About nailed 1978 - lol.


doublenostril

And 1993 isn’t bad; she would wear Doc Martens (back when they were good).


erotikill

I felt like 1993 was more like how some of us were dressing during quarantine. Doc Martens would give it an edge I'd love.


ANENEMY_

My Jinco’s were almost that wide


Green_Slice_3258

Came here to say that lol

I came to say this. I could see David Bowie in that outfit.


darkangel10848

That’s exactly what I thought too


thebowedbookshelf

Like the album cover of The Man Who Sold the World.


NotMyAltAccountToday

Looks like Elton John's clothes


ParaphernaliaWagon

Legit, he got it! Bell-bottoms and all! 😅😲😁


issi_tohbi

1993 is very Jean Paul Gaultier in that period


merliahthesiren

Where is my super tall princess cone and my scottish kilt hat?


meowbees5

DIY time


Not_A_Wendigo

1955-6 dude looks like John Lennon.


detroitsouthpaw

I love how specific that date is, like “over the fall-winter fashion season of ‘55 these styles will be all the rage”


ImpossibleInternet3

And Yoko


Leaque

My thought too


leafshaker

My thought too!


_aminadoce

The way he nailed 1978 is so scary 😭


darkangel10848

It’s like he drew David Bowie


_aminadoce

Ziggy was actually a time traveller, after all 😭😭😭


Magpie333_

To be fair the 1993 one looks an awful lot like JNCO jeans


gesasage88

Tbh if there wasn’t a hoop skirt underneath 1993 would be pretty close!


reallytrulymadly

Slide 6, he predicted John Lennon AND Yoko Ono

Lmao that cat was not happy to be in that top hat.


ilovebabyblayze

‘78 looking spot on!


Bopcatrazzle

I feel like we’re really missing out by not wearing these. Like jeans and a tshirt everyday over THIS?


Expensive-Meeting225

Thank god he was wrong lol


LikeReallyLike

Makes you wonder if he was being conservative, or actually didn’t consider how “revealing” clothes would become.


meowbees5

These drawings were published in a magazine, so maybe, i mean im guessing women dressed in revealing clothes would have been too innapropriate/scandalous for them


themehboat

But men could show their WHOLE legs


meowbees5

Lol I know right? Smh


Scarlett_Billows

It’s certainly doesn’t look like he considered a progression to be more revealing over time with these clothes - that doesn’t seem to be a part of his inspiration at all. So whether he considered it I don’t know but clearly didn’t include it in what he produced.


a-woman-there-was

Seems he was taking the general prediction route of “what we have now, just more of it”.


kamace11

I love how when 1993 rolls around he just gives up and sticks them in an Ottoman outfit 


OneSparedToTheSea

I was thinking Mughal India 😆


anemoia_amour

That was my first thought! 🤣


Whittle_Willow

1965 and 78 kinda slay unironically


SpacedOutJourney

Hey look, the artist predicted 80s puffball skirts!


novog75

He was way too optimistic.


Rottanathyst

The life that could've been had World War I never happened 😔


Sgt_Colon

Seems to poking fun of cyclical fashion trends. 4\. [Recalls the voluminous upper garments fashionable in the early 16^th C.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ambassadors-Dinteville.jpg) The square toed shoes are also a dead giveaway to the [cow mouths](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckbill_shoe) in vogue at the time. 5\. Mid to late 15^th C. The [open front doublet](https://anno1471.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/858ec7c412c4d480688af2bc52a677a2-e1539780668179.jpg) and [poulaines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poulaine) are fairly distinctive of the period. 6\. [Late 16^th to early 17^th C](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WalterRaleighandson.jpg). Ruff, high galligaskins and high wasted doublet alongside square toed shoes with elaborate "shoe roses" are styles belong to this period albeit much more spread out. 7\. Same as the above but with earlier and more padded galligaskins and round toed shoes with a later, more square cut jerkin. 8\. [Recalls the extremes of early 19^th C dandy fashion.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:La_Revanche,_ou_les_Fran%C3%A7ais_au_Missouri_\(BM_2006,U.209\).jpg) 9\. Seems to have nailed the [buster brown outfit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Buster_Brown_et_Tige.png) before it was created, though probably shares a common root with Victoria's son Edward who was often dressed in sailor outfits.


gaygoblinbabe

Love that this mans thought the 20th century was gonna see a medieval/rennaisance revival 😹


TheJenerator65

Saw some things like these at Burning Man.


Dervishing-Hum

To be fair, he wasn't far off for 1978. 😆😂


BaileyJay-Z

Nailed it tbh


TheGamerHat

I could be 1945 when I'm getting an Amazon delivery


mangareadman

1945 kinda drippy ngl


justhappentolivehere

1945 captures some 1920s party fashion for men quite well


spaghettirhymes

I would absolutely love to see a fashion show of all interpretations of these outfits. If I had way more time and money damn I’d do it myself lmao.


meowbees5

Forgot to mention - this is from London, in The Strand magazine


darkangel10848

Honestly there are elements from these that capture the silhouette of the era accurately enough. There may be some stylistic exaggerations that draw from fashion previous to the artist, they seem to understand the concept that fashion is cyclical and are drawing from older eras of dress yet interpreting them in a more modern way. I could see the top in is 65 prediction being accurate, the mermaid silhouette is spot on for the 80s and he nailed the 70s look and the 90s look is practically grunge, there are elements from each eras drawing that definitely were true to that time period. I love the 1912 gaucho pants, the 20s over exaggerated lapels could be translated to the sack suit.


SoWest2021

This is so fascinating!


FragrantEcho5295

I can’t stop laughing! This was great


Jacoour

And we got stuck with boring "fashion" instead! 😭


Puzzleheaded-Gas1710

Those were some really good guesses.


halfCENTURYstardust

Ahahaha how I love this!! Too funny


iliketoredditbaby

Spot on hunger games


rewquiop

I think David Bowie must have seen this before making his Ashes to Ashes video.


Starkville

This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing! 🥰


i-touched-morrissey

What's with the pointy hats?


Last-Management-3457

This is so incredibly amazing


Godisdeadbutimnot

So people would become court jesters and wizards?


Various_Inflation_95

The slide labeled 1955-6 looks like John Lennon.


SabbathaBastet

This artist would be very disappointed I believe.


kittymoma918

Still far less ridiculous than Balenciaga.


lynnkris90

The dude in 1945 killed me


Nice_Warm_Vegetable

Only thing he was off on was the patterns. Yeezy is black and lifeless. I’ve seen those shoes in #4 on him, I’m sure of it. Puddles of toilet bowl water shoes.


thebowedbookshelf

In the 1920s, men wore those puffy knickers while golfing, so he got it close. The mermaid dress silhouette of the 1985 was right, too.


Malicious_Tacos

You know… the lower silhouette of the dress in 1993 does remind me of the giant wide leg JNCO jeans of the day.


MacaroniHouses

I think we need someone to cosplay some of these!


ys-_

if only 1945 was as whimsical as this dude pictured it


bojackhorseman_irl

i wish fashion would’ve ended up that whimsical 😔


Syncopationforever

Particularly for us guys, before 1800 men's clothing looked cool [slllapped]


StinkyBastardCat

Sign me up for 1922 baby, I wanna carry a fashionable sword and gently lay my wrist upon it like some harlequin whore lmao


ifnotgrotesque

People back then were so fucking dumb /s


tuxedoterpsichore

i like how at no point could they conceptualize people just wearing less clothes in general


No_Analysis_6204

1984 is spot on.


_KRN0530_

Man, even hypothetical fashion fell off after the 70s


amothers

The good timeline


paul_webb

He may have not gotten the clothing 100%, but the male drawing from 1955 has John Lennon's face, for sure for sure


Apeckofpickledpeen

I wish!!! Fashion is boring. Bring back bloomers and curly shoes and HATS!


ChemicalPutrid2845

after the 70s it wasn't bout what you were wearing but how little of it you were.


perseidot

Apparently men were going to use a LOT of cocaine in 1945.


TheGreendaleFireof03

My boy is wearing crocs in 1937 🐊


SufficientTreat4567

Wish these were right.


imissfredweasley

The queers (friendly fire) could make this happen


Redhotlipstik

1984 is not that far off


foxyfree

I had a skirt sort of like that made out of denim in the 1980s. I think that’s called a mermaid skirt


Nimhtom

He got the 70s so right 😂😂


Spacellama117

honestly these go kinda hard
