The cosmos has been quite influential in fashion decisions and designs of late, the most recent involving the Slow Factory 2014 Collection. But instead of relying on a random arrangement of stars and colors, this line has pulled real data straight from a reliable source: NASA.
Essentially, the prints found on the pieces making up the Slow Factory 2014 Collection have been derived from Terra satellite images and Hubble telescope images. Each sub-collection is named after its direct source. Licensed under Creative Commons CC-By, each silk scarf has been handcrafted in Montreal and New York.
The nebulas and star formations of the Slow Factory 2014 Collection would enchant anyone. Not to mention that the dark colors are perfect for winter.
