This document provides details on a futuristic fashion theme. It begins by describing the theme's focus on tailored clothing with strong lines and iridescent fabrics to give a futuristic style. It notes that metallic leather and 3D printing will feature prominently in the styles. The theme is likely to be popular due to society's obsession with technology in fashion and upcoming sci-fi entertainment. The document then outlines steps for analyzing the theme, creating a title, tagline, mood, and story. It analyzes inspiration sources like technology, past trends, travel, architecture, commercial uses, and entertainment. The final section discusses creating a color palette based on curated images relating to the futuristic theme.
The document provides instructions for a writing assignment requiring students to visit the Norton Museum, located in West Palm Beach, Florida. Students must select a painting from the museum's collection between 1200-1900 CE, and write a paper following a specific format. The paper should include: the artist, title, medium, and date of the work; a biographical sketch of the artist and historical context; a visual description of the subject matter and execution; an interpretation of the artwork's meaning; and proper citations of all sources.
The document provides details for a futuristic fashion editorial shoot, including the team members and their roles, as well as initial ideas for the shoot theme, clothing, hair, and makeup. The basic idea is to create an alien-like feel to fulfill a brief about protest and survival in a futuristic context.

The Inspiration Behind the Fall 2014 Fashion Collections - by FashiontribesLesley Scott
While it's always fun to see what's fresh and fashionable on the catwalks each season, as a Fashion Futurist, I've always found the designers' inspirations just as interesting as the clothes themselves - perhaps more so. I curated the most interesting collection-inspirations from NYC, London, Milan and Paris & chose the 80 collections with the most compelling backstories.
For fall 2014, many designers seemed to long for a return "better" days - kind of memory "comfort food" if you will - which manifested as a particularly a strong vein of being inspired by "primitive" crafts-as-arts, outsider art including fiber art, retro ethnic weaving. whirling dervishes & tribal tales born along the Silk Road. A more modern manifestation of this hankering for paradise lost showed up in the form retro advertising, comic book-ready sensibilities and a backlash against the juggernaut of commerce, particularly in the garish McDonald's-themed looks by Jeremy Scott for Moschino and the giant Chanel-branded supermarket fully stocked with everything from soap to food to bathmats bearing the interlocking Cs that served as the maison's pre$entation venue.
13 construction material from the futureMasoud Fayeq
The document summarizes 13 emerging construction materials, including translucent concrete that uses glass fibers to allow light transmission, sensiTiles with embedded fiber optics that twinkle as people walk on them, and electrified wood that incorporates wiring to power devices. It also discusses flexible honeycomb structures, paper-based countertops, self-repairing cement with microcapsules that seal cracks, strong yet lightweight carbon fiber, and bendable concrete reinforced with fibers.
Biomimicry: when mother nature inspires true innovationFederico Puebla
Humans represent a tiny fraction of all life on Earth at only 0.004% of the total biomass. While small in number, humans have had an outsized impact through our use of technology to transform landscapes and alter natural environments all over the world. Our actions have caused mass extinctions and the loss of natural habitats that supported more biologically diverse ecosystems.

The document provides a forecast and inspiration for women's spring/summer 2016 fashion trends centered around futuristic and cosmic themes. Some key trends discussed are influences from technology like smart watches and 3D printing, movies like Star Wars and Back to the Future, and fabrics including leather, metallic, and iridescent materials in colors like blue and purple. The forecast also mentions stylistic details like padded shoulders, geometric patterns, and asymmetrical silhouettes. Accompanying images are referenced to further illustrate the trends.

Presentation held at FSN2018 in Fandom and Media Studies. This talk discusses fan fashion and creative business. In this paper, I will draw out a framework to study different forms of fan fashion, ranging from professional clothing lines that brand pop-culture to haute couture produced by designers and fans. I argue that we need to examine the space of the creative business in more detail, where fans and professionals increasingly exchange and create value in a platform economy.
Fan fashion serves as one example, but I shall show that the trend towards fan-driven business models and a fan-centric economy is a much larger one.

The document provides information for designing a collection of watches inspired by the Art Deco style. It outlines the target market as males and females aged 25-35 in Asia and Europe working in corporate jobs. Research is presented on Art Deco influences from the 1920s-1930s including geometric shapes, bright colors, and motifs from ancient cultures. Primary data from a survey of 52 people finds that watches are seen as a necessity over an accessory. Most would pay between Rs. 10,000-25,000 and prefer an analog display with a leather strap. Design and quality were the most important factors when purchasing a watch. The collection should take inspiration from Art Deco designs while appealing to the target market's preferences.
Online-Aesthetics. From Genre to SubcultureAnton Hecht
An examination of aesthetics and their role online. How digital aesthetics have changed and developed, and how this has had an effect on subcultures around synthetic space. This includes a class exercise at the end.
Beyond the Screen: The New Aesthetics of Digital CitizenshipDanteGabriele
The document discusses the concept of the "New Aesthetic", which refers to digital phenomena influencing perceptions of technology and digital media. In 2011, writer James Bridle coined the term to describe technological artifacts and glitches he observed. The New Aesthetic examines the blurring lines between humans and technology as digital interactions shape information in an ongoing process. It raises questions about how computers see and relate to humans, and how technology imbues digital spaces with meaning that changes based on participation.
This document discusses different categories of artifacts including art objects, vernacular objects, and designed objects. It provides definitions for key terms like artifact, vernacular object, and design. It explores how these different types of objects can reveal cultural information and how their presentation and values differ. Examples of objects from each category are presented along with perspectives from scholars on analyzing and understanding artifacts and material culture.
Tim Walker creates magical photography through rigorous planning and unpredictable chance. A storyteller in many senses, Walker’s variety of images demonstrates the importance of clothes beyond the fashion pages and a consistency of his vision. Quotes fill his pages giving you a fascinating insight into his process and shows he is open to serendipity as well as elaborate planning. Various images show tried out test shoots and sketches as well as the final version.
This document discusses the design of new mannequins by the company Fluence. It notes that fashion trends and stores are constantly changing, so mannequins need to be dynamic and inspire customers. The document then describes how the new mannequin designs take inspiration from the human body in motion to dramatically showcase clothes in a functional way. Digital models were used to explore different poses and proportions to create desirable figures that define movement. The goal is for these new mannequins called "Fluence" to inspire a more dynamic future for fashion through their energy, movement and flow.

Reanimating Cyberpunk in 21st Century Fashion_More Human than HumanKristina Gligorovska
This document discusses the influence of cyberpunk themes and aesthetics in 21st century fashion. It explores how fashion designers have incorporated elements of cyberpunk seen in works from the 1980s-90s, depicting modified bodies and blurring the lines between human and machine. Examples given include collections by McQueen, Pugh, Owens, and others featuring deconstructed suits alluding to cybernetic beings. The document argues cyberpunk continues to symbolize using technology to overcome bodily limits and shape new virtual bodies for an augmented reality.
Postmodernism is a contemporary art movement associated with post-industrial societies that questions traditional boundaries and concepts of art and creativity. It draws from multiple art traditions and references contemporary culture through methods like irony, parody, appropriation, and quotation. Postmodern art is grounded in theories like Marxism, feminism, and psychoanalysis.

12. The message of this theme is to give the consumer a look into future. The theme
allows younger generations to adopt new innovations in technology and clothing. The
target market is young, confident, women looking to express their own power,
strength, and personality through this trend. These women are innovators and
influencers who are not afraid to venture outside their comfort zone and are wiling to
take a leap in the future of fashion. The theme explores the use of geometric shapes
and structural lines as well as 3d printing. Unique and iridescent materials such as
plastic, metallic leather, and gold and silver finishings paired with bold blues, pastel
and vibrant pinks, as well acid greens give the theme an out of this world appeal.
14. Narrative
In a galaxy far, far away…where technology has become one with fashion, my world
is in constant motion. Where fashion never slows down, it is only appropriate that my
style follows. My style is unlike any you have ever seen in your time; resembling the
beautiful strong structured skyscrapers that float the streets I call home. Colors
matching the intergalactic atmosphere are embraced in my apparel. With a style that
is truly out this world, I embrace my own unique alien within and allow my inner light
to shine through the clothing. Where everything shines and sparkles, join me on a
journey through time and space. Embrace your inner cosmic side and become a
fashionista from infinity and beyond.
15. Descriptive
The Futuristic theme of our forecast was sparked by multiple innovative technologies
as well as new explorations from NASA, the new star wars movie that is coming out
this December and street and runway styles referencing space and the future. The
new innovative technologies we discovered were the use of 3D printing of fabrics as
well as holographics and luminescent lights being used on runway fashion. Then with
the new exploration of Mars by NASA that recently happened along with the new Star
Wars movie being released soon, both have led to futuristic and space related
inspiration on some runway and street styles and have even transferred into other
areas such as house décor and art.

will add only the kept images from our research under the
appropriate sections to help explain our forecast in the best
way as well as include the title and taglines for our forecast to
help express the mood of our overall forecast.
