President Claudia Sheinbaum drove immediately into the stage set up inside a Mexican air force hangar in Mexico City, giving the world its first glimpse of the Olinia Uno, a 100% Made-in-Mexico electric vehicle.

The garment forms a key piece of the AxEMU spacesuit developed for NASA’s Artemis program. Astronauts step into this form-fitting piece first. Light gray fabric stretches across the body in a streamlined silhouette while clear tubing traces deliberate paths over the torso, arms, and legs. A single red stripe runs down one sleeve as a quiet nod to Prada’s activewear roots.
