What will be wearing in 40 years?

I came across this video on youtube. It's one of the shorts you would see in movie theaters before the movie starts. It showcases fashion designers of the 30's idea of what people will be wearing in the year 2000. Take a look.


I personally think they came pretty close. I don't recall ever seeing a shirt with removable sleeves, but I have worn pants that have removable legs. Women wear see through garments all the time now, especially at the Oscars(Halle Berry on right).
I don't expect to see a head light in a woman's hair but women do primarily wear pants now. The men's design is a little more far off, however I personally think facial hair is more abundant than it was then plus they got the cell phone right and they even predicted the fanny pack, RIGHTTTT?

Now I'm going to predict the future of fashion in 2050. I don't want to go much further only because I hope to still be running this blog. If I remember I can comment on my thoughts. Who knows. Could be cool. If I'm not still around maybe an archaeologists will find my site. Anyway here goes.


Women

  1. Mostly form fitting clothes.

  2. One piece suits. Like "Tomb Raider"

  3. Skin will be a thing of the past, Covering the body will be the norm.

  4. Long dresses and Long skirts for special occasions only. No more mini's.

  5. Foot wear will become more and more comfortable, The high heel will be on its way out.

  6. Integration of electronics will be key. Shirts with notepads on the sleeves(LCD of course) and phones in the collar, unless they have already installed them behind our ears.

  7. Men

    1. Mostly form fitting shirts, with built in accessories.

    2. Collars will only be present at special occasions.

    3. Dress pants will reign supreme over casual jeans.

    4. Make up, Make up, Make up. I'm glad I will be an old timer by then. Cause I'm not wearing Make up.

    In general.

    1. Logos will be animated.

    2. No more buying multiple shirts in different colors. Their colors will change.

    3. Clothes will fold themselves.

    4. Clothes will not wrinkle.

    5. Clothes will be able to flash colors or display anything the wearer wants, from music videos to a sports play.
    6. Pockets and purses will be gone, everything you need will be either built into you or your clothes.

That's what I think. Now post your ideas.

Vogue cover racist? I think not!


This new Vogue cover(seen on above), featuring Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen has stirred up some controversial issues including racism and how America views the "Black Man". Well that's crap. This cover is not racist and it doesn't display the black man in a bad way.
People are claiming the cover compares Lebron and Giselle to King Kong and the helpless young blond woman, Ann Darrow. The comparison between a black man and an ape is a serious problem for most including me but that's not what there doing here. The title below them "Shape Issue Secrets of the Best Bodies Gisele & Lebron" give all the information needed to examine this cover and realize it's not an attempt to compare the tw0 to a big monkey and helpless woman. 1st Lebron's strong pose is not to show dominance of control over Gisele. It is to show off his strength athleticism and body. 2nd Gisele almost looks care free. If he was meant to be like King Kong, you would think that Gisele would show a little concern or fear even.
One other point you should consider while examining this cove. Gisele is Hispanic not Caucasian.
If you look at this cover and see racism, I'm sorry but you are a racist. Yes I'm white and from Mississippi. If you think that's the reason I don't see racism your racist. This Vogue cover is not racist it's just a picture of a Star Athlete and Super Model. Get over it, stop analyzing. It's just a magazine cover.
