Fashion is inspired by and evolved from many different big and small changes and events in society.
It comes in waves and is often cyclical. But what is not cyclical is the progress in fabric technology.
Cyberpunk clothing is always on the rise and represents this wonderful fusion between high-tech and outlaw representative concepts.
Also playing a key role in the development of this fashion is the cyberpunk genre of games and movies. So, it’s not just that the clothes look futuristic and technical; they also are forward in terms of being more comfortable, breathable, and functional, instead of all show and no tell.
Let’s look at a few brands that have figured out the cyberpunk clothing so we know where to get our slice of this fashion.
