Utter Lunar-cy

Shabd Simon-Alexander Bodysuits and Leggings

In honor of the moon landing 40 years ago today, we wanted to launch a little something special into your atmosphere.

NYC artist Shabd Simon-Alexander channels a galaxy far, far away with her bodysuits, leggings, crop tops, and bike shorts inspired by Hubble telescope pics.

Originally created as accent pieces for a fashion photo shoot, the cosmic collection proved so popular it’s now sold in limited runs from her Brooklyn apartment.

The sheer awesomeness is in the complicated hand-dying process — the designer uses upward of ten colors — which makes each piece look like a lunar module colliding with a star.

We love it because it feels like a second skin and looks like an insane dance outfit.

And is suitable for taking small steps or giant leaps.
