i was out scouring bookshops on saturday looking for the philip k dick one which i evently bought on amazon (typical), but for 5$ i found a book published in 1982 called Fashion 2001 by lucille khoronak in a large oversized format.
in it various top designers of the day are asked to predict the future. sketches and sometimes images are made. most of the photo's have a 80's new romatic look too them with stiff poses to match. curiously there is a sketch for the shoe's i'm after in it.
the only real image i liked (but the books a laugh anyway) is what appears to be an EGL in white...

A friend of mine always jokes that when he was growing up in the 1960’s, it was believed that everyone would be wearing jumpsuits and owning flying cars. He says he’s still pissed off that he can’t go to the moon and stay at a Hilton.
Do Androids Dream Star Trek Dreams
Do Dollies Dream of EGL
Who knows...
And to answer Brad who seems to be melting down like the witch in the Wizard of Oz...Yes, our future never came and it may never come if the people in charge get their way.
I really would like to see flying cars or a cute cyber babes in my lifetime but, I just have to settle for what is available here and now.
As Densha was prone to say ＿|￣|○
I think that visions of future usually tells us more about the society (hopes, fears,..) which has them than about the future itself.
