As animal fur is no longer appropriate for people to buy new, a puffer is embroidered with recycled fabric that was laser cut to mimic the movement of a fur jacket. Jeans layered over pants and sweats showing a boxer short waistband are actually each a single item. A satin trench is not a coat but a party dress. In the future, a garment that appears to serve one function may serve another, seeing as certain materials will be reinterpreted for new uses. Performance tailoring is made from mesh lined stretch materials suitable for hiking, cycling, or anything. Super destroyed suits show a loving amount of wear already. Other pre crinkled tailored suits don’t ever need an iron. Tailored suits made in T shirt jersey are stonewashed and pre stretched to look worn and are extra comfortable. Suits and coats are made to be worn anywhere. Throughout the game, other avatars wear the Balenciaga Fall 2021 collection. Beyond that is a mountain, atop which waits a surprise, once the player completes some challenges. A store exit leads to busy street and further on to a dark forest in which a secret rave is going on. In Afterworld each player chooses an avatar and takes it on a hero’s journey set in the year 2031. Treatments tease out the aging process of materials, emphasizing the idea of wearing something for decades or repurposing it forever. The game and the collection imagine a near future in which clothing is meant to transform over many years. On December 6th, it is introduced to the public in Afterworld: The Age of Tomorrow a video game designed especially for this season. It is first presented on a VR runway visible only via a headset sent out to a limited number of guests. The Fall 21 collection is an expression and evolution of the Summer 21 Pre-Collection (shown digitally this past October), making its first appearance off-season, in December of 2020.
