The year is 2608. The world as we know it has been completely depleted of all of its raw materials. The people on planet earth are very different, everything they use, wear, produce and consume is some form of plastic. However, there is still a group of young, very fashionable, rogue hipsters that are the only thing left of the fashion scene in New York City. These hipsters rule Brooklyn and the garments that they construct are made entirely from the found materials that they find in their journeys throughout the massive piles of trash that now form the skyline in New York City. All their garments are very geometric since they are formed from the scraps of older more treasured organic materials like muslin. Metal is also a treasured material and is difficult to find since the great plastic takeover in 2550 when metal was taken away from the people and owned only by royalty. The metal these hipsters use is darker, dirty, and laiden with rust, which helps the group blend in better with the huge trash piles and avoid being discovered and captured by the government.
