The Future of Fashion In The Past Is The Present

Certain designers have a thing for delving in the past, particularly when it comes to forecasting the future. Our love of comedy show Mystery Science Theater 3000 helped us appreciate old-timey gem Clothing of The Future. The video highlights fashion of the future, err well in the year 2000, with some of America's greatest designers. And let's just say we let out our inner Crow T. Robot with our critiques of the video.


We don't wonder if those greatest designers are an awful lot like our current greats. We saw Marc Jacobs's Misplaced Heel, one of Marc's famed 1920's inspired slim dress suits, a See by Chloe Jumpsuit (or Normal Kamali jumpsuit for that matter), a Badgley Mischka gown, and a hair accessories that evokes a certain Rimmel light up lipgloss. It would seem that Clothing of The Future in 2000 is more like Clothing of the Present Spring 2008 than we would have ever guessed.
