Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, journalist Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and former NASA engineer Aisha Bowe have embarked on a historic all-female crew Space mission. Their 11-minute suborbital journey onboard the New Shepard spacecraft commenced at 7 pm IST on April 14. The journey is expected to offer the crew breathtaking views of Earth from the capsule window. Ahead of the launch, the designer label of the custom astronaut suits, Monse, shared how the blue suits were tailor-made to combine style with comfort and practicality.
Speaking to the New York Times, the designer shared that the suits were made to fit each of the women’s bodies using 3D scanning. The designs were worked on by Monse co-founders Fernando Garcia and Laura Kin in collaboration with Jeff Bezos’ partner, Lauren Sanchez. She told the publication, “Usually, these suits are made for a man.” Monse co-founders cited ski suits as the inspiration for the outfits, while Sanchez described it as ‘elegant’ with a ‘little spice’. Sanchez admitted to preparing for a stylish space debut and told Elle that the crew will be wearing eyelash extensions in the capsule.
