Wellllllllll, there are also very different production and safety standards for products intended for animal use versus products intended for human use.
Those people using horse shampoo may well be exposing themselves to something far more hazardous.
So, I doubt you can literally just put horse shampoo in a bottle intended for humans.
It’s the Silicon Valley way. Conduct business while ignoring all laws until someone enforces them. And then when they do try to enforce, fight using your ill gotten gains to pay for the lawyers!
It is surprisingly hard to find cyberpunk clothes. IRL they end up just looking like you’re hanging with Neo in the Matrix. If you search for “cyberpunk clothes” on Google you just see a wall of blackness. I want to get something more in the Jetsons/Tron futury cyberpunk style. You only see that shit on the runways, almost never even in the fancy clothing stores. When you do, it’s almost always designed for human bodies with breasts.
Techwear can be rather monotone, but I take that as an opportunity to combine it with colors. Especially since most of it relies on accessories and jackets. Or carefully selected sportwear during the warmer months.
Yeah Techwear is the ‘pragmatic’ side of dressing for a cyberpunk future. I have been oft tempted by such things but the price plus the fact that I’m not currently in an urban environment never got me over the line.
My good college friend living in Vancouver however, he eats that shit up. Some dope stuff out there if you shop around.
You’d imagine that with the way that people decorate their PCs with RGB LEDs that cyberpunk wear would be so colorful that you’d be forgiven for thinking a Unicorn shat on them.
We aren’t far off, really. Glowing glasses and tie makes for a good outfit at a Synthwave show. I’m working on adding RGB to one of my paintball guns and coming up with a cyberpunk outfit for games. It’s all gonna come together in time.
But with a combination of EL panels, cutouts, and scrim fabric or similar, you could definitely have that cool jacket from the Cyberpunk 2020 trailers.
Also, frankly, the world would have been a lot kinder to him if he’d been more traditionally attractive. I think he was seen as a joke for reasons other then how freaking awesome that outfit was.
I think it’s more about subtlety and interesting integration. A few glowing seams, a few points of light from your headgear, maybe a cool illuminated logo.
We already have computer screen watches so by my take we’ve crossed the social Rubicon.
Or you can go full Naomi Wu with her underglow skirt, live display boots, and high power light-pipe illuminated breast implants…
