I've seen the future and there's no tulle


What does your fashion future hold and will you be carrying a big gun?

For at least a century it seems, predictions for tomorrow's fashion and the military uniform have been intertwined.  Why was it no one could imagine going into space without lots of weapons, and with a few more clothing options?  Wouldn't people get bored after a while?  It seems that, like much of the architecture of the modern period, less was more. Much less.


Go-go boots and bikini bottoms...


Cleavage (and guns) for the girls...


And jumpsuits for everyone else.


Asymmetrical necklines...


and metallics...



Lots of metallics.

Actually, I think Blade Runner got it best: Spandex and bad hair...


...with a dash of the Forties (or something).


Sadly, nobody's fat in the future.  Sorry, plus-size people, it's off to the glue factory for you!


I really like this princess-seamed outfit, but would some cute earrings or a little tennis bracelet be too much to ask?

Readers, I ask you: How do you see yourself dressing thirty years hence?  Would you like more jumpsuits in your wardrobe, more stretch velvet and lurex, less clangy accessories and no more handbags?

You might as well ditch your dresses now.  I've seen the future and it isn't frilly.

Or is it?

For your viewing pleasure....





Happy Sunday, everybody!
