Lauren Sanchez, fiancée of Jeff Bezos, aims to redefine what women wear in space as part of an all-female crew on a Blue Origin flight. Historically, spacesuits have been tailored for men, and women had to make do with limited options. Sanchez's initiative comes as she prepares for her flight alongside notable female figures, seeking to empower women in science and space travel. Collaborating with fashion designers Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim, Sanchez's new flight suit represents a significant step toward inclusivity and female representation in space exploration.

She wanted to know if they would work with Blue Origin, Mr. Bezos' space company. I was like: right away! Mr. Garcia said over Zoom.
