Life Magazine Predicted Future Fashion
This is a magazine cover of Life Magazine from 1914. They predicted what people would be wearing in 1950. There is a caption under the illustration saying, “Weren’t they funny?” Clearly, they predicted that in the future, people would be wearing less clothing and showing more skin. In some ways, that’s true. Women do wear short dresses. However, the man wearing the loincloth with shapes painted all over his body looks like someone who just went to Coachella. Again- Maybe accurate?
