Futuristic is the word

I perviously posted about "Jetson" or Lady Gaga Dresses for the future. I found a really cute bag made by new designer Pauric Sweeney. Here is a article from Elle.

After stints as an architect, a furniture designer, and a ready-to-wear designer, Sweeney began making graphic clutches and purses in 2005, when he relocated from London to a palazzo in Florence to be closer to the tanneries in the area. Mixing up to 10 exotic skins—such as crocodile, alligator, stingray, and calfskin—on one piece, Sweeney created a patchwork of neoprenes and nylons for the Special 16 totes, perfectly in tune with the season’s neon-bright palette. “The colors came out of my subconscious, I think—I am a child of the ’80s, after all,” he says. “But the method and the madness of the pattern mirrors Cage’s volatile but measured sound in Imaginary Landscape No. 4, 1951.” The set includes bubble-gum pink shoulder bags with triangular puzzle-piece embroidery and yummy liquid gold carryalls—a nod to Cage’s futuristic style. “The idea of combining all those textures and colors is chaotic, but I think the overall effect is quite the opposite.” We couldn’t agree more.

How I love being ahead

Fall's Top Trends
Menswear, neon, rich fabrics, futuristic shapes, '80s glam, and tough luxe were among the top trends seen on the runway for fall 2009.

The space age fashion era

Growing up I watched the Jetsons and even in the 80's the Jetsons seemed like the future SO far far away.

Maybe not as far away as I thought. Nevermind flying cars (we are JUST starting to care about the enviroment).

Instead of hydrogen fueled cars--we'll stick with more gas for MPG. We dont even have 100% solar powered lights.

But clothes? They seem to be a little ahead on what the future is supposed to be like.

Loads of fabric and serious puff sleeves with assymetrical shapes and silver, gold fabric.

Not to mention shoes that are equally futuristic.

I love fashion, but if designers are going to go all out on the space path I suggest keeping it less bulky.

Lady Gaga made her entier career and more applause for her, but its def not for the every day woman
