The New Millenium



This video, from the 1930s, shows what designers imagined Eve would wear in 2000 AD. Apparently pockets are out and light bulb headdresses are in. It's worth watching just to hear "Oh, swish!" Trust me on this one.

  1. "Candies for cuties"? lol.

    This looks more like Eve in the 1970s (check out that jumpsuit--and aren't blaringly hideous shoes in style right now?).

    And yet the man with a telephone, radio, and money receptacle attached to him 24/7 isn't so far off...

  2. Oh CGonzalez I love you. I can just imagine you laughing at the "Oh, swish". I also like, "and candies for cuties."

    And those shoes are actually pretty close at 0:56: MarcJacobs Spring 08:
