Sexy, slimming, elegant — no these are not words used to describe the latest collections in Paris, but the custom made space suits created for the first all-female crewed Blue Origin spaceflight. The group, counting Lauren Sánchez, wife of Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, popstar Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn and scientist and activists Amanda Nguyen and Aisha Bowe, rocketed into space today, Monday 14 April.
But rather than be bagged down in the oversized spacesuit one might visualise when astronauts come to mind, Sánchez had a very different idea when she began organising their outfits five months ago.
