VPOD: Vintage 1960s Coat and The Future of Fashion

I’ve been reading Michio Kaku’s fascinating book, Physics of the Future, and marveling at his predictions for how science will shape our daily lives by the year 2100.

And while the book covers the areas of medicine, computers, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, energy production and astronautics, the scientist doesn’t bother to offer any thoughts on the future of fashion.

So I’m gonna do a little predicting of my own.

For instance, Michio Kaku describes super-thin and flexible wall screens that will be as inexpensive as wallpaper and will allow you to redecorate and change their patterns with the push of a button.

And I say, if this is possible, then I’d like to see a similar-type fabric with embedded computer chips that will allow us to change the print of our dress or coat on a whim. I predict in the future we’ll be able to buy these special dresses or coats and then download seasonal prints from our favorite designers just as easily as we download music from iTunes.

And how cool would it be to download a simple, conservative print on a sheath dress for the office and then just push a button to switch it into a sparkling brocade for evening?

Michio Kaku also describes haptic technology which is already being used in the military. It allows you to feel the presence of computer-generated objects and simulates the sensation of texture.

So I predict that soon we might actually be able to “feel” the silk or the velvet or the cashmere of the items we’re browsing online so we’re not disappointed when our purchase arrives on our doorstep.

Pretty cool, right?

Every time my sister and I talk on Facetime, I’m reminded that the crazy lives the Jetson’s lived in their futuristic cartoon world are quickly becoming reality here in my world.

Perhaps that’s why, even though I’ve been melting in the 113-degree afternoon heat here in Tempe this week, I’m still drawn to today’s VPOD.

The silver brocade on this fabulous vintage 1960s winter coat gives it a mod futuristic vibe but its classic styling is solidly old-fashioned.

And that creates the perfect combination for a future-focused Vintage Crusader!
