Fashion inspired by Owell's 1984
Dystopian fashion for the consumate Party member, complete with pockets that completely block your phone-signal and wi-fi.

Not sure it's the look for me, but the basic t-shirts are no bad.

RE: Fashion inspired by Owell's 1984
I'm amused and appalled. Only Orwell himself could suitably comment:

Quote:One striking thing when one looks at these pictures is the overbred, exhausted, even decadent style of beauty that now seems to be striven after. Nearly all of these women are immensely elongated. A thin-boned, ancient-Egyptian type of face seems to predominate: narrow hips are general, and slender, non-prehensile hands like those of a lizard are quite universal. Evidently it is a real physical type, for it occurs as much in the photographs as in the drawings. Another striking thing is the prose style of the advertisements, an extraordinary mixture of sheer lushness with clipped and sometimes very expensive technical jargon.

I already have a Mao jacket, got my Chinese girlfriend to buy me an old one.
