Climate Change Couture

Yesterday me and my boyfriend went for out to drink a cocktail or two....and as I sat outside Cheeky MOnkey in the freezing cold(because it is too dodgy to sit inside) I wondered about climate change and how it will influence society and fashion. The first thing that popped into my head was, if the half of the planet was going to freeze over, at least that half's Pina Coladas will always be cold. And that for the other side of the planet (where its going to be scorching hot), girls and boys will always have a lovely tan and girls can wear gladiator sandals with haltered summer dresses anytime they want without looking desperate to show skin or be a strange orangy colour because of selftan.
But what other consequences will climate change have on fashion? Will fashion be important when people are worried about not having any water the next day? Will what we wear underneath a coat matter if we are wearing the coat to prevent our fingers from freezing off? Somehow it seems like fashion will then be put in at the back of the cupboard along with Ipods and sequins (damn).

But before we get to that extreme, I would like to wear the haltered sunny dress and gladiators, and the white fur boots and the cute nineteen forties leather gloves and the black fur coat! (fake of course) Climate change must have some advantage, right?

  1. It's quite possible that fashion will get a back seat. But never completely. There will always be millions of ppl like you sweetie, don't worry. HEHE!
