Over here you can see a poster advertising the New Years Eve Fashion Show of World 80, presenting the new collection for the four seasons of the following year. Get ready for timeless chic and gender-neutral merino styles. Find this year’s outfit for your work, home and hobby. Literally perfect for every day! Get up, get ready and enjoy the monotony. See you at the next washing day!
In World 80 everyone wears four outfits maximum per month, which are made of 100% merino wool. People are also following a specific diet to minimize body smell. Stains can be brushed out easily at the local brushing shops. They meet monthly at the big washing day which is followed by the changing day to bring more individuality to the closet.
