Space Quest — Envision the Fashion Future with this Season’s Holographic Style Trend
Ever marveled at the three-dimensional holograms displayed in films like Star Wars and Iron Man? Have you speculated about how the Enterprise’s transporter in Star Trek managed to convert people into energy patterns, then beamed them to different locations? Did you ever want to follow in the steps of ’80s TV cartoon character Jerrica Benton and, with the help of a holographic computer and some snazzy star-shaped earrings, transform yourself into Jem, a worldwide pop sensation? Ever looked at a rain puddle containing a dollop of oil and stared at the rainbow effect on its surface, the majestic iridescence of something that might be considered mundane? Do you find yourself drawn to shiny rolls of rainbow-colored cellophane? Well, these are precisely the types of images and themes that inform many of this season’s fashions, which emphasize optical illusions — primarily, the notion of iridescence, of colors shifting as a result of multiple reflections bouncing off a surface. An emphasis on futuristic silhouettes and materials, meanwhile, adds a galactic glamour to many of these pieces.
From fitted cocktail dresses and leather pencil skirts to hidden wedge sneakers, pointy toe pumps, snakeskin minaudieres, metallic cross-body bags, chunky necklaces and wrap bracelets, sporty baseball caps, and earrings with prismatic moonstone, druzy, and agate stones, this season’s hologram-inspired fashions are the key to a space odyssey with plenty of style.
