•examples Bradley Quinn [<<] ‘Jules ‘Jules Verne writes in his publication ‘From the Earth to the Moon’ in 1865, that spacesuits characters a nineteenth-century fashion fantasy.’10 An example some decades later depicts ‘traveling in space, wearing an amour-like metal suit with a glass helmet, carrying radio transmitters and oxygen tanks,’11 said Quinn.
In 1936, Elsa Schiaparelli presented fashion exhibits that included prints of thermometers that gauge a wearer’s passion and celebrated contemporary technologies such as the telegraph and radio.12 She also collaborated with industry, working with French textile producer Colcombet to create a ‘glass cape’ from their Rhodophane material in 1934.
