"Fashion is a novel," the 2020 look book's notes state. Apparently, it's several.

In a global-warming apocalypse, being cold (or dressing like it's a danger) will be the ultimate status symbol.

Seriously what the fuck is on their feet? I mean I know a lot of high fashion is... not practical. But that's fucking ugly.

I immediately recognized Michael Whelan's Amazing Dragon and Passage: The Avatar. Any others?

There are feet? Oh, I had the wrong view. Yes, there are feet, and they are wrapped in what looks like foam pipe insulation and duct tape. But boiler-room ugly is fine if people want boiler-room ugly. It's the flashbacks to Waldenbooks circa 1982 that's bothering me.

Weren't they called Moon Boots back in the day?

Yes, moon boots. I was a child in the 80s and it is clear that the future is full of clammy stinky feet. Jesus, it's like everywhere I look people are nostalgic for the hell we climbed out of.
The motif of this speaks to me, though, I read soooo many books that looked like these.

I had a pair of rainbow Moon Boots in the late 1970s, and then they came back in fashion in the late 1990s and I sold them for lots of money on eBay, and now maybe that buyer can sell them for even more money.

I call this brand of hyper on-point nostalgia "praying for a redo".

I think the reference to the The Exorcist cover is incorrect. The image is from the poster for the William Friedkin movie adaptation rather than the book cover.

My special collections colleague Rebecca Baumann of the Lilly Library at IU is a huge fan of pulp paperback art and she and a few friends devoted a Twitter thread to finding the sources of the art used in the campaign.
