    The Italian fashion house will work to design the suits alongside another private company, Axiom Space.

    In a press release, Axiom said Prada would bring expertise with materials and manufacturing to the project.

    One astronaut told the BBC he thought Prada was up to the challenge due to their design experience.

    That experience has been built not only on the catwalks of Milan but also through Prada’s involvement in the America’s Cup sailing competition.

    “Prada has considerable experience with various types of composite fabrics and may actually be able to make some real technical contributions to the outer layers of the new space suit,” according to Professor Jeffrey Hoffman, who flew five Nasa missions and has carried out four spacewalks.

    In a press release, Artemis and Prada said they would use “innovative technologies and design” to allow “greater exploration of the lunar surface than ever before”.
