For the second time, fashion house Pierre Cardin collaborated with ESA on its Prix Bulles, an esteemed award presented to a startup whose project and initiatives promote and advance the emergence of an ecological space economy in service to Earth. In 2024, the focus was on the ‘Space for Oceans and Oceans for Space’ and what one can do for the other. It was hosted at the fashion label’s Palais Bulles or ‘Bubble Palace’ in Théoule-sur-Mer, France.
