As Lunar Module pilot for NASA’s historic Apollo 11 mission, Buzz Aldrin flew to the moon and back in a space capsule. Now, the former fighter pilot, aerospace engineer, bestselling author and reality-show contestant is setting his sights on a different kind of capsule—the kind you only hear about in fashion.
Together with Sprayground, a New York-based accessories label, the second human to set foot on the moon has created his “first and only fashion collaboration”: a “Mission to Mars”-themed capsule line—which is to say, small in scope—that features a parka, a solar-panel backpack, a duffel bag, a baseball cap and gloves—all emblazoned with a colorful assortment of patches, including one featuring Aldrin’s face and the words “Moon, Mars, and Beyond.”
