Futuristic Fashion

Melissa: The runway has recently taken a turn towards a new and innovative futuristic look. Shiny blacks and silvers fused with plays on shapes seem to be what the fashion world is becoming. Here are some photos straight off the runway, stage, and red carpet.




Above you see two different models rocking this new trend in all black ensembles with hints of shine and play on volume. Paired with black tights and these ensembles are perfect for an updated look.



Here is a design done by Leanne Marshall during her time on the hit Bravo show, Project Runway. The concave design around the hips was a great way to play up this black dress.



Celebrities are known for their great sense of fashion, but even they get it wrong sometimes. To the left is a picture of Beyonce during a performance. The futuristic look is about shape and color but this is taking it too far. To the right, she redeems herself by pulling out a sexy metallic gold ensemble that was perfect for a performance.





The above looks are not realistic for an average day on the streets, but that doesn't mean you can't update your ensemble with some embellishments. Take inspiration from the above picture of Rihanna, sporting a tight black leather outfit at the American Music Awards. Her look is toped off with the addition of several silver chains attached to her corset.



To get the most out of this trend for everyday wear, try adding simple things to a black ensemble, such as gold and silver jewelery to add a little flair to any outfit and to make the most out of this trend while catching people's eyes in doing so, in a good way of course.


P.S. Stay tuned for some photos of me, Wenjing, and Ryo sporting our everyday futuristic looks.
