Fashion took to the universe and looked to the future in this month’s SMoCA Nights Party, which centered around Sputnik. Vibrant colors, and silver, gold, and black; sleek dresses, face paint and geometric designs—all could be seen on the fair futuristic ladies who took a space walk down the runway. Created to accompany the museum’s “Space is the Place” show, the art, fashion, and music featured were intended not only to generate fun, but also to inform the public on the successes and failures of space exploration. The museum has been providing similar instruction and entertainment since 2003 through all four of its annual themed Nights Parties.
