The Fashion of Sci-fi Futures

Visions of the future are common in science fiction. From "The Fifth Element" to "Doctor Who" to "The Hunger Games," we have imagined the future of fashion time and time again. But what if...it's all weird and messed up and we have to write a video essay about it? What if it's gender? What if we did a gender? A feminism? Boys in skirts? It's all here!
