Have you ever thought how our clothes will be in ten years? I might have the answer. “Clothes change our view of the world and the world's view of us”. The fashion world in the days of Virginia Woolf, and now, is a reflection of what we are living.
I just arrived from the Cibeles catwalk in Madrid, and even though it was amazing and incredible seeing the exotic designs by Andrés Sarda, the classic ones by Amaya Arzuga the models walking in the middle of the gangway wearing the colourful clothes of , Agatha Ruiz de la Prada or the elegant designs by Ángel Schlesser, I haven’t seen any innovation that surprised me. I strongly believe that we need a enormous shift in fashion’s world. Everything is being too classical or minimalist, in other words, the trends that started with Cristobal Balenciaga’s or Alexander Mcqueen, the 21th century designer revolutionary, are the ones right now. I recently visited the Spanish designer museum in Bilbao, I enjoyed all his designs and dresses and thought how classic, simple and beautiful where then I realized it was awesome because he had been the first one to do that kind of creations. The same happened with Alexander McQueen, despite the fact that his designs weren’t so much popular while he was alive, he was an authentic revolution of fashion, triggering to create a new style that is still alive. His ideals of fashion are between us every day with the black colours, the feathers and the exotic complements. All of this is proved in London's exhibition about him, the best one I have ever seen.
In spite of the sameness of nowadays trends with the ones from years ago, I believe fashion will be different in next few years, I think the next thing will happen is that designers of the future will mix technology with art. I expect some big changes. Maybe a wonderful white dress with an incorporated computer screens that shows some spectacular pictures as prints. Some designers have already started researching in this new fashion technology world, for instance, The Studio XO, who have designed some dresses for Lady Gaga or Black eyed peas. When Lady Gaga appeared with her extravagant dress at the Itunes awards in 2010 and in some other events with this type of different clothes It made on us a shock, because it was something new. I really thing this is the future because when someone innovates at first we might be surprised but then we want to wear it. In Japan, for example, the people have already started to wear t-shirts or sneakers with LEDS.
However, it will be in some years on, while we are researching for the big change that will make us wear the new technological style. Are you ready for that? Perhaps now you are skeptical about the idea, but it is normal because we're at just at the beginning of something completely new.
