Space Case

Maybe we still have last month’s solar eclipse on the brain, but it seems that (in some sort of cosmic coincidence) the fashion world decided that they were in the mood to flee earth this season. Instead of focusing on the glitz and glamour of sequins and sparkles that we typically look for in fall, designers were looking towards super shiny patent leathers, perspex, and plenty of space-age silver. It’s no secret that fashion often draws inspiration from the cultural climate, and for fall, it seemed as though everyone was paying tribute to the intergalactic goings-on. Between Coach's stellar NASA-themed collection to Mugler’s Blade Runner-inspired pieces, and even those now-infamous $10,000 Saint Laurent boots, we are getting major interstellar vibes—or maybe it was just that out-of-this-world price tag?
Regardless, it quickly became clear that the optimism and high-shine of the golden age of space travel was back in full force. And although this trend may seem a little out there, it’s actually super approachable and easy to incorporate into your closet.
An astronaut-inspired wardrobe doesn't have to be limited to spacesuits and space boots, although there are a number of spacey metallic booties which will look great paired with everything from denim to midiskirts. And since statement earrings are still a selfie favorite, why not invest in some geometric shapes or cosmic swirls for a subtle nod to 'Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century'?
We curated some of our top intergalactic pieces right here. So, buckle up—we’re heading to outer space...
