Race To Space With Yulia Yefimtchuk+

I’ll be completely honest: having never paid much attention during history class, the most I probably ever learned about the space race was from that song from the Even Stevens musical episode. That is, until Ukraine-based designer Yulia Yefimtchuk+ unveiled her space-race inspired Spring/Summer 2015 collection.

After Fall/Winter 2015’s political slogans, geometric shapes, and Constructivist design, Yefimtchuk one-upped herself with another collection that packs just as much punch. Inspired by the scientific achievements of the ‘60s, the clothing is dipped in sulphuric reds and deep-space blacks, while exaggerated pointed collars and boxy cuts look launched out of a Mary Quant collection.

The Printed Dress displays a NASA jacket-esque patch of the artwork of Alexander Rodchenko, one of the most recognized artists of the Soviet era. The Short-Sleeve Tee reads, “K MAPCY,” which translates as “to Mars.” One thing’s for sure: this collection’s coming on our next Virgin Galactic voyage, and on our summer weekend trips, too.
