1930s fashion predictions not to far off.

So surfing the web I found this video from the 1930s about fashion predictions for the lady of the year 2000. At first watching of the video I giggled and rolled my eyes. But upon watching the video several more times I found that their predictions weren't that far off. Watch to see what I mean.



The first outfit looks a bit more 1950s to me, but they weren't to far off with convertible clothing. With snaps and zippers coats can turn into light jackets easily. The third episode of The Fashion Show had the designers designing a coat for each season that could do more than just be a coat.



Andrew created a coat that could be short but if needed it could be pulled down longer for more coverage. Reversible clothing also runs along the lines of the first outfit's idea. So they really weren't that far off on this idea.

The next outfit I feel was spot on.



The sheer top dress. Popular since the 90s really, but becoming more classic in the 2000s. I don't feel its only purpose is the catch the guy though. Women are finding their shoulders sexy bits to show off, so these sheer tops are nice for that. But the parts on the breast kind of threw me. That is until I showed my mom the video and she blurted out "Well Madonna already did that!". LOL!



Humm, yeah kind of, but no I have seen that look somewhere else before. Oh wait! I know where!!!



Rupaul's Drag Race! Shannel wore this on the catwalk. Its not a look you easily forget. She even has the hair. Speaking of which, I think the video overshot that one by two decades.



The next outfit I feel once again overshot by several decades. The pantsuit was popular by the 40s and 50s. Lounging pantsuits, which look similar to the outfit in the video, were popular by then also. As for the shoes, they weren't that far off either.



Shoes of today are getting more and more shocking and gravity defying every time you open up a fashion magazine. As for the belt, I think we will just stick to our coats, scarves, and mittens for now. :-)



The next outfit, boom swish, has been a mainstay in women's clothing for a decades now also. The climate control they are talking about? Central air and heat I believe they call it these days. ;-)



The next outfit was overshot again by 2 decades along with the hair. Big hair and big sleeves were THE style in the 80s.



The next outfit is another convertible look as mentioned above. It seems the skirt can be shortened on the dress or the outfit changed all together. They weren't far off on their guess with this one. The light bulb however...cell phone perhaps? Lighter maybe?

And this last one, spot on spot on. Granted portable phones and radios were already a thing back in the 80s, and men carried bags as well, I don't it was more prominent than it is now. Men have got their phones.



Men have got their "radios" or ipods if you will.



And now men have got their bags or murses if you will.



Where they can put their coins, keys, and candy for cutie. As for the no shaving, colors, or ties? I think that's purely left up to preference these days.

So the designers back in the day were not that far off on their thoughts. Maybe its in a designer's blood to think similar. Or maybe some designers saw this video. Whichever the case may be, it seems that fashion begets fashion. I'd love to see a video made today of what designers today think will be in fashion for the lady of 2070 or even better 3000...if we live past 2012 that is. Well I hope you liked my little fashion post today and woot it isn't even Monday. :-D Talk to you lovelies later.

Ohhh, before I forget, while searching for Rupaul's Drag Race I came across this picture.



Don't you just love it. LOL! I think its just too much. LOL! I love Rupaul, even though he could out-woman me any day. *sigh* Oh wells, work it girl! :-) Gotta dash now. Tori and Dean are on!!!

Loves ya,
Mouse 8:>
