The Future of Design: Contemplation on What's to Come
11:08 PMHey everyone!
Today I wanted to discuss with you all about design, specifically about designing in the future. This post is a part of the Design Blogger Competition organized by CGTrader. The style of this post is quite different from what I typically post here on my blog, and I am excited to share this with you all.
The term design is quite broad and general. It can refer to a multitude of things, whether it is fashion, graphic, or interior design. Design and art go hand in hand, and are interrelated, but not the same. Art can encompass a wide array of arrangements, and anything can be justified as art. Take Duchamp’s Fountain for example. Duchamp literally took a ready-made urinal, and manipulated its placement to create the argument that it’s art. Art is heavily based on its context, whereas design is a component within art.
Design refers to all the little intricacies within a composition. It is what makes us look and reconsider. It is everything that goes into making and creating a work.
And before you even say it, no. In terms of designing for the future, this is not just a post about hover boards and the DeLorean. (Comment down below if you got that Back to the Future reference!)
In accordance to the topics I typically discuss here on my blog, fashion design has much to be considered for the future. While some may argue that fashion is merely a frivolous topic for those who prefer to focus on consumerism, fashion surprisingly is very intertwined with our daily lives in how it reflects the social, economical, and political happenings of our time. We can see the ups and downs of society through the way fashion undergoes its subsequent changes. In the 1920s-1930s, the feminist movement spurred and women began to join the workforce. This was clearly shown in the prevalence of the shorter hemlines and boxy silhouettes of women’s fashion during that time. After World War II as America recovered, there was an increased preference for nuclear families to create a semblance of a perfect, happy family after the horrific years of war and the creation of the atomic bomb. As a result, women’s hemlines dropped back down, and curves and frills were played up to emphasize women’s femininity. The proliferation of the stiletto heel corresponds to the technological innovations that made the extremely high, skinny heel possible to create. Fashion is clear evidence of history.
We already see this evident in the return of the ‘90s. High-waist light wash denim, oversized jean jackets, choker necklaces, brown and bronzy colored lips, off the shoulder tops. Simply by scrolling through Instagram we can see how much of our current trends are reminiscent of the past. The other day I wore an oversized jean jacket that was actually my mother’s jacket from many years ago. And fashion has cycled back to allow that vintage piece to work with our current trends again.
However, not everything is exactly the same as before. While it is true that history repeats itself, and fashion reflects the ongoings of our lives, it is not an exact replica of the past. Rather, we look to the past in order to create our future.
Our current trends may take a lot of inspiration from the ‘90s, but it is not an exact return of the past. We shape our future with consideration of what has happened before. The past provides us with what was successful, and what needs improvement. In terms of the future of design, I believe we will see much of the past cycling back into the realm of things. Along with looking back at the past, the idea of returning to a simpler time accompanies that.
There is only so much innovation and advancements a society can handle. We have come so far in creating and inventing. History and fashion has its highs and lows, reflecting its golden ages and its periods of recovery. Perhaps the time has come to simplify. Embrace minimalism. Why else has there been an increased interest in minimalist styles? There is a beauty in simplicity.
We don’t need to layer fifteen gold chain chokers to complete an outfit. We don’t need bolder, brighter, louder prints to make a statement. We don’t need taller, longer, higher boots that go so far above the knee to create almost a pant-boot hybrid.
I believe the future of design will entail looking back on what was successful, taking what we have, and reshaping it for the better into an improved product. Except, it will be about minimizing the excessive, unnecessary elements to focus on the details that matter. A look at the proliferation of natural "no makeup" looks, and minimalist wardrobes demonstrate examples of such already beginning to happen.
Due to all the political turmoil that keeps occurring, fashion holds its subsequent response. I believe the future of design will entail taking aspects of the past, and adapting them to accommodate our current needs. Looking back to a simpler, happier time for inspiration. It’s not always about the go, go, go, and the do, do, do. Life has become too fast-paced, too much about progressing and advancing and innovating. We need to take a step back, breathe, and live in the moment. Live knowing that we should be enjoying the present.

Hi everyone I'm Mrs. ALEKSI TAISIYA, My husband divorced me 2 years ago to live with another woman and i have tried have him back but i could not, so i try to do many things to get him back and he refuse to come back. One faithful Friday morning, I visit a forum for tips on how to get your Ex back and there i saw a lady testifying on how Dr.AKHERE helped her to get her husband back after he was tie down with a spell by another woman. Although I never believed in spiritual work I reluctantly tried him because I was desperate and i contact him and explain my problems to him, to my greatest surprise Dr.AKHERE helped me to bring back my husband after 5days and now my relationship is more perfect just as he promised. Getting your ex back permanently does not only bring back someone you love but it will also reunite your lovers feelings. My husband now treats me like a Queen and always says he loves me all the time. If you are passing through difficulties in your relationship, Doctor AKHERE can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and some other things. I can assure he's highly potent and reliable. Email him for urgent help [AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com ] or +2349057261346 .

So happy to see you back in the blogging world, babe! Missed you and your blog lots. :) Hope everything is well with you? xoxo And this is such an interesting topic as well, and you've written it beautifully, I especially like what you said at the end about life being too fast-paced. It's so very true and reflected in a lot of things we do, including fashion! Fashion definitely represents the current socio-economic state and it always has, it's fascinating how much we can learn just by looking at people's outfits at the time! I too think that fashion will take a more simplistic turn. Beauty lies in simplicity, like you said. :) Such a lovely post hun, and again it's been so fab catching up with your blog finally! I too have been a little more inactive lately, but it's good to be back. :) xoxo

It's crazy how fashion cycles- and seems to cycling faster. The stuff I wore in the 90's are now back- that seems fast, right? Alternatively, I sorta love it because I was a kid in the 90's and didn't get the chance to FULLY dive into fashion. :)

Actually, your last part about beauty lying in simplicity reminded me about an article I read just recently about what it meant to have a "French" sense of style. Basically, it wasn't as fast-paced as Americans tend to be, but more of a structured, messy, natural look that was about embracing our flaws. And with the minimalist, vegan, etc becoming more popular, I can see how French style (or something similar) appeals to so many. This was a very interesting post! Especially the parts about how fashion plays a bigger part than just how we look; I'll admit it wasn't something I ever started getting into until I started blogging!
ReplyDeleteSam / My Beauty Cloud
That's why sometimes it's lousy to follow trends because fashion does indeed cycle. Everything back in the days have become trends now. Ha!
ReplyDeleteGreat post hun!

Welcome back dear :) I totally agree that fashion plays a bigger part now days,seem like most old things are coming back :) very interesting post.Love, Ambi

Hi Andrea! I really like your article, I totally agree with you when it comes to fact that history reapeats itself, but not in exactly the same way, it's quite different, a little bit more modern, but it's still similar to the past. What's more, you're right - when you look at the fashion and economy it's easy to notice that one has impact on the other. Moreover, personally I also see trend that everything is becoming simpler and simpler - clothes, slow food trends, etc.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely evening, dear!

Design is integral! And while fashion can be overly frivolous these days it's something that has been so for centuries. It's amazing how it defines us these days with the introduction of social media. It's influence and pull on us is greater than ever. But so is inspiration which will no doubt also influence future designs too.

Loved this post, I think it's great to diversify on your blog from time to time. What you said about the past shaping your future really resonated with me, while new styles designs may be influenced by the past they are rarely exact replicas of it.

It is interesting how cyclical fashion seems to be sometimes. Trends come back with slightly different feels.

Good day
ReplyDeleteRead my testimony! Getting ex back after a breakup.
My boyfriend of a 2year just broke up with me and am 28 weeks pregnant. I have cried myself to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot. After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me once and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy. I was really upset and I needed help, so I searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Ahmed can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and I did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my boyfriend came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Ahmed. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com call him/What’s-app: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home. I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you.
