The Future of Artiface
The face that stares out in the photo is from the 18th Century. Yet there is something in the eyes that suggests the future of fashion. Artifice always has a front row seat in fashion. What are commonly seen as 'fake' or 'false' (as in hair and eyelashes, respectively) are really transformational aids.
The 18th Century, particularly in Paris and Venice, took artifice to an extreme we now find ridiculous.
However, the future will have a renewed use for artifice that will be:
- practical (embedded applications in clothing or skin - but not implants)
- dramatic (always a favored purpose for artifice)
- chic and nomadic (wear only the sleek things you need to survive)
Some things to consider as the ultimate transformational day approaches, Halloween.
