“There’s something about the time of the space program that just gives this feeling of possibility.” “The collection is very nostalgic,” Coach’s creative director, Stuart Vevers, told Racked last year of the space-age limited collection he designed that incorporated the NASA logo.
The space agency’s well-known “meatball” and “worm” signifiers-the former being “NASA” over a blue sphere and the latter just the acronym in undulating typography-seem to be caught up in the waves of logo-philia and nostalgia washing over fashion, sweeping along disparate elements like old band tees, chunky Fila sneakers, and the flaming title of skate bible Thrasher. Vans says it’s commemorating NASA’s 60th anniversary, but over at least the past couple years, it’s become plain trendy to borrow NASA’s logos. The teen-loved skate brand will release classic styles, including its popular Old Skool and Sk8-Hi, as well as clothes and accessories, designed with NASA branding and space-age themes. You’ll still need shoes, of course, but fear not: Vans releases its new “Space Voyager” collection Friday. Heads up, though: That parka will set you back $1,878, and the pants $1,265. Or, assuming you missed the jackets, you could opt for a NASA parka from Heron Preston. Like a kid getting ready for space camp, you could, if you wanted, throw on some NASA-branded tech pants by New York designer Heron Preston in the morning, pair them with a NASA t-shirt from Urban Outfitters, and maybe add a Coach letterman jacket with a NASA patch if you grabbed one last year.
