Metropolis Fashion
For the film METROPOLIS, whose theme and design forge new paths, I was confronted with challenges of a totally new kind. It wasn’t enough to design the fashion of tomorrow already slumbering in today’s mind or, for that matter, slumbering in the day after tomorrow, certain to take shape in the minds of great fashion designers the next day. I had to create fashions of the year 2000 – a time that we think of as existing at a fantastic distance, and which, for that reason,can only take shape in one’s fantasy – Aenne Willkomm
