What steps can we take to ensure that the 2015 fashions of Back to the Future Part II become a reality?

Is it too late to act on this?

Also - is it intrinisicaly impossible to escape your own time when inventing future fashions for films? Even doing this for historical dramas seems to beyond the capabilities of most costume and make up artists.

I think Dune and Blade Runner mostly escape their own time only to look at the 30s and 40s respectively.

I think the main thing is...powerlaces. it can't be that hard, surely.

Get to it, whizzo.

seriously...if you fund it--they will tighten to fit, automatically.

Well Nike or someone invented some trainer that replaced the laces with a kind of twisting dial system (which could presumably be motorised) but they were a bit of a flop.

Anyway, that's technology. I was talking more about style.

PUMA DISC whatever.

uh, style THRU technology...

the BttFptII style was...t-shirt and jeans [w/ pockets pulled out], self-fitting+drying bomber jacket and, sort of, holographic baseball cap?

to ensure it? wear a t-shirt and jeans and pull your pockets out and...

One thing is certain about fashion in the future. We will all be clad in skintight catsuits at all time, according to most movies set int he future. Perhaps this is due to the zero gravity in spacecraft. It must wreak havoc on terrestrial notions of hemlines and tailoring.

Search: Jean Paul Gaultier. Then destroy him.

I want to look like I am in TRON!!!

TRON is brill.

Working out the technology for self-drying clothing is urgent and key.

I saw a DeLorean in safeway's car park this morning.

Sod the clothes. We want HOVERBOARDS!

Unfortunately, current technology looks more like Flash Gordon's rocket cycle but there's 12 years left to perfect the design.

i'll stick with me skateboard for now, thanks.

DeLorean! Whoooo!

I've found for 'future' clothes design you can't go wrong with minimalism. Also synthetics will be seen as plebby as natural materials become a bigger status symbol due to scarcity.

"how the matrix ripped off Tron"

― Alan (Alan), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Surely the other way round Suzy. Synthetics = made from oil = finite resource, natural fabrics = made from plants/animals = renewable resource.

I'm not saying that snobbishness makes any rational sense, RT. Silk blings, neoprene doesn't.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:53 (twenty-two years ago)

haha.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Why offer a rational explanation for it then?
