Alex shows Patrick what men’s fashion would have been like for the 21st century if industrial designer Gilbert Rohde had gotten his wish. The 1939 World’s Fair issue of Vogue magazine was full of arresting and alluring fashion predictions for the future, though none were as intriguing as the banishment of the suit in what Rohde called a “Great Revolt” by men. It’s jumpsuit onesies, plexiglass pockets, and halo antennae in this week’s exploration of futuristic fashion–and trust us, this one works best if you catch a glimpse of the design while you listen.
Theme song is “Satellites” by Swenny.
