More space tourism fashion

Almost exactly a year after examining what the well-dressed space tourist will wear, the New York Times reexamines the subject, this time looking at what designer Philippe Starck is proposing for Virgin Galactic. His current design is pretty basic: a “plastic-looking bodysuit with attenuated gloves and a dome helmet”, according to the Times. But that’s not his first design: he originally suggested that SpaceShipTwo passengers fly in the buff. Fortunately, “the prospect of what denuded passengers would look like in zero gravity made him reconsider.”
