SAMA — a women’s coffee brand inspired by Samantha Cristoforetti, the first woman to drink espresso in space. Its bold grunge aesthetic disrupts conventional notions of femininity, emphasizing freedom, courage, and independence. A t-shirt featuring Samantha in a spacesuit becomes the visual embodiment of this philosophy. The raw black-and-white graphics, vintage texture, and loose silhouette transform the merchandise into a symbol of breaking free from established boundaries.
The main focus is an image of Samantha Christoforretti in a spacesuit, rendered with the effect of archival photography. The grain, wear, and uneven printing create the feeling of a vintage artifact.
