Apocalypse Closet: Spring 2013 Couture

So, the spring couture shows happened with nary a post-collapse dictator gown or post-climate change warrior queen frock. Not a single standy-uppy collar of doom or strappy, hardware-laden unitard.

Certainly nothing that would coordinate well with a gas mask or crossbow.

What I did find was a futurist streak, and several looked more like what I thought people would be wearing in the very futuristic-sounding year of 2013. I’ve organized them into four categories: Jumpsuits!, No Pants!, Gowns!, and WTF?

JUMPSUITS!

I’ve always envied Colonel Wilma Deering and her snazzy future jumpsuits. Not the camel toe aspect of it, but they were so shiny and cheerful. And it’s an entire outfit in a single piece! It’s the ease of a dress and the freedom of a pant AT THE SAME TIME. Not that I’m a big pants fan (which we’ll get to in minute).

NO PANTS!

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s pants. And lowest-common-denominator network comedy. And squirrels. I’m frequently galavanting around our apartment in a shirt and underthings (or a shirt and tights in the winter) because pants? Constricting. They’re only good for keeping pantyliners in place. I would love it if any of these no pants/ hot pants looks were acceptable for daily wear.

WTF?

This is weird, right? Hiding kids under your gown?

I don’t know if this is a wedding dress, but if so, it’s the only one I would ever consider wearing:

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram.
