Just about the time our aging parents were in elementary school this 1930's newsreel  came out predicting today's fashions.

How close did they get?

I think the guy with the phone and radio was the #1 Best Prediction because that has certainly happened with cellphones and MP3 players.

Also, the fashion designer who predicted skirts would disappear didn't hit it on the bull's eye, but he got close since many women now wear pants.

What did you think about the electric headlight hair?

Do we dare predict what the fashions will be 100 years from now?
