World 220

In World 220, humans have established a new relationship with their garments and stains. The era of bleaches and cleaners that polluted the planet’s waters has come to an end. It is gratifying to stroll through the streets and observe how people proudly display the marks that reflect their life and experiences. In this world, individuals prefer to wear clothing in light tones, whites, and beiges, as they are more prone to getting stained easily.

Does this World remind you of something?

I am keen to hear about any historical or contemporary real-world examples – whether individual practices, subcultures or mainstream activities – that this fiction brings to mind.

Please share any such examples using this form. Thank you!
