Buzz Aldrin Becomes First Astronaut to Walk at NYFW: Mens
The 87-year old legendary moon walker took his talents to the catwalk last Monday to sport space-inspired, Neal Graham-designed attire at New York Fashion Week: Men’s. Joining the strikingly youthful octogenarian on the runway was fellow science/space enthusiast and all-around smart person Bill Nye, who also served as the show’s announcer. The show, themed “Life on Mars: Fall-Winter 2035,” featured an opening lecture by Nye, which addressed his thoughts regarding the feasibility of human settlement on the red planet. In short? No $@%&-ing way.
