Tribal inspired fashion is a concept that never goes out of trend. Taking beautiful traditions and giving them a modern outlook is why this trend is constantly re-formed in the fashion industry.
The last factor from Brave New World I am researching is the theme of tribes. The Zuni tribe is an important aspect of the novel as it is used to ultimately contrast the utopian world the characters are living in with ‘the real world’, which they are restricted from visiting. Life on the reservation differs extremely with life in the World State. Pain, suffering, disease, filth and old age still exist whereas in the World State, science has managed to abolish anything which interferes or impairs the physical well being of citizenry.
I have found the conflict between science and technology against tradition to be very reminiscent to our present way of life. Technology is replacing tradition and it is difficult to distinguish whether this is for better or worse, which is what Huxley is trying to warn his readers in the novel.
