Space Fashion

The December 2006 issue of Harper's Bazaar will feature a multi-page section showcasing the Future of Fashion. The interesting part is that they chose to do the fashion shoot at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL.

What does this say about the persistent connection between spaceflight and generalized concepts of "the future"? And why do they have a Mercury-era astronaut running around in silver? Think about it as you look at the online photos at Flckr. The magazine should hit stands soon if it hasn't already.

Thanks to Jessica for finding this great cultural tidbit.
