FUTURISTIC When you think about the future, how do you envision it?
The consumer of today is living in a past-present future where surreal technology, like Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence, exist within a world where the past is still important and prevalent. Futuristic is further supported by the rise of 3D-printed clothing, footwear, and accessories that are being influenced by tech-driven design and a new generation of technical materials that are ultra light, highly breathable, protective, and thermo regulated. As gender roles become more flexible, terms like “gender-neutral” or genderless masculinity get more predominant with a generation of forward-looking persons emerging. These are audacious people who call themselves “without gender”, challenging preconceived ideas of gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality. Metallic textures undoubtedly make a statement but futuristic fashion is also defined by other aspects like embossed textures, bespoke fabrics and liquid or metallic finishes. Futuristic is also slowly influencing our lifestyle as much as services are upscaling, introducing premium and luxury options. Jobs are being displaced by technology, most of the times with the use of robots or drones. As robotics expand into a wider range of consumer-facing industries, the objective will be to develop technologies with humanizing details to replicate the textures, expressions and warmth of a human. The now world-famous robot Sophia is a perfect example of this. Anti-aging mechanisms and the perfection of the human body is also a near goal with Google’s associated company, Verily, being on a quest to find the cure to live forever. The world is changing at an extraordinary rate and the question is to know how humans are going to evolve with it.
