In this British Pathé clip, fashion designers predict what the future of fashion will be.

It mostly involves removable sleeves and adjustable-length gowns, though there is a nifty cantilevered heel design shown.

I particularly like the woman dressed in the Star Wars Imperial Navy uniform. The bra – or bodice, technically – at the bottom looks kind of uncomfortable, though.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
