TREND REPORT: POST-APOCALYPTIC UTILITARIANISM

The end times…but make it #fashun

An overview

Seeing as the world has been plunged into rather surreal uncertainty, I thought it might be a fitting time to release this trend report and overview on what I call Post-Apocalyptic Utilitarianism. With dilapidated dystopias and unknown futures finding their way into the limelight lately, ideas of survival and function have nestled into a comfortable, central spot in the public consciousness. Through the lens of fashion, it just becomes that much more fascinating…and fun. Although this report was created in 2018, I think a lot of it continues to resonate in 2020.
