While nostalgia may not be everyone's thing, a more futuristic aproach will be noticed, but with a twist. At the dawn of the new millenium, we saw an offering of silver and metallics in stores, a nod if you will at the astronauts of the 60s and the hopes of that era for a brand new future. While today's consumer has a rather dim world view of our future here on planet Earth as we aproach the 2010 decade, ten years later we are noticing a more gothic aproach to the future as seen here with Gareth Pugh. While Goth fashion is all about death and decay, it's message will ring out loud and clear in certain mindsets for the coming years. Not to forget the media and it's influence on individuals, with the reported Mayan calender and it's message of doom for the year 2012, the upcoming movie of the same name 2012, the melting polar ice caps, the U.S. bailout scandals, the new deseases appearing on our doorsteps almost every year if not sooner... people are intoxicated with pending doom and will respond accordingly, especially the younger market, not having the experience of the boomers that this too shall pass.
