With digital fashion gaining traction in the metaverse, we’ve already seen a multitude of brands take the leap into the world of new tech. However, it looks like the new space age will be here to stay, and you might even be wearing it.Īs technology evolves and its interaction with fashion strengthens, it’s not a stretch to assume that space and fashion may just have the same relationship. With reports of a new space hotel, anti-ageing space missions, a seemingly misguided plan to populate Mars and space toilet troubles, we were bombarded with the news-even if most of us didn’t want to be. Now, another fashion trend is on the horizon: a new space age.Īlongside the chaotic whirlwinds of the past few years came something that most of us didn’t even ask for- we’d rather you donate the billions you have to charity -but that didn’t stop our most famous billionaires from embarking on their dream of commercial space travel. Take goblincore and cottagecore with their aims to flee the reality of capitalism-let’s not forget the nostalgia-obsessed Weirdcore and Britishcore too-or dystopiacore even, which embraces the ‘chic-ness’ of the end of the world. Fashion, and the subcultures it forms, continues to reflect, parallel, oppose and even attempt to escape the issues gripping society. But as always, an industry that continues to reflect the times as well as people’s reactions to change is the realm of fashion.
From the burgeoning economic crisis and complete austerity to the ever-worsening climate catastrophe, there’s been a lot to deal with. The world, post-pandemic, has only worsened for a lot of us.
