Space Age Fashion

Hey there Threadies (We need a better nickname). I'm asking for some input from the blog that defines our secret society.

I am a fashion design student and I need help coming up with a name and captions for my portfolio theme. Which is basically a photoshop mini-book of my inspirations and designs for my imaginary label. It's required, don't be hatin'. ;)

The theme is Space Age Fashion. My inspirations are mostly from films considering its fashion of the future and it hasnt really happened yet. Think: Fifth Element, Titan AE, Firefly/Serenity, Aeon Flux, Zenon, 2046 and Hackers. Edgy, not silver foil aliens.

Got any ideas?

Words relating to:
Futurism
Visionary
Ultramodern
Advanced
Cosmos
Intergalactic
The Void

Those sound like some pretty wide ranging inspirations to me so I'm trying to get some kind of cohesive style in my head and it's just not happening. Do you have any pics?

Phoenix4224 on Oct 03 '07 at 9:47pm

ste7en. i heart you.

iDanSimpson on Oct 03 '07 at 9:51pm

in the future we wont wear clothes. i hope that doesn't make your studies seem futile.

Neon Samurai on Oct 03 '07 at 10:10pm

I have it on good authority that there will be shirts but not pants in the future.

Phoenix4224 on Oct 03 '07 at 10:25pm

no pants? boo. i like pants.

Phoenix4224 on Oct 03 '07 at 10:34pm

aww tracer. i can always count on you.

chelly on Oct 03 '07 at 10:38pm

i haven't read this, but i'm hopin' i can safely assume this is about how threadless should print spacesick and i totally agree

Neon Samurai on Oct 03 '07 at 10:47pm

Ok I guess what I meant was: the clothing in serenity/firefly is kind of industrial/western, The fifth element is kind of cyberpunky, Hackers is kind of Japanese techno/pop and Titan AE is a kind of post apocalyptic space refugee thing. I'm not managing to reconcile all those influences in my head.

Yep, no pants in the future.

Phoenix4224 on Oct 03 '07 at 10:51pm

most have japanese street fashion influence

Phoenix4224 on Oct 03 '07 at 10:55pm

badass.

Neon Samurai on Oct 03 '07 at 10:56pm

Fair call. OK. Probably a good thing that it's you and not me studying fashion (because I clearly just failed my finals).

Phoenix4224 on Oct 03 '07 at 11:37pm

Phoenix4224 on Oct 05 '07 at 11:26am

you recognized the label. wow. didn't many people on here would

pyr4lis on Oct 05 '07 at 11:35am

I recognized it as well. Balenciaga is one of my favorite designers. However I just don't have any suggestions for a name. For my senior fashion design portfolio (5 yrs ago) I went with a modern-medieval knight theme. Kinda like the Balenciaga pic above with lots of metal armor etc.

for me "space age" isn't meaning anything in the future. I had did some research for this topic 3 years ago. In my opinion, It only naming the period of 50s - 70s which inspire by the competition between USA & CCCP. Some new born materials was being mass production. like plastic. And many many things happen at that period. I'm not to say too much. Maybe U find some new materials first. U will get more inspiration.

Phoenix4224 on Oct 05 '07 at 4:39pm

well when it comes to fashion, they call it space age. i see what you mean though. I guess theyre calling it that more today because we're so much closer to space travel, domestically

Phoenix4224 on Oct 05 '07 at 4:40pm

by the way, did anybody read the article in Wired Magazine about Richard Branson building that spaceport in New Mexico? A fucking SPACE PORT, people!!! for domestic flights!!! fuck yea

BlameTheSuburbs on Oct 05 '07 at 4:41pm

i like "silver foil aliens" for a brand name. It makes no sense, but that'd be pretty sweet.

Phoenix4224 on Oct 05 '07 at 6:12pm

i really like the make up of the girl in the Kanye West video. i cant find a good still of it, but she has eyeshadow drawn as a bar across her eyes, pretty much. i think in a few years thats going to be pretty popular.

Phoenix4224 on Oct 07 '07 at 11:48am

Mode de la Cosmos? mode is french for fashion

The fake slogan I used for the firm we each had to make in college was "Future by Design�." You can have that if you want.

Phoenix4224 on Oct 07 '07 at 5:55pm

thanks for the offer

Phoenix4224 on Oct 07 '07 at 5:56pm

and thank you kissmeimshitfaced. for the colorful comment as per usual

Phoenix4224 on Oct 08 '07 at 6:50pm

Morphing clothes!!!!!!!! make sure you watch it all the way through

kissmeimshitfaced on Oct 10 '07 at 11:18am

Looking back it seems offensive, it was really just the first thing I thought of when I saw that LED dress... I can't imagine someone wearing underwear with that....

All about me

I'm pretty sure there's about 30 shirts that I want. It's just a matter of getting money together to buy them. Girls shirts should be the same price as Guys shirts. Just even that way. And it means less spending for yours truly.
