Hey, friends!

While preparing for a new NFZ Fashion Pitch we'll keep in touch with you here 😉 telling the ongoing news, insights from the first season and something interesting from the world of fashion.
Let's go!

Have you ever thought about how high are the perspective of fashion sector?
We'd say, sky-high. Literally.

🚀 What comes to your mind when you think about space?
NASA, rockets, zero gravity, Elon Musk... But humanity won't make it on Mars 👽 without space suits and special textiles.

On February 19, 2022 the NG-17 Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled to launch aboard on Antares rocket from Wallops Island, Virginia (USA). Among the many tonnes of supplies and equipment it will deliver one unusual package: electronic textile swatches embedded with impact and vibration sensors. Soon after the arrival at the International Space Station, a robotic arm 🦾 will start a real time testing. New textile is supposed to give a sense of touch to a person while being in pressured spacesuit! 🤩 Textile sensors should endure the harsh weather of low Earth orbit.
Fingers crossed for success🤞

💫 That means Mars fashion is coming!

Maybe among our Generation-Z talents we'll have a future space-designer 🧑‍🚀 or innovative space-fabric inventor! Who knows!!
Let's dream big, and always be inspired with what we're doing!
