startorialist: I am BEYOND EXCITED about the new fall collection from Slow Factory launching on the equinox today. The entire line is dedicated to women in science who inspire and features amazing women from the past and present from Amelia Earhart to Katherine Johnson to Mae Jemison. The collection consists of the photos above printed on high quality fabrics that are eco-friendly and fair-trade based. Founder Celine Semaan is an advocate for slow fashion: high quality fashion that lasts and also a reminder to slow down and look at the big picture. Right now in science, the big picture is that women are still underrepresented in most fields, and the fraction of women of color is even lower. It is especially bad in astronomy and physics, as Emily and I can vouch for first hand. I love that these scarves highlight a spectrum of women who have made significant contributions to our ability to explore the universe, some better known than others.
