The next U.S. astronauts to walk on the moon will do so in style.

Axiom Space, a Houston-based spaceflight services company, and Italian luxury fashion house Prada have revealed the outer layer of the spacesuit to be worn on NASA's first Artemis mission to land humans on the lunar surface. The unveiling occurred at the International Astronautical Congress in Milan.

"We have broken the mold," said Matt Ondler, Axiom's president, in a statement issued on Wednesday (Oct. 16). "The Axiom Space-Prada partnership has set a new foundational model for cross-industry collaboration."
