Career Development, Wednesday, First Period
Class was in the Danger Shop again today, but when the students stepped in, they'd be entering a warm Spring day on a vaguely European-looking street, well-dressed pedestrians milling around and going in and out of shops.
"Welcome," Hannibal greeted them in a stylish dark turquoise suit with faint magenta plaid and a bright yellow pocket square. "There is a rack there for your coats, if you'd like; I thought we could use some better weather."
He gestured at the street. "This is a combination of several fashion districts, and the people here are wearing a variety of styles. One of the advantages to going nowhere real. Next week is Valentine's Day - for those of you not from Earth or this culture, it is commonly used as an opportunity for romance, and many people may want to go on dates. Part of that is dressing nicely. Not that dressing nicely is ever not called for."
Well, maybe under certain circumstances, but that could be a different class.
"So, you are here to learn about and observe different fashions and to help each other find fashions and clothing that suit you. Current tradition is suits for men," he pointed out his own and a few others on the pedestrians, "and dresses or pant suits for women." He pointed at a few of those nearby. "Colors depend upon your preference; the current trend is for monochrome black and white, but anything that you can make work is acceptable. Flower prints or embroidery are often popular in Spring."
He looked the students over. "I would suggest you pair up - or get into a larger group, if you're so inclined - and help each other to shop. A second or third opinion can be invaluable. Look at the pedestrians here for inspiration, go through the shops to see what they have, and put together an outfit. Then you can come back here and model them for the class. Hopefully you will each find a style that suits you. I will also be available to help, should you wish."
He bowed them toward the stores.
