These funny illustrations come from a story in the January 1893 issue of The Strand magazine, “Future Dictates of Fashion,” where they predicted the next 100 years of fashion. And they really, really missed the mark。

这些有趣的插图来自1837年1月的Strand杂志，杂志刊登了一篇题为“未来时尚概述”的文章，内容是未来一百年的服装潮流预测。但是，这预测真是不靠谱啊!

Well, I guess not too far off the mark for the turn of the century. But these fashions look a bit like a community theater production of My Fair Lady。

好吧，关于新世纪之初的预测还不算太离谱。但是也太像电影《窈窕淑女》里面社区剧院的戏服了吧。

The Roaring Twenties looks more like the “Roaring Bloomers。”

咆哮的二十年代看起来更像是“咆哮的灯笼裤”啊!

Hmmmm… maybe they thought people in the ’30s would be into Little Bo Peep fashions?

嗯……也许他们以为30年代的人会喜欢牧羊女小波碧那种风格?

they all look like they’re going to an awesome New Year’s Eve party。

他们看起来是要参加新年派对吧。

OK, seriously, why did they think people in the ’50s would want to be dressed like court jesters?

不是吧，他们怎么会认为50年代的人会把自己打扮地像个宫廷小丑?

Is it just me, or do these look like costumes from Pirates of the Caribbean?

难道只有我一个人觉得这些衣服很像《加勒比海盗》里的戏服?

Let’s be honest, this is better than 90% of 1970s fashion。

老实说，这比90%的70年代衣服都要好看。

Apparently they thought that Victorian fashions would be in vogue again in the 1980s。

显然他们认为80年代维多利亚风又会流行起来。

Mmmmm. OK, 1993 looks very androgynous. No seriously, is that a man or woman?

嗯，90年代走中性路线。不是吧，这到底是男人还是女人啊?
