Ideas, dreams and sources of inspiration are at the heart of any collection. For example, space. The first manned flight into space was carried out on April 12, 1961. These events have inspired many creative people, including fashion designers. Fashion instantly responds to changes in society and advances in science. Many years have passed, but space still inspires designers and remains as inaccessible.

Our progress in space exploration is minimal. Over the past years, nothing fundamentally new has been invented, only the technologies of the middle of the 20th century have been brought to perfection. Mars and other planets remain inaccessible to us, and even a flight to the moon is incredibly expensive. Today, no one seriously believes in the 1969 flight of the Americans to the moon. In general, real space remains out of reach for people, we can only look through telescopes and dream.



But the designers manage to make dreams come true, creating fashionable clothes and accessories in a space style. Over the years, many collections have been created, all of them are interesting and different in their own way, but they can be classified according to two criteria - space prints and shapes.


The easiest way to create prints with a star theme. Now you don't even have to be a designer or illustrator for this, there are many services on the Internet where the service of printing images on ready-made T-shirts and other clothing items is provided. If you wish, you can also order fabrics with space prints.



Chinese manufacturers of affordable clothing have been the most successful in using space prints. Aliexpress has an incredible selection of space-themed clothing. Many sellers are lured by the promise of high quality 3D printing, but in fact, most of the prints on fabric are of very mediocre quality, almost always worse than in photographs. There are good examples, though. The beauty of space is not easy to convey on fabric.

Famous nebulae look the most advantageous in the form of prints; in any situation, from any angle, they remain a wonderful piece of space and do not lose their attractiveness.



The stars and star clusters in the form of photographs are inferior to the real stars in the sky. It is much better to choose painted little stars with five, seven, nine rays, with shine and radiance, they will give the dress not only associations with space, but also something mysterious mystical. It is these stars that are best suited for expensive evening dresses and the most elegant looks.

Astronaut and alien prints are often funny and cute. Outfits with similar patterns are the best solution for playful and creative looks.




Everything is much more complicated here, although there are simple exceptions. Since the 1960s, designers inspired by space have come up with dresses and accessories with elements of space suits for earthlings or aliens. Space design loves metallic silver and different types of plastics, including the most affordable PVC.

Browsing photos of spaceships and films about space, designers find ideas and translate them into fashionable looks. So we get hats that resemble an astronaut's helmet, coats and jackets, sewn, as if from the skin of an alien ship, astronaut boots and much more ...



Pioneers space fashion there are several designers who worked in the 1960s, including André Courreges. In 1964, he presented a collection of clothing for the future. Models from Courrejes wore short skirts and dresses made of synthetic materials and plastics.Another designer of space images, Pierre Cardin, his works forever entered the history of fashion, and now, many years later, it is easy to find photos of advertising campaigns of those years.

The most daring fashionistas immediately picked up the space ideas of Space Age, they boldly wore short trapeze dresses with patent leather golf boots on the streets, although then such a choice looked strange and even indecent. It is today not to surprise anyone with a short skirt, and in the 1960s this outfit was contrary to the moral values ​​of society.

Over the years, many looks have been developed, today some designers are reworking the fashion heritage and refining things using new technologies. For the space theme, the use of fabrics that change color is very attractive. Smart technology, LED backlighting is also a great addition. Space opens up vast spaces for creativity.



Space is an endless space, where the planet Earth is an insignificant grain of sand. At the same time, billions of people live their entire lives without thinking about space, because everyone has things and concerns that they consider important. In fact, even the most serious cases of corporations and leaders of states do not matter at all on a cosmic scale.



If you peer into the starry sky, you understand how senseless all this earthly vanity is. People think about notorious success, but what is success when a person's life is on average 80 years old? By cosmic standards, 80 years is no more than an instant. In space, there are other numbers - millions and billions of years. Therefore, any earthly success for space is only vanity of vanities in an instant.
