Italian luxury fashion house Prada has partnered with US private space company Axiom Space to create a spacesuit for the astronauts of NASA’s Artemis III lunar mission. 

This designer spacesuit, known as ‘Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU)’, was unveiled during the International Astronautical Congress (IAC), which took place in Milan, Italy, between October 14-18, 2024. 

In a press release Lorenzo Bertelli, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Prada Group said: “We’ve shared our expertise on high-performance materials, features, and sewing techniques, and we learned a lot. I’m sure we’ll continue to explore new challenges, broaden our horizons, and build new scenarios together.”
