In 1938, Vogue magazine asked
nine designers to look forward to the fashions of the year 2000, which
at least three of them did in a way that obviously involved beer
goggles.
First we have Gilbert Rhode
gentleman of 2000 AD, who has dispensed with jacket and tie (and
razor) in favour of Batman's utility belt and a suit woven with
beryllium threads to soak up "omega waves" to provide air
conditioning. Around his neck hangs what we today could only
call a cell phone. Unfortunately, the antenna for it is the
thing he's wearing on his head. |
