Ever wonder how the world of the long run will dress? It seems a well-liked subject reaching back at the very least to the Victorians. Some creative individuals looked into the gap to predict what strange and unfamiliar inventions we might embrace. Lots of them predicted years which have now passed (or nearly so), so we’re in a position to higher judge their accuracy. And the result is unquestionably a combination.
Starting from individualism to short skirts to antenna hats, every era had its own view of where we were headed. The nineteenth c saw a way forward for practical clothing that allowed us to be energetic and functional, but still highly decorative. Post-WWI expected technology to take over, changing our fashions to maintain up with flight and adventure. Within the Mid-century we are able to see plans for huge advances in inventions, taking us to space and broadcasting it to our wrists, all while our clothing keeps us comfortable at home. However the Nineteen Sixties and Nineteen Seventies foresaw a darker future, full of environmental dangers we might be forced to beat. From unique and easy clothing to unisex tunics, these predictions tell us as much in regards to the era they got here from as they do where we’re headed.
So where will we be in one other 10 or 100 years? Or, higher yet, where do YOU think we’ll be? The thought of Retro Futurism is removed from defunct, though perhaps it has change into more practical.

One thing I've never gotten over is how even modern books produced on a history of fashion seem to misrepresent what is popular today. After going through the last 300 years of fashion they often get to the 1980's and decide that the best examples of our time are from top designers on a runway, despite the fact that most of us then and now think they look ridiculous. It would be more familiar to see skinny jeans or baggy sweaters instead of Paris fashion week's wildest. Always made me wonder how people of the past would react if they knew a lot of people now assume everyone from all walks of life were wearing the French Court's Sunday best to get groceries.

Oh, Nicole, this was such a treat! I enjoy your presentations immensely, as you take us along in your fashion time machine to different eras. Your expertise is so appreciated, and you combine that with such talent and elan, they always seem to kick-start my own creativity. This look at how the past imagined the future is a hoot, and I remember very well when Rudi Gernreich was prognosticating (as well as his infamous monokini). Furthermore, when you use terms like "swanning around", I always feel an instant twinge of kinship.
Many thanks for enriching our lives in such a thoroughly delightful manner.

Puffer coats are tubular. Some things were spot on like wigs.????technology was interesting, wrist gadget!? Wow!

I'm surprised you didn't mention paper clothing that they tried to convince us were the fashion of the future… Personally, I'd love to wear the styles of the Middle ages now and then, not too elaborate, but something not pants and tee shirt. I used to complain about the uniforms of my catholic school but I'm wearing a uniform in a lot of ways, right this moment. I have all these skills and I never seem to use them.

They never anticipated that most people would become slobs…that there would come a day when the only way to tell who's homeless is by the smell…

Oh by the way some safety helmets have built in Bluetooth to signal an emergency service if you have fallen off your bike. So the antenna helmet is not as crazy as you thought.

The chicken dance was invented in the 50s ????

Here's a film of those 1939 outfits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvtxFFj6eDY

I think people will be talking about leggings and boots as dressing masculine. Like women did in the 1890s. I actually did my senior seminar about civil war fashion.

Seeing all this talk from back in the day about the predicted future of feminism sort of gives me hope. The idea of women as a whole being active and living fulfilling independent lives almost must've seemed fictional, and yet it's essentially the world we live in.
Makes you wonder how many of today's "outlandish" ideas will come to be realized…
Universal income anyone?

working with children of all ages, it is just hoodies and tracksuits all over

why don't I have a driver flying me around ?! ???? the louisville journal predicted the ugly Yezzy shoes with pointed heel behind it omg????. I think the 60s prediction of elasticated bands and comfy sweats and leggings in unisex one size fits most was spot on .

Wish I had some of those. NGL.

Loved this video! I will now be dreaming up wacky retrofuturist outfits for the next few weeks

About pipe-organs being popular, to be fair we do use a lot of keyboards and synthetic music.
diewasserlaeuferin
Some of these ideas strongly remind me of Star Wars esthetics somehow
anthony linton
if you have missed out head over to rob scallions channel and watch him hook a computer up to an organ and do some crazy stuff. pipe organs are dope yo!!!

Thanks to you I now own a Monmouthshire cap. Love the channel.

Pipe organs are popular among goths so…

This topic kind of reminds me of how kids see fashion and takes me back to when lots of girls I knew loved to sketch and "design" clothes. No limits to the imagination whatsoever. Or even the total opposite – the current trends, but with colour twists and weird prints.

10:55 organs are already the coolest thing ever, people are just too cowardice to admit it (i jest, but also i do love Organs for a variety of reasons, they're one of my favorite instruments)
Jay Hackett
10:51 Pretty sure there was an organist on Tiktok who got called in for a rock concert after a band overheard her during soundcheck last year so we're off to a good start! (Also Phantom Of The Opera Overture still rocks hard, prove me wrong in 2028 XDD)

I'd wear an antenna hat if it let me get a decent wifi signal.

That "lucite" dress would make a lovely wedding gown.

They got some of the 1950s hats right.

I thought pipe organs already were the coolest thing ever!
MrToradragon
Maybe the predictions of 1880's wouldn't be so off if ti wouldn't be for two world wars that had resulted into downfall of our civilization, had created massive trauma, shortages, and made everything purely functional, plus had resulted into many totalitarian regimes heavily relying on working class.

My daring prediction is that the future of men's fashion will be a t-shirt and jeans!
Janet Burkett
Very interesting as is always is. Thanks

Seamless underwear anyone?

A neighbour of mine works with bio hacking and has a chip in his wrist that allows him to open his office door and pay by card, and smart watches have already come a long way, so the day where we don’t necessarily have to carry a phone with us may not be too far away.
Priss Asagiri
@15:31 That. Man. FUCKS. He’s come to give candy to cuties and steal your girlfriend and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop this man.
