Space Age Pipe Dreams

Space Age Fashion (and architecture) are some of my favorite styles in the history of design. The Cold War and space exploration set the U.S. against the USSR, and the runway results were precise tailoring, clean lines, futuristic shapes, geometric prints, tunic pant suits, cut outs, white boots and mini dresses with linear silhouettes. Prime players of the movement included Courrèges, Pierre Cardin, Emanuel Ungaro, Paco Rabanne and Rudi Gernreich.

Excited for my Courreges book on the way!
