The May 15, 1957 Chicago Tribune ran a piece titled, “Tell Future of Fashions in Exhibit.” The story described the apparel on display at Marshall Field at the time, which depicted the fashions of the year 2000. An excerpt appears below.
Most of the designers represented agreed that the fashionable woman of the future will be wired for sound, with sending and receiving equipment built into her costume. Fabrics will be treated to be warm in winter and cool in summer. Some will screen the sun to allow tanning without burning while others, used in bathing suits, will make them unsinkable.
