along with the Japanese slipper as used by Samurais, Dutch carved wooden clogs with Birkenstocks, and even a folded newspaper hat, once used. With this curation, Eldina wanted to issue a challenge to brands who simply lift from the aesthetics of workwear, to instead push it to a more interesting place of function.
Whether in the context of testing humans’ ability to survive, or even the far riskier endeavour of simply helping them to connect,.

There was no chance, however, because even at the Smithsonian, the most valuable item in their entire collection is their NASA spacesuit. But the X-ray is interesting in and of itself. They still use it as a kind of proof control, to check if there are any pins and suchlike left in the suit, which would be dangerous in flight.
