Fashion predictions for 2000 made in 1930:
I’m particularly entranced with the possibility of unzipping portions of my dress as I move through the day. How convenient that would be! (Not! It’s yet another case of predicting bundling as some great benefit, when in fact it wouldn’t be more convenient but only more limiting.)
However, the man-outfit toward the end of the clip is quite spectacular. It’s spaceman-like qualities are quite ironic, given that men’s clothing hasn’t changed all that much since the 1930s.
