I was saddened that Alexander McQueen killed himself this week: he
was always our designer, the designer of science fiction. Look at his
magnificent last show:

But that got me thinking. This week the fashions at fashion week are
heavily influenced by SF, and not just the usual dystopia-as-punk
theme, but a bunch of alien nature Avatar stuff. E.g., Gaultier:

It makes me wonder if it's a harbinger. SF has invaded in a
definitive way haute couture. The last, left-behind geeks finally
have inherited the highest promintories....
