Dressing in space presents challenges most of us will never have to face. But that hasn't stopped the Hyper Space Couture Design Contest, meant to showcase clothes that look great in zero gravity as well as on boring old earth. Sketches are due August 15th and the winning designs will be presented at Tokyo fashion week in the fall. The dress pictured is by Tokyo deigner Eri Matsui, who told the New York Times, "I hope 'fashion in space' makes everybody happy."
