Space dresses, dresses - space remind us of the secrets of the universe. The evolution of space fashion

Space quite often inspired designers to create luxurious outfits with mysterious prints. For example, just a year ago, clothes with images of the starry sky were in trend, and next season the space style will be fashionable! In the latest collections fashion houses You will find space style in the design of clothing and jewelry, as well as metallic shoes and bags. The new trend will be very interesting, but if you dress in such things from head to toe, then total look won’t be stylish, so if you want to wear designer new items, then let’s see which labels’ collections you can find them in and what to wear with trendy items.

Space clothing style Autumn/Winter 2017-2018: outerwear

The space style of clothing is not only a futuristic design, but also things with a metallic sheen. It is not difficult to guess that the more elaborate the clothing design, the more difficult it is to find a place for it in everyday wardrobe, so most designers limited themselves to what they created outerwear metallic colors. And yet, an unusual cape can be seen in the collection brand Chanel.

It should be noted that metallic clothing 2017 does not necessarily mean silver-colored items. Designers decorated models in any colors, and even printed clothes, with a metallic sheen. So, for example, you can choose a silver down jacket from the Philipp Plein collection, a bronze jacket from the Valentin Yudashkin line, or a metallic coat with a print from the Viva Vox collection. In any case, you will be in trend!

Space style women's clothing middle layer

Space style in mid-layer clothing is presented in different ways. Some designers opted for a steely sheen, while others decorated their models with space-themed images. Anyway, fashionistas who like new trend, will find all items in the collections women's wardrobe, and we’ll even tell you who included what in their lines.

Metallic clothing is represented quite widely in autumn-winter collection Paco Rabbane. In order for fashionistas to have a choice, the brand’s designers created T-shirts, blouses, trousers, skirts, and, of course, dresses in silver tones.

Metallic clothing, a color different from silver, is presented in the collection of the Belgian designer.

Space style in clothing: what to wear with it?

Whether you choose outerwear or midlayers, you'll want to be thoughtful about your other fashion choices. The thing is that steely shine automatically turns an item into the accent of a look, which means that if you choose equally bright items, you can easily go overboard. Metallic clothing looks best in combination with:

• plain clothes in pastel colors;
• models in gray color, if you chose metallic silver;
• accessories with a steel sheen in the same color as the clothes!

It is easiest to choose other clothes and accessories for silver-colored items, and yet, silver looks best in an ensemble with turquoise, pink and olive tones.

If you have chosen a different color with a metallic sheen, then combine such items with black or white.

If you want all the details of your fashionable look to be metallic, then look for things made in one color, since the combination of, for example, a silver blouse with a metallic green skirt and gold shoes looks very bad.

Metallic shoes 2017

In the new season, metallic shoes for women - must have, and fashionistas won’t have to be content with just one style or just one color! After all, leading designers have included almost all existing models in their collections, and in order not to be unfounded, we will give you a few examples.

Metallic shoes: what to wear with them?

Just like things, metallic shoes are an accent of a fashionable look, and therefore it is best to combine them with clothes and accessories in a not too bright colors. Multi-colored things, even in muted colors, also look bad with such shoes. If you have already made a purchase, but are not quite sure what to wear with metallic shoes, then give preference to classic tones in clothes. Against their background, metallic shoes look best.

Metallic bags 2017

For the new season, designers have created metallic bags for any situation. Perhaps this is the only trendy thing that has a place even in business wardrobe.

Metallic bags: what to wear with them?

It should be noted right away that in the new season, designers abolished the rule that shoes and bags must be the same color, so metallic bags 2017 can be combined with clothes and shoes in different colors. Again, you should not combine the accessory with too bright or multi-colored things, and if you are creating a total look in a space style, then all its components should be the same shade.

Space style jewelry

Many designers have chosen futuristic designs for their accessories, but of all the things that await you in their collections, we recommend that you pay attention to earrings. Massive metallic earrings are presented in many collections, and the most interesting models can be seen at Proenza Schouler, Altuzarra, Blamain and Osman.

Such jewelry can be worn in combination with both everyday and evening dresses. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to complement your look with two earrings - in the new season, one will be enough for a trendy look!

From retrofuturism to modern concepts -

we decided to find out why the space theme has been inspiring designers for half a century.

In fact, interest in space began long before Gagarin's flight. The impetus for this was the development of the genre of science fiction literature, which emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The famous “War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells and “The Lunar Trilogy” by Jerzy Zulawski were able to make people believe in the possibility of traveling beyond the planet. However, it was in the 60s of the twentieth century that the ideas of futurism firmly entered into daily life, and along with them architectural projects of the “future”, cars and furniture in the “space” style appear. Of course, this wave could not ignore the fashion industry.

The legendary Paco Rabanne is credited with a phrase that, perhaps, in the best possible way reflects the mood of the 60s: “ Ideal girl lives on another planet." Futuristic vision of the world, dreams of fantastic mechanisms and technologies, plans space travel... It will seem strange today, but in the middle of the twentieth century the world was, more than ever, captured by ideas about a utopian future - both on this planet and beyond.

The fashionable space race has started French designer André Courrèges created a collection called "Space Age" in 1964, which included sophisticated designs complemented by avant-garde accessories. However, when talking about futuristic fashion, we first of all remember Paco Rabanne: the designer, like no one else, was fascinated by the theme of space. The fruit of this passion was incredible sculptural suits and dresses made of metallic elements - today Raban’s creations are often included in the “cosmic” exhibitions of the world’s leading museums. It was he who developed the well-known image of “Barbarella” from the film of the same name with Jane Fonda: and although the picture itself caused a real flurry of disapproval from the public, the famous leotard dress forever entered not only the history of cinema, but also the history of fashion.

The name of Pierre Cardin is also strongly associated with the fashion for space futurism. The designer quite seriously explored the idea of ​​​​creating “clothes of the future.” He experimented with materials and textures, created new avant-garde silhouettes and complemented his looks with fancy accessories. Thus, Cardin dressed models in shiny vinyl dresses and suits made entirely of metal or plastic, high leather boots and even space helmets. Surprisingly, in the sixties, such images did not seem ridiculous or overly theatrical: on the contrary, Pierre Cardin clothes were extremely popular in Europe and America and were successfully served in the most fashionable stores.

By the mid-seventies, interest in unknown planets faded away slightly, but George Lucas's film " star Wars. Episode IV: New Hope" woke him up again. The space theme has returned to the catwalks. Thierry Mugler began experimenting with sculptural silhouettes in the sci-fi style: in the design of his dresses, he combined the atmosphere of a space odyssey with ideas Parisian Haute Couture. Mugler subsequently developed this theme more than once, again and again rethinking it in a new way. different elements avant-garde outfits - right up to the 90s. Today, we perceive the canonical images of a talented fashion researcher not so much as part of the fashion heritage, but rather as works of art.

In the eighties, futuristic themes remained a thing of the past: the pragmatic fashion for sports aerobics, acid colors, leg warmers, leggings and jackets with shoulder pads made designers forget about the starry sky for a while. However, not for long: space themes gradually begin to return in the mid-nineties. The music industry has a lot to thank for this. TLC's No Scrubs video, which has become a cult technological music video singer Björk's All Is Full Of Love and the equally famous video of Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson Scream once again return us to the world of futuristic ideas. From the late nineties to today presenters fashion houses beat again and again on the podium space theme. From Givenchy's cyborgs to Alexander McQueen's futuristic suits, from the avant-garde creations of Iris Van Herpen and Gareth Pugh to Valentino's constellation-embroidered capes and dresses, a recurring motif proves that the thought of space travel excites us today as much as it did on the day of Gagarin's first flight.

Space completely surrounds planet Earth, and in fact our planet is negligible even on the scale of the Milky Way galaxy. Despite this, the influence of space on fashion industry not immediately noticeable. At first glance, it may seem that there is a more influential figure in fashion than the entire universe, although in fact this is not the case.

Universe, stars, Sun, planets solar system, the Moon and of course the flights of astronauts to different time influenced the work of many designers. On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin set off on his first flight on the Vostok-1 spacecraft and for the first time in the world flew in orbit of our planet. Gagarin's flight around the Earth lasted only 108 minutes, but this event had a huge impact on fashion and the entire history of mankind.

Space and space style in fashion

After this event, Pierre Cardin, Andre Courrèges and many other designers began to experiment with images and actively introduce space style into fashion. Then films and television series on the theme of space travel multiplied, which prompted the further development of space style in clothing and accessories.

Some images are only vaguely reminiscent of space, in other cases, clothing copies the shape and elements of a space suit, and more recently, leggings, tops, T-shirts, shorts and sweatshirts, decorated with a scattering of stars, photographs of galaxies and nebulae, were at the peak of popularity.

Thanks to telescopes and interplanetary spacecraft, the fashion world has at its disposal many photographs in high quality. Distant galaxies, nebulae, star clusters and distant planets in the solar system are now clearly visible. Thanks to this, every girl can buy clothes in a space style.

Space materials and shades in fashion

The most advanced technologies and materials are used in space; they are not as familiar and comfortable as Genuine Leather and vicuna wool, but they have their own advantages. Thanks to new materials, clothing is durable, light and comfortable.

The color of materials for space-style clothing also matters. Solar panels, silver lining spaceships and the sparkle of spacesuits make silver fabrics an element of space style. Although in fact the space suits of real astronauts are not as silver as fashion clothes, but we'll talk about this next time.

Today we will not trace a clear chronology of the appearance of the space style. Instead, let's just look at the most successful fashionable images with elements of space style.

Inspired by the space age of the mid-20th century, many designers began to use the unparalleled theme of stars and planets in their projects: from wall clock up to cups.

This time influenced the imagination not only of scientists, but also of architects and decorators. In today's article we will present to your eyes stunning and extraordinary solutions for the decoration of apartments, which can give the atmosphere unparalleled charm and magnetism.
