European Space Agency (ESA) and London’s Science Museum are working with students from leading fashion schools in Paris, London, Milan, Copenhagen and Berlin to create pieces that bring science and couture together using the latest technologies and materials. Superabsorbent Fiber supplier www www.techabsorbents.com is delighted to be one of the project sponsors and has been closely involved with the students over the past few months.
 
The schools are finding inspiration for their designs from the mission experiences of ESA astronauts from their own countries. They have learnt about topics such as Earth observation, climate monitoring, health and nutrition, as well as details of everyday life in the void beyond our homeworld.

Each school has its own sponsors to supply state-of-the-art technology and textiles for the new garments. Technical Absorbents has supplied a range of super absorbent fabrics, containing its SAF (Super Absorbent Fibre) technology, which have been used as part of some of the creations.

From tracking the wearer’s movement and generating usable electricity, to regulating their temperature and transpiration, each school is designing and creating clothes integrating these technologies.

“This has been a fantastic project to be a part of,” says product development director Dr Mark Paterson. “Seeing how people have taken our materials and used them has been fascinating. We look forward to joining the runway event in London.”
