Ulezia
Speculative Design Collection
This collection was inspired by the idea of life after death. I was told to think of a time in my life that made a huge difference on my future, and see what my life could have been like if I chose a different option. What if I actually ended up dying? I decided to research life after death and wanted to focus on the less religious side of it all. I looked more into Tv shows and movies, and studied the imaginary worlds that they created. So...
Welcome to Ulezia! "Where the e is upside because it can." Ulezia is a mixture of the words utopia: perfect world and elysian: heaven/paradise. Only the richest of the rich know about Ulezia and can go visit for a short period of time. Scientists have created a serum that allows for someone to be dead temporarily. The rich can pay for this expensive serum, but can only visit Ulezia for once a year. They can only stay in Ulezia for up to a month. Each serum has a different price for how long you would like to visit. If you're not rich, the time when you can visit Ulezia is when you die. Ulezia is a place where anything can happen. People can choose and have their own personal heavens, and there is a common ground where all the people can meet. The ground is made of clouds and trees can hang from the skies. You can do and wear or not wear whatever you like. Since this world is about doing what YOU want, if you wish to not stay in Ulezia, that is your choice. You get a week in Ulezia to choose if you'd like to stay. If you choose to go, you will disappear from all existence and can never return.
Ulezia is a place where anything can happen. These designs are meant to give a more celestial feel and take away modesty. This is world about the freedom to be you. If you want to show off skin, you very well can. When you're in the water, you glisten and shine. When you decide to fly, a cloud print appears on your clothes. Even though the rich can visit and surely bring some trends back into the real world, this does not spoil Ulezia for future residents. Ulezia is always changing. Anything can happen. Being that you can only be there for a short period of time per year and you have to be mega rich which limits the amount of people who can visit, by the time the rich return, it will be a whole new Ulezia.
