hmm...revitalizing this thread because i'm having some thoughts today, namely on fashion. have you ever thought about the fact that our fashion culture is largely defined by complexes? session TCPs, being the original TCPs, set that trend by having the vast majority of clothes introduced to them via their players...meaning that their fashion sense as a species branch is largely defined by the choices of others. Morbitian TCPs, the species branch to follow, do have more options in terms of crafting clothes for themselves, but being a newer species more likely to spawn in already-populated areas, most TCP fashion is derivative of existing styles from other species and their cultures. there are a lot of TCP designers out there doing great work (especially fond of [DOLLHOUSE_DRESSUP]'s pieces, even the stuff that's made for general use and not high profile clients), but almost everything does seem to build on complex needs and conventions...
i don't have a statement or anything on whether this is moral or immoral or anything like that, but i find it pretty curious. our species isn't standardized in almost any way, with all kinds of body plans and physical needs...what would our fashion culture look like in a vaccumn? would it develop similarly, or would it be entirely different?
if anyone knows any other designers doing more out there stuff, i'd really like to hear about it. oh, another discussion point- what kind of clothes do you think would benefit your ability and physiology?
