Space clothes. Fashion in zero gravity

Will mass space tourism become a reality in the near future? Those who believe that this is possible, Barbara Brownie’s book offers valuable practical advice on developing and selecting a wardrobe for traveling to near -Earth orbit and beyond. This study can be interesting to skeptics thanks to a special, "alien" view of clothes, finding how much everything that we know about it and do with it: design, manufacture, wearing, representation is due to strong severity. The thinking of the fashion designers remains in captivity of gravity, and even the designers of the 1960s, such as Andre Kurrezh and Paco Raban, inspired by the color and forms of satellites, missiles and spacesuits, in their ideas about the body and its relationships with clothes could not tear themselves away from the ground. At the same time, as Brownie shows, a number of historical and modern fashionable practices are able to teach a lot of clothing creators for space: from the manufacturing techniques of corrective linen, which are useful to the early manufacturers of spacesuits, to the dizzying "vertical defiles", allowing you to see earthly models from unearthly angles
