The Future of Fashion is….the Future!

Living in New York City, I get to see all the hipsters come out to play. Lucky me!

I’m not a hipster myself, but I know how to spot them. I know about the tight pants, the big glasses, The Misshapes, etc. But I had NO idea it is now cool, trendy and well….hip, to look like this.

WTF is this? Is this guy for real? Are those teal shorts for real? Is that netted, mesh tank top, for real? ARE THOSE GLASSES FOR REAL?

Apparently, they are and so is he. And so are a lot of other hep cats living in Brooklyn and will be soon scattered throughout the entire country, I’m sure. And, thus is the beginning of “Fashion Futurism,” a trend that mixes bright and ballsy ’80’s fashion with a Jetsons type vibe.

Kanye West, who has helped begin the recent fad, has been sporting a very ugly yet interesting pair of “sunglasses” (although they don’t do much for the sun without actual shades) in his new video. Designer Alain Mikli is gonna have a lot more business now, which is good for him, but bad for me, because this means I’ll have to see these things planted on faces up close and in person.

Also becoming hot in the Fashion Futurism trend are dresses like these (seriously, who would buy these) and Trons which are not that bad. Kinda cool, kinda retro. I can dig it.

Okay, so I’m not a huge fan of the whole futuristic thing, but it doesn’t surprise me that hipsters are now turning back to the ’80’s for inspiration on a whole new level.

As long as we don’t all start dressing like this, it’ll be fine.

Now that’s just going overboard.
