Laurelhurst School Foundation

People have been asking about what they should wear to the Auction. The answer is, of course whatever you want! If you want to have fun, though dress for the future! What does that mean? Well, how do you see the world in 20, 30, 100, or 1,000 years–a wonderful Utopia where we’ve solved all the world’s problems but we all have to wear color-coded jumpsuits, or a dystopian landscape where replicants and clones do battle with robots but everyone dresses in 40s noir with panache, or do you prefer leather chaps with a sawed-off shotgun to protect the last few drops of gasoline. I’d like to think the future will be more Star Trek than Mad Max, but I’m not sure which view has the better fashion sense. Here’s some pics to help shape your vision….click left/right arrows for navigating after opening first image.
