Got a kick out of this.....
"one designer goes so far as to think that skirts will disappear entirely!"
Men's outfits will be "fitted with a container for coins, key's and candy for cuties!"
The first dress is pretty cool.

This topic makes me think of the scene in "The Time Machine" with its scene of a fashion store mannequin and its
ever-shortening hemlines

Actually all the women's items wouldn't really have looked out of place today. See-through dresses and so on. The stars of today have worn less, worse and more transparent garments. Aside from the last item, of course, which was outlandish then and still would be now. Shows how little fashion has changed since the thirties.

That wasn't fashion, that was a designer's fantasy.
Much like the "couture" pieces that appear on the catwalks today, they never went much further. As always, I would wonder about the cost of some of these creations.
The shoes, however, could be found in a store near you in 2015.

Whenever I see outlandish outfits paraded down a catwalk, I remember the I Love Lucy episode when they went to Paris and Lucy insisted on having a ridiculously overpriced dress from a fashion show. Ricky conspired to have a model walk down the runway wearing an old burlap potato sack with holes cut for arms and neck, and she loved it because it had a Paris fashion tag.

I predict in the future hemlines will get shorter and fabrics thinner, thanks to global warming.

I predict that in the future, fashions and hemlines will fluctuate.

"On a limb."
