# Scientifically Cosmic Fashion The Slow Factory 2014 Collection is Inspired by Satellite Images By Meghan Young | Published 2013-11-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slow-factory-2014-collection References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2013/11/nasa-fashion-line.html) & [slowfactory](http://slowfactory.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solgaard-x-startalk). Essentially, the prints found on the pieces making up the Slow Factory 2014 Collection have been derived from [Terra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melissa-x-maldito) satellite images and Hubble telescope images. Each sub-collection is named after its direct source.

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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cosmic-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create fashion collections inspired by satellite images and celestial bodies. - **Data-driven Prints:** Potential to incorporate real data into fashion prints, offering unique and personalized designs. - **Handcrafted Silk Scarves:** Growing demand for artisanal fashion products like handcrafted silk scarves with unique designs. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can leverage cosmic-inspired designs to create innovative collections and attract niche markets. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Opportunity for manufacturers to explore new techniques to incorporate data-driven prints into fabric production. - **Artisanal Craftsmanship:** Growing demand for handcrafted fashion products offers opportunities for artisans to specialize in unique designs and techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Archaeology-Inspired Eco-Friendly Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aelis.md) - [Space-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solgaard-x-startalk.md) - [Winter-Ready Sci-Fi Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-columbia-collection.md) - [Cosmically Inspired Haircare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-nova-hair-care.md) - [Cosmos-Inspired High-Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleste-collection.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Luminous Galactic-Themed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-couture.md) - [Celestial-Inspired Packaging Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-teal.md)
