Virgin Galactic unveils new high-fashion flight suits
#HTE
Virgin Galactic is adding a new spaceship to its fleet next month, and plans to unveil the craft at an event attended by Stephen Hawking. But before Virgin shows off the future look of its suborbital space plane, today the company revealed prototypes of some new flight suits and boots.
Instead of just pulling them off the rack, though, Richard Branson’s space company partnered up with Y-3 — an ongoing collaboration between adidas and Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. The project was led by Adam Wells, Virgin Galactic’s design head, and Y-3’s Lawrence Midwood.
