[i]Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon in 1969 — the second man to ever do so (after Neil Armstrong). Fast forward to present day. It's the year 2017 and the iconic 87-year-old former astronaut came out of retirement to walk ... in Nick Graham's fall/winter 2017 menswear show. To be more precise, he moonwalked — and did it to the deafening sound of cheers and applause and against a backdrop of real moving imagery of Mars inside NYC's Skylight Clarkson studios. He modeled a futuristic, space-age-y ensemble: a shiny silver bomber jacket and sneakers, complete with a black tee featuring an emblem designed to mimic the NASA logo with the words of his initiative of his foundation — "Get Your A-- to Mars." And that brings us to how all of this started. "This collection is influenced by Apollo 11 — all the silver, it's what guys are going to look like on Mars in 30 years," designer Nick Graham says prior to the show. "I just love space, and the last show I did was in Havana, so for this one, I was like, 'How far can we go?' and Mars is 35 million miles away depending on the day of the week."[/i]
