STYLE/FASHION; SUPERNATURAL COUTURE - Heroic and Regal Future-Forward Style For The Urbanite

by M Jvlian Simmons

King Jesus has top-notch threads!

 Ever wondered what people wear in the far future, or even in Heaven/Heavenly places?

Many think white robes, and flowing gowns, which may prove a bit boring, when you talk about the requirements needed to achieve fashion 'longevity', but our vision is very much removed from the common preconceived notion.





First of all, let's lay to rest the notion of biblical style being boring by default.

Capes; all the rage on Krypton

It (future styles that stand the test of time) may not be all glittery, or sparkly with harps, halos, antennas and/or blasters, but definitely some angles going, draping, and maybe some accessories that either look like armor, or like it was from another planet somewhere.

Heck, with style trends going the way it is now, with skinny jeans, leggings. boots and wearable tech, we're only a chevron (logo/chest insignia/shield/rank), cape, and a cause away from being dressed like a comic hero anyhow.

Plus, in a world where you basically have to assume a double identity anyway, because of social media liberties threatening one's professional reputation, it'd be nice to be able to confidently take control of it all, and to develop one's incongnito persona.

Cosplayers work tirelessly to give the most accurate portrayal of a comic or fictional character, but I say, why not just adopt those styles into mainstream fashion plates.

"The costume is a sign and source of power, and is the mark of Grace.

The ‪‎mask once more‬ embodied something of the joy of change and reincarnation."

I know many cosplay seamstresses that would make excellent fashion designers if they'd only just start on a portfolio of their own stuff instead of direct mimics.

Its definitely what I'd do if I had that talent, but in times past, I'd try to share this idea onto deaf ears that did not yet understand.





Check out this Comic-con seminar (after our video bumper), featuring Scott Bukatman, translating comic costume motifs; but first, a talk expounding on urban styles of the future, and how they will be precipitating into the mainstream fashion world within the next few decades.

We also included our Pinterest board of the same topic, so you can get a glimpse of what we mean.
