future ancient - the hot new lewk?
hot off a primitive printing press and dipped in gold!!!
hi gorgeous,
welcome to What Is This Regarding? where we take a critical lewk at wtf’s going on around us. i had every intention to write thots & feelings about the bois at PFW this wk but honestly i was underwhelmed and overstimulated at the same damn time.
SO instead of short circuiting and serving up a flaming hot flambe of flop, i decided to plate something so advanced, it’s rudimentary, and as we all know, nothing is better than a *simple slay*.
future ancient: the hottest lewk2consider.
before jumping to the obvious question: am i REALLY a spaceage-meets-caveperson-baddie? let’s discuss.
DUNE + STARWARS bc duh
EVERYTHING about dune is rich as hell - the colors, the beadwork drippage, o my fucking lordt. this movie makes future ancient a SITUATION. The deep stories woven into the purpose of each garment takes wearable tech mixed with museum-level made up history to new heights.
also just a hot sec for lady jessica bc she is giving slay and is very julia fox???? anyone else see it or just me?
MOVING ON!
STARWARS set the stage for future ancient with people in plastic tech suits but also in drapey robes; cold clean spaceships but also vast deserts.
texture mixing and interesting braids are HUGE in future ancient.
RAISED BY WOLVES - a deeper cut, to be sure, but OOZING style.
the way we’re mixing earth toned latex with a chic necklace bag that literally holds death-laser eyeballs DEFINES THIS WHOLE MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!
2001 space odessy - let’s talk interiors
this room makes a case for blending deeply modern tech with artifacts.
NOTE: FUTURE ANCIENT IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH STEAMPUNK BC THIS IS NOT THE FUCK THAT
i love mad max just as much as the next girlie but steam punk exists AFTER all hope is lost in a time where everything is adapted out of need. there is LACK. Future Ancient feels wealthier, more robust, more LUXURIOUS, more carefully crafted and filled with bespoke discovery—not desperation.
& TO RLY BRING IT HOME: i call upon alexander mcqueen
one final gripe i have to close out this topic is how much i hate an immersive experience. bc not everything needs to be experiential. what i love so much about the future ancient aesthetic is it blends just enough tech with just enough natural elements to avoid corniness at every turn. it will never be immersive bc it exisited before and after all of time.
BYE!!!!!
