ATLANTIS, LOST CITY – In a shocking revelation that has the fashion world in an uproar, a self-proclaimed time traveler from the year 2025 has exposed what he claims to be the disturbing trend of “too many pockets” on clothing. Stumbling into our present day, the mysterious visitor was horrified by the sartorial choices of the future, leaving fashionistas and industry experts alike scratching their heads.
“It was like a nightmare,” said the time traveler, who refused to disclose his name for fear of disrupting the space-time continuum. “Everywhere I looked, people were drowning in pockets. Pockets on their sleeves, pockets on their pockets – it was madness!”
According to the time-displaced individual, the pocket proliferation of 2025 has reached absurd proportions, with even the most basic garments adorned with an excessive number of compartments. “I saw a pair of socks with built-in pockets for your toes,” he exclaimed, visibly shaken. “What could anyone possibly need to carry in their toe pockets?”
Fashion historian Dr. Ivana Trendovski offered a plausible explanation for this alleged pocket pandemonium. “In our increasingly digitized world, people may feel the need to carry more and more gadgets and gizmos,” she theorized. “As technology advances, so too does our need for storage space on our person.”
However, not everyone is buying into the time traveler’s wild claims. Renowned designer Giorgio Armaneous scoffed at the notion, dismissing it as a publicity stunt. “This is clearly a desperate attempt to generate buzz,” he sneered. “The fashion world would never stoop to such tackiness. We have standards, you know.”
Yet, the time traveler remains adamant, insisting that the future is a pocket-laden dystopia. “Mark my words, by 2025, the average person will be sporting upwards of 30 pockets on their daily attire,” he warned ominously. “And that’s just the beginning.”
As the debate rages on, one thing is certain: the world of fashion may never be the same again. Whether the time traveler’s claims are true or not, the mere suggestion of a pocket-saturated future has sent shockwaves through the industry, leaving designers and fashionistas alike to ponder the unthinkable – a world where pockets reign supreme.
