John's "Rocket Man" played in the background. The theme was expanded in the collection campaign that paid homage to science fiction and films from the '50s and '60s. The news, as you may remember from a previous post, coincided with other space fashion-related events, including the launch of Christopher Kane's Space Collection and the landing of UFOs on Alessandro Michele's A/W 17 collection for Gucci. I n February NASA also revealed that scientists identified via the infrared Spitzer Space Telescope seven Earth-size, habitable-zone planets around a ultra-cool dwarf star, an exoplanet system called TRAPPIST-1 located at about 40 light-years from the Earth. Graham's collection was inspired by life on Mars and Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon in 1969 during the Apollo 11 space mission with Neil Armstrong, modelled a metallic silver bomber jacket, a black T-shirt bearing the phrase "Get Your Ass to Mars", a slogan from the eponymous campaign launched by Aldrin as part of his ShareSpace Foundation, and black trousers accessorised with silver sneaker. It continued in February this year: the Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow provided a fresh inspiration for Felipe Oliveira Baptista's Lacoste A/W 17 collection, showcased during New York Fashion Week.ĭuring the men's shows in New York, astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, 87, was invited to take not a giant leap for humankind, but a small step for fashion on Nick Graham's space-themed runway. You could argue that the trend actually started at the end of last year with Vivienne Tam's NASA-inspired S/S 17 collection. The world did not have a stellar year in 2017, but, trend-wise, we definitely had a lunar year thanks to the return of Space Age fashion. ![]()
