In this new episode of My Fashion Stories Box Podcast, we head into space. We travel back to the origins of the Space Age aesthetic, when fashion dreamed of the future, of shiny materials, geometric silhouettes, and astral combinations.

From the 1960s to today, from pioneers like Courrèges, Cardin, and Rabanne to modern explorers like Iris van Herpen, Balenciaga, Coperni, and Chanel, fashion has always drawn inspiration from the conquest of space to redraw the contours of the body, gender, and dreams.

In this episode, I take you on a historical journey into the golden age of the Space Age. On the program:

• An analysis of spacesuits and their influence on clothing
• An exploration of designers and collections from yesterday and today
• A reflection on the fascination with the cosmos, between nostalgia for the future and post-apocalyptic anxiety

With bonus features:

• The role of collaborations with space agencies
• The looks of the new space icons (Katy Perry, Thomas Pesquet, etc.)
• And one big final question: what if the clothes of the future were designed to survive on Earth rather than in space?
