L.A. 2013: We have come across this really intriguing magazine piece published by the L.A. Times in 1988 as a look to what they envisioned the year 2013 to be like. Looking back at this is fascinating, it gives a completely strange idea of how we could be living now. Some things such as 3-D screens are relatively accurate, however ideas such as robot-pets are quite far from reality. It's so interesting to see what people 25 years ago thought could be complete normality now. If you want to read the whole thing then you can find it here. I wonder what the world will be like in 25 years from now, what are your predictions?

Daily Favourite #6
Blade Runner
A film that has caught our eye for inspiration is the cult classic Blade Runner. Made in 1982 it depicts the future as a place that could sample the retro past references alongside the futuristic life. We love how it uses futuristic, modern fashion paired with more retro fashion to create interesting and unique ensembles that portray an idea of the future. Also, the punky edge of some pieces such as dog collars add a bit of angst and reference the time in which it was made. What we love about this film is that it portrays an idea of what the future could be, which is exactly what this sixth issue of Third Floor intends to do. We are portraying our ideas of what the future could hold. Have you seen Blade Runner? What do you think the future could hold?
