High fashion often looks out of this world. WSU senior Brandon Dunbar is designing pieces to be worn on another planet.
Dunbar’s style has echoes of sci-fi and cyberpunk, with sharp lines, futuristic shapes, and bold colors. “I wanted to imagine what life would look like on Mars,” said the WSU Department Apparel, Merchandising, Design, and Textiles (AMDT) student.
After originally starting on a business and marketing degree at a community college, Dunbar decided to transfer to WSU to learn about textiles and clothing.
Rather than the more avant garde style of fashion seen on the runways which exaggerate the final look of clothes for a more theatrical debut, Dunbar said he went in a more realistic direction.

Titled “Zeitgeist,” the show features collections inspired by current society’s changes and challenges, including the experience of immigrants, the struggle for democracy, barriers that women face, and the loss of friends to gun violence. Multiple designers address issues of ethics, environmentalism, equality, and inclusivity through creative fashion. Others pursue exploration and seek utopias and a futuristic world.

Veronica Caldwell, freshman biochemistry major, said they wear whatever they want to wear because it shouldn’t matter what other people think.
“At the end of the day, you have to be happy with what you decide to wear, rather than what other people think of you. You are not who the world thinks you should be,” Caldwell said.
