#Tailors

[stromuprisahat]

Shouldn't ~Healers~ be able to change appearance better than Tailors?

Sure, the Materialki part's needed to imbue tissue with colour, but shifting bones and re-arranging muscles to look like someone else? That's where you need to maintain blood circulation and avoid damaging nerves and such.

Either Genya is a wasted microsurgeon, or you don't even need Tailoring for wearing a different face, and the new regime reinvented the wheel, when they added "Tailoring" to Corporalki curriculum. It simply fell into the category of highly specialized advanced studies, whose practitioner "disappeared" after the failed Coup.

I have a couple other ideas;

Heartrenders controlling a volcra (Here)

Volcra kill because they remember the want (Here read tags as well)

Specifically with the body horror aspect I would love to see it more casually brought up, I know I went extreme in the original post( and ended up going extreme here too)

Tailors who's skin is warm and soft always, their beauty a little too blinding, they never keep a steady appearance as they appeal to what the viewer wants most, in order to gain their trust. Sometimes that backfires, someone wants to see scars, or fangs, or a monster, and what Grisha to better satisfy that then one that can be what they need. They can make wounds or hide them, they can create scars, they can give someone who wants to hurt, to see others hurting what they want and no one has to suffer, do they?

Squallers who offer comfort through the constant feeling of a warm breeze surrounding someone, the soft sound of wind through chimes or leaves. They can control music just as much, crafting songs and sounds from instruments that never existed in the first place. They become sirens, pulling people in, deafening them with sounds before they even realize they can't hear beyond the wind whistling in their ears.

Tidemakers who's body's move fluidly, their ability to dance, their flexibility is unmatched, they move like water and most feel refreshed after they talk to them. They can bend and twist their bodies so easy, it's muscle memory to show others, to force the bones to bend and break under the pressure from them and their water. Some spend too much time with it, they become similar to a deep sea creature, unblinking and adapted in ways others could never live with.

Inferni who are always the perfect temperature, who can keep a group calm, lowing their body temperatures so they're forced to settle, they can take heat as easily as they can bestow it. The can keep the others comforted, complacent on missions with only each other for comfort; heat fills the space, heat can be the phantom memories of those gone. If there is a death on the field, often an Inferni will keep the bodies warm, to not spook others. They mimic the body heat of someone next to you, a phantom partner or lover in all the wrong ways.

Heartrenders who can manipulate the chemicals and neurotransmitters in a persons brain, even if they don't know what they're doing, people always feeling happier around them, feeling calm, feeling safe. Too much of a good thing is equal to bad. They become addicted like anything else, they become desperate, even the heartrender cannot control it, and often they succumb to those they subdued if not kept safely away from others, or if they use their powers sparingly.

Fabirkators that can breathe life into inanimate things. They create toys, things to comfort young Grisha, to comfort anyone who has lost something. If they focus, if they bargain and find help in other grisha, they can bring a loved one back for a moment, they can twist and warp the corpses before burial, to give comfort to those grieving, to take from those already dead. They often forget, creating things from nothing can lead to viewing everything as a tool. How can things be combined, how can they be taken apart. Fabrikators who pull at flesh a little too easily, after all it's only components, and those that volunteer, well they never have a reason to fear their friend who made their teddy bears dance when they were scared.

Amplifiers that find themselves connected to Grisha in ways they cannot explain. They can sense pain, fear, happiness, they can sometimes sense before the Grisha know themsevles, the whispers of power from under small fingers. They push too much into some, exhausting their power when they pull back, leaving material for the Fabrikators to take apart. Whispers of Grisha killing their own is what the Amplifiers bring. They find the ability to comfort, showing Grisha that their powers are not to be feared, that they can stop too much power leaking out. Small hands reaching for them, crying out for parents who cannot stay, the amplifiers find themselves drowning in both grisha power and human emotions no heartrender can hope to break the bond of.

Sun Summoners, Lightbringers, who always shine. They excel in anything they try, learning, power control, it comes easy to them because praise, love is light. Grisha find themselves blinded, the way sunlight is too warm, the way light trickles into the cracks. Even those that hate find themselves warmed and drawn into the light, moths to a flame. They can blind as easily as they comfort, creating blisters and welts, sunburns and heatstroke, photosensitivity can burn into someone's eyes and brain and leaving them with a body that jerks beyond their command.

Shadow Summoners, Shadowbringers, that keep those that are forgotten. They pull those that are lesser, Grisha who can't keep up with the training, grisha who's powers do not follow the strict pathways they army wants. They take those that slip through the cracks. They spends hours training in pitch black until themselves and the grisha no longer need their sight to kill. They use the shadows to move around, creating shapes and monsters, creatures and enemies not only to scare but to protect each other. They take the absence of light and create the world within it. They plunge anyone who goes against them in the lack of, sensory deprivation at it's strongest. They either slowly let the senses come back or flood them with the removal of shadow all at once, neither are survivable

Wearing a bow tie is a statement. Almost an act of defiance.

- Angus Cundey, owner of Henry Poole & Co, Savile Row

If you're going to wear a bow tie - especially on a tuxedo - it simply needs to be one that you tied yourself.

Scratch that. No if’s about it.

Any self respecting man who is serious about being a gentleman who cares about the way he presents himself to the world should know how to tie a real bow tie.

Anyone and his dog can always identify a pre-tied bow tie by the fact that it's just  a little too studied. Perfectly straight, perfectly symmetrical, and  perfectly balanced. Just like plastic surgery, clip-on bow ties just  look too perfect to be real. It is one of the most obvious  signs that you're a style amateur.

Avoid pre-tied bow ties (and its ugly sibling the stick-on bow tie) like the plague....unless you’re a child who is unable to tie his own bow tie.

Bow ties are supposed to be imperfect and worn with what Italians call, "sprezzatura" - an Italian word that first appears in Baldassare Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier in 1528 - that means a disheveled elegance by way of studied  carelessness.

Perfect symmetry is not a goal worth pursuing here. Being an elegant gentleman is.

Western Fashion's Effect on Indian Culture

Numerous social and cultural developments, including modernism, technological growth, and creative movements, have an impact on fashion and lifestyle trends in today's society and culture. Examples of this include technological advancement, modernization, and artistic movements. Their activities have had far-reaching effects on the rest of the world as a result of the events. Fashion is modeled after consumer lives and cultural contexts, according to a paradigm for fashion study and interpretation that takes into account the interplay of changes in fashion, changes in consumer lifestyles, and changes in cultural surroundings. The rest of this definition makes use of the interactionist paradigm. Because it places a strong focus on interpersonal contact, it is also known as the interactionist model or interactionist framework.

The philosopher asserted that the only thing that remains constant in the universe is change, calling it "the only thing that is constant." He declared, "Change is the only thing that is constant." In other words, fashion is nothing more than a passing craze that is meant to be transient and is always changing and appearing. Throughout history, creative minds have made their mark on the fashion industry by employing a range of unique and inventive methods. Regardless of the activity they are involved in, everyone wants to always feel and look their best. This is true regardless of their career. This holds true regardless of their experience in the workplace. Regardless of their prior employment history, this is accurate. Whether or not they have previous work experience, this is still true.

One of the oldest and most prosperous civilizations in the world, Indian culture is said to be seriously threatened by the current condition of affairs and may not survive in the future. The UN claims that the world would be in severe danger if Indian culture, which has endured for thousands of years, disappeared. Despite the fact that Indian culture is under threat in various ways, one of the biggest is the development of Western civilization, which is gradually taking over the country and destroying the customs of its indigenous peoples. Everyone acknowledges that western culture is flexible and has instilled in us the value of independence in our daily lives, However, this does not mean that we should abandon our customs and slavishly adhere to the legal systems of other people. Others contend that our long-standing practice of accepting novel concepts from other nations shouldn't be interpreted as a warning sign that we could soon lose our moral convictions. India has seen changes in its design patterns over time due to a multitude of factors, including the country's historical Islamic conquest, western colonization, and influx of international traders.

Western fashion's effects on Indian culture:-

As was previously mentioned, India is a melting pot of cultural diversity, which has made Indians hospitable to individuals from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. Multiple ethnic groups cohabit regularly in a nation, and each group learns about the customs and languages of the others. Intercultural learning, to put it simply, is the process by which people become aware of one another's languages and cultures. It is a long-observed occurrence that bears the following definition: Every ethnic group has its own distinct style when it comes to attire, therefore for those who are unaware with it, meeting someone from a different ethnic group for the first time can be a fascinating experience. The fashion industry in India inspires women to choose more creative and daring looks for themselves. Indian fashion designers have achieved the highest degrees of inventiveness and international recognition in recent years due to their ability to blend several styles into their designs. It has allowed them to gain recognition on a global scale.

Western-style fashion is gaining popularity among consumers of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds, and it's one of the retail company sectors that is expanding the fastest in the last few years. In addition, it is among the least expensive choices on the market. History reveals that the American Old West region, which emerged in the seventeenth century, is where traditional western clothing originated. The foundation of this brand, which is available for online purchase by both men and women, is made-to-order basics like t-shirts, jeans, and jackets. Due to the company's expansion and the enormous increase in diversity that has taken place since its founding, clients may now choose from a wide range of commodities and fashion trends. Over time, the notion of western clothes has expanded to include a diverse array of goods, including but not limited to casual t-shirts, pants, dresses, skirts, and suits. Western attire comprises of things such as dresses, skirts, suits, pants, and casual tee shirts. The category of western clothes encompasses things such as dresses, skirts, suits, pants, and casual t-shirts. The following clothing items are included in the category of western apparel: dresses, skirts, suits, pants, and casual tee shirts. "Western wear" is another term for apparel from the West. Traditionally, western attire has been associated with items such as dresses, skirts, suits, pants, and casual tee shirts. People of different ethnic backgrounds and origins find comfort, durability, and variety in clothing that appeals to them.

For a very long time, customers in India did not anticipate women working physically because it was not seen as normal. This has, however, lately altered. But things are starting to change here. But things have shifted a lot in the last few years. If you look closely at the pictures, you'll notice that the women's traditional Indian attire was completely unfit for someone participating in a physically demanding exercise. It is therefore more difficult for women to move freely within the culture in which they live when they wear in traditional attire. A woman's body is covered in a long length of cloth, called a saree, from her waist to her toes. As was already said, because the legs are not completely straight, their range of motion is limited. This causes it to feel uncomfortable when it comes into contact with surrounding female body parts.

Additionally, moving huge articles of clothes, such as sarees and lehengas, from one area to another may be time-consuming and difficult. Unless the labor is of a specific kind, there are no hard and fast rules to follow, and even then, the criteria may vary depending on how heavy the garments are, to begin with. Weight-wise, bridal lehengas are much more severe than regular lehengas and saris, both popular choices for Indian brides.

Conversely, women feel far more at ease in western apparel, such as jeans, perhaps because of the way they are made. These clothes are significantly more comfortable than traditional Indian clothing. The loose fit of western clothing facilitates women's respiration and movement, enabling them to be more active in daily life.

CONCLUSION:-

Since more and more Indian females start dressing largely in Western clothing, it is expected that this trend would continue. The variety of clothing styles is increasing, and they can be seen in anything from shirts and pants to T-shirts and skirt sets and other similar-looking products. People can choose from a comprehensive collection of costumes in a wide range of color options to suit their specific likes and hobbies. Wearing western attire gives you a more polished and appealing appearance while you are out and about in public. Sadly, there is no escaping this fact of reality.

Just as Western attire might be lovely in some circumstances, ethnic dress can also be magnificent in others. Though it may be attractive in some scenarios. Consumers may frequently dress in formal and casual settings with stylish, classic apparel. It fits in with both settings and events. Women can choose from a variety of ethnic clothing options, including sarees, salwar kameez, lehengas, churidars, and other styles that can be customized to complement their entire appearance, if they prefer a more traditional look. Muslim women in southern India have historically worn salwar kameez, while Hindu ladies in northern India have traditionally worn sarees.

To go with your ensembles, you may also buy saree fabrics in a variety of colors and patterns. There are saris made of georgette, chiffon, and cotton and silk, among other materials. Bridal lehengas and shararas are beautiful garments worn for formal occasions like weddings and other social gatherings in many cultures, including Indian culture. This is especially true for Indian women who are getting married. No matter where it originates, clothing has a distinct style, whether it is western or ethnic. On the other hand, some women believe that dressing in ethnic attire makes them more comfortable than dressing in western attire.

Conversely, some claim. They feel more at ease dressed in Western apparel than in traditional attire. In this instance, it would be ridiculous to try to persuade someone that one is better than the other. Though most of the time an individual's attire is determined by the event to which they have been invited, this is not always the case. For instance, what to wear to a wedding depends on the color of the gown. Nonetheless, the average member of our society finds it impossible to understand the history and customs of our nation when viewed through the prism of western attire and culture.

The Jewish family stitching for the King

A family of Jewish tailors will see their work feature heavily in King Charles III’s coronation procession — and on the King himself.  Their firm, Kashket & Partners, is the main supplier of ceremonial outfits for Britain’s armed forces. It also has a special history with the royal family.  Chief executive Russell Kashket created the uniform worn by Prince William at his wedding. 

Now new BBC documentary Coronation Tailors: Fit for a King will take the cameras into the Tottenham factory where items for the King — secret until the day itself — as well as 6,000 other uniforms are being made for the coronation by the firm’s small army of tailors.
