    Retro futurism: Do we really want to dress like the Jetsons?

    You know those crazy space outfits everyone like Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna and even Vogue's Anna Wintour have been wearing? Apparently they're examples of "retro futurism," that is, what people in the past thought we would dress like in the future. Like the Jetsons! You may think it's a passing fad, but the Fall 2009 runways were packed with mod, outer space mini dresses, metallic pants, leather gloves, monstrous shoulder pads and even helmets. Don't believe us? Take a look through this slideshow and pick your favorites--come September you may be adding similar pieces to your wardrobe. [Independent][HitDanBack]

      I was absolutely overjoyed to see thesse strong architechtural shapes hit the runways for FALL 09 as a movement to interpret and experiment with. A welcome return to my favorite fashion movent of the mid nineteen sixties, the trend was beautifully trancended in a modern direction thru its incorporation of easier care fabrics and use lightweight structural ingenuity that modern technology has afforded this exciting rebirth. The original 'Jet Girl' hey day of the sixties by designers like Courreges and Balenciaga was largely presented in strikingly clean abstract editorial looks that signified a new luxurious new frontier for an evolving fashion culture. My question for the coming season is how celebrity will embrace and represent such a strong trend when there are so many ways the paparazzi can easily make a living submitting unflattering photos of some of these clothes to the tabloids and making the whole thing look ridiculous. Cue the new 'it' girl of the editorial fashion world...and prepare for takeoff!

      looks interesting, much more inventive than other clothes. Could use some improvements though because I'm not a big fan of metallic fabric yuck.

      Just a fad of course! She looks like a silver bumble bee. A fat one. Look ladies we don't care what you wear. All we care about is what you have under the clothes. Pretty much. Dress is horrible.
