Wow. I think I just spent 3 or so hours just surfing the endless net. But! I did find some really awesome things.
A couple days ago, I went off to the fabric store and bought several different fabrics. I'm hoping to make maybe 2 new outfits before April. I found this amazing blue fabric which I will not speak more of because it's going to be a surprise. I really love it! Anyways, my theme today is outer space - partly as an inspiration for my upcoming sewing projects! (And we can't go wrong with cyber yeah?)
I did a bunch of googling and here's what I came up with...
I found some actual clothing by designers that had the concept "Outer space/spacesuits meets fashion"! (Some of the sources I'm not quite sure about.. but I'll do my best!)
Here's an amazing futuristic outfit that I found while searching:
I'm just in love with the design and concept.
This knitted dress has the best details on it!!
I never use to be fond of such "crazy" designs, but now, I think it's safe to say that I have crossed over.
These are outfits that were in a fashion show in Japan with the concept of outer space:
I love the purple and black outfit in the background here..
I want to own the outfit and the plushie.... (this outfit is so inspiring, don't you think?)
I found this interesting site called Space Tourism Society New York. If you're around the area, I highly encourage you to visit the website. (They host an interesting club event that's space-themed~)
This picture was taken from their site...
After searching for a while, I thought I'd look into our well-known cyberesque clothing label Cyberdog. (I'm glad they simplified and revamped their OHP btw..)
Oh did I find some fun dresses there! Here's a couple:
Black UFO Dress
Size: n/a (one size)
Colors: Black (though the website says it's available in pink too)
Cost: $130.41 (original prices in GBP)
Yellow Moon Dress
Size: n/a (one size)
Colors: Fluorescent yellow
Cost: $130.41 (original prices in GBP)
And last of all...
Who isn't familiar with the video game Space Channel 5? It's a music-related game with an outer space theme! Our star/host in the game is the cute Ulala!
I love this game actually. And since it goes in hand with my theme this week, I've decided to include it in my post. Also, her outfits are very cute and spacey!!
If I were to ever cosplay in my life, I would love to cosplay as Ulala. haha Speaking of which, here is a Japanese girl dressed up as Ulala:
And to sum up my post, there is also an interesting article that I came across online if anyone is interested in reading more about spacewear in fashion, please read "On the Runway: Spacewear Meant to Dazzle, Even in Zero Gravity".
Who else wants to just dress up in bubble-like clothing and go rave?
