It’s really amazing to see how right they, even though not exactly right. Yes, today dresses (and clothes in general) can be dressed up and down for evening, for example, the “hair raise” actually took place, but in the 1970s and 1980, while dresses of transparent net are not something that uncommon today. We loved the girl that was wearing a light bulb attached to her head, it somewhat reminded us of the Google glasses. Anyway, they were quite wrong when it came to

men’s fashion. Suits and ties did not disappear, but they do come with phone and radio (and so much more). Wow, amazing how they could forecast all these things.

Of course, predictions are made regarding the status quo of the era they are made in. We can not invent things that have not been invented. In the 1930, people cold not have predicted the invention of the computer. If they could have, they would have invented it.

The things that are happening in an era and the social advances make us rethink the future: in the 1920s (as you can see in the picture) it was believed that the radio would play a huge role, because they could not predict cell phones. It is amazing that they predicted video calls and if look closely at the picture, you will see how the video call was connected to a globe (something like the GPS today).

In the 1970s, it was thought that in the future people would fly around carrying some sort of jet propellers attached to their backs. That was, of course, influenced by the recent moon and space explorations of that time.

Today we have a lot of wearable technology, we have so-called e-textiles, which are used to create effects like making a dress glow when you receive a phone call, but these are all just gadgets incorporated into clothes. These textiles go great with smaller and smaller processors and chips that help you improve your life, especially for people who do sports or business.

Wearable technology could make sports fairer, could make story telling different and will make human interaction different. How that would be, is a thing we can’t predict at this moment.

We believe that in the future people will discover a new sense of style, this is what we always try to bring up with our blog, where each individual discovers how he can use fashion to create style. Using something just for the sake of it is useless, this is why we want to help people discover and fulfill their own needs and desires.

As we said earlier, technology and style should go together hand in had in fields such as sports or medicine. We think it is possible that in the future there will be a code such as the driving signs that the whole world knows. For example, if someone’s clothes turn a certain color, everyone on the street should know that person is having some sort of medical attack and call the ambulance before the symptoms are made visible.

Can technology be stylish? Yes. But technology should help people or process things, and that’s how it should be incorporated into fashion.

In the end, we can only remind you that you know how they say: “The future is ours to create.”
