Emily Kimball
Abstract
This paper looks into the futuristic nature of Space Age fashion of the 1960s and how tastes and trends of the era made their way into the designs and ideas within the television program Star Trek. It intends to explore the use of modern and innovative textiles seen in the costumes of Star Trek, in both the original series as well as other incarnations of the program, and how modernity and contemporary styles of the times during which the series was being produced affected the designs.
