Serious readers of science fiction prefer the abbreviation SF. SCI-FI : A term often used for science fiction primarily by people outside the field.

I’m not expert in sci-fi, and as much as I like the aesthetics, ideas and themes, I’d rather watch the movie than read it, according to Magic Dragon: Ultimate Science Fiction Guide, just using the term ‘sci-fi’ puts me in the outsider category

In this post, I want to show the connections between a few specific sci-fi genres, and their context in the current direction of fashion trends. It was a combination of clean ’60’s space-age style and utilitarian, sort of something an off-duty space cadet would wear, I named the line “Brave New Girl.” In doing this assignment, I did a lot of research and one of the things that really stuck with me for some reason, was finding out just how many genres and sub-genres of science-fiction there are, it’s attached to almost anything, from aesthetics to politics and deals with social and philosophical issues as wide and varied in topics from feminism to population control to nature to bureaucracy to reality and memory, etc…done in the most imaginative way, it’s a goldmine for fashion inspiration and it’s influence can be seen for Spring/Summer 2011. My theme was a line of contemporary tops and jackets that were influenced by science-fiction. In 2003, I had to come up with a collection for a Fashion Merchandising class.
