A few of us were lamenting the lack of any seasonal trends and cultural fashion promotion lately so we've decided to take it upon ourselves to provide it! Our aim is to hopefully form a collaboration of CHEs, MHOs and other interested parties to make Elanthia fashionable again! We've already approached a few of the obvious organisations/people but if you feel this is something you might be interested in then please contact either myself (Rohese) or Riend and we'll bring you on board the planning process.
Rohese (who is determined to bring cabochons and shoulder-length gloves back)

Thank you to everyone who came to the Elanthian Elegance round table yesterday, it was a great turnout and a very lively discussion. These were the main points:
[*]Riend and Rohese to introduce seasonal trends on both sides of the Dragonspine starting with "Summer in the City" (date/s and location/s to be decided) and incorporating ideas from interested parties.
[*]Host a fashion show later in the year to allow participants to show off their fashionable creations from the season. Perhaps collaborate with CHE/MHOs to arrange a GM merchanting session for the event.
[*]Consider doing salon make-over sessions for a small consultancy fee. Participant gets to keep their new look (outfit, accessories, make-up etc.)
[*]Arrange a thrift sale of fashionable donations or perhaps even sell some low-priced items from a cart (with help from CHEs/MHOs)
[*]Set up a low cost order and delivery service of make-up items.
[*]Organise some social events to dress up for!
Let Riend (Jhynnifer) or I know if you wish to join our googlegroup!

I posted on the PC, but I'll add it in here, too. If any fashion/alteration minded folks would be willing to donate their time, I was hoping to do an event in early october. I was thinking a few hours spent offering the aforementioned individuals services in assisting people design costumes. I would ask people to bring some or all the items they want to get altered and work with our specialists to turn their ideas into a workable/viable/alteration guideline following costume design.
Then, a second night, hopefully, get a merchant to spend an hour or two altering specifically for costume related designs.
And, the third night, invite everyone to the grand hall of the Alabaster Spire for a masquerade.. wear your costume or as much of it as you have done. Drink, dance, wander the grounds, look at everyone's costumes. And three people's costumes.. method of judging yet to be decided.. will win an altered whisper mask.. or some other prize, yet to be determined.
Maybe let people present their costumes, maybe just look at everyone as they're going around, maybe question everyone.. maybe let everyone there pick their favorite and tally them.. opinions are, of course, welcome.
So, that's the general idea. I'm just looking for volunteers at this point. Thanks!

For those that missed the events today, and are interested in all things fashion, here are Rohese's notes on seasonal elven trends for the summer:
For those that missed Roh and Riend's talk today on summer fashion trends and are interested, this is the elven perspective. I'll let Riend post hers if she wishes to
LADIES
Summer is a time for light, airy fabrics. Raw silks, chainsil and organza predominate with heavier damasks for evening or formal wear.
Day gowns should be simple in design with the option of adding coordinated layers for a more structured look.
Evening gowns are tending towards more volume but mostly around the skirt and hemline if the figure allows. Bodices and corsets should minimize the waistline wherever possible.
Ornate embellishments such as embroidery or beadwork should be avoided this season, allowing the quality of the fabrics to speak for themselves. Simplicity is key.
Necklines are low but modest, with a trend towards the use of scarves or even bib necklaces and pectorals.
The overall silhouette is soft and naturalistic, with accessories in contrast.
With the fabrics tending towards the paler and more neutral shades, the focus should be on making strong statements with jewellery and shoe adornments.
Natural elements such as shells and pearls are popular this season, use them to full effect with metallic settings. Comb those beaches!
GENTLEMEN
The men will be relieved to hear that thin leather is in for trousers, worn snugly, although some may wish to opt for the more comfortable chamois or suede for less formal occasions.
Outerwear should co-ordinate, with clean lines and leather trim, or simply long-sleeved tunics in a lighter fabric for those warmer days. Ramie linen and silks are prevalent.
Lengths are longer this season, seeing more knee-length coats for evening wear and day jackets tailored over the hip.
Belt buckles lend themselves to touches of frivolity for ceremonial functions with elaborate motifs or insignia being on display.
Boots are tall, with a preference for capped or pointed toes and in more sturdy materials such as granulated or nubuck leathers with the emphasis on the visible grain pattern.
