Citadel Fashion Weeks 2022 (Sept 5th - Oct 2nd)

Hello Fashion Victims!

It’s that time of the year - hosted by @rawliverandcigarettes​ and @bronzeagelove​, Citadel Fashion Weeks are about to begin!

Over four weeks, we’re going to be looking at several types of Mass Effect fashion. Do you have headcanons about various races? What are the differences or similarities between them? We encourage you to let your imagination run wild, both in the Milky Way and in Andromeda!

For those who want, we’ll be providing all of you with free-to-use base models for some of the Mass Effect species. Don’t see your favorite? Don’t worry! These weeks are open to any and all races you wish to use.You can use your own characters, in-game characters, you can make text posts, in-game edits, moodboards, playlists, we accept all forms of creativity! Of course, this includes accessories like tattoos, jewelry and makeup!

These are themed weeks, which work for both the Milky Way and Andromeda species. We added in some questions to spark creativity, but feel free to go as far outside the box as you want:

Casual Week (September 5th-11th) - Clothing can be a powerful form of expression. How do people in the Mass Effect universe dress when they’re off duty? Do styles mix among those living in places like the Citadel or the Nexus? How has it changed from before and after achieving space travel?

Work Week (September 12th-18th) - The workplace doesn’t have to be dull. What do suits, lab coats, armour and uniforms look like? Do working dress codes differ between the races?

Gala Week (September 19th-25th) - We all want to dress up every once in awhile. What does formal wear look like in the galaxy? What kinds of fabrics or embellishments are used? How is formal wear used to make political statements?

Free Week (September 26th- October 2nd) - This week allows any and all kinds of creativity and fun. Ever wanted to draw a hanar in a bunny costume? See how the vorcha rock satin ballgowns? This is the week for you!!

Salarian Fashion! 💙👽

A shame BioWare missed out on the fashion for their aliens. I kept their humid environment in mind when designing these, and used colors as vibrant as their skin! Soon, I’d like to try my hand at the other species. Saw you guys liked my other salarian art 💜

CITADEL CHIC MAGAZINE: Dr. Liara T’Soni

Finished Mass Effect 3 the other day and got thinking about the casual clothing/civilian wear in the game. Model and budget constraints means there’s not a whole lot of variety, and many of the non-armored pieces aren’t to my personal taste. So I thought it’d be cute to do a fake Citadel magazine, starting off with featuring Liara.

Notes on Asari fashion: From what I’ve noticed, Asari fashion favors a very feminine silhouette, especially skin-tight, with tasteful additions to encourage an hourglass silhouette (Samara’s shoulder armor, Liara’s coat tails, Aria’s cropped coat: all help with this silhouette). Characters who don’t wear skin tight clothes frequently have cut outs to embellish traditionally feminine styles (Matriarch Benezia’s iconic boob window). While planning out an outfit I kept these in mind!

Some earlier outfit ideas! Went with the third for Liara. I really like the 60’s-esque sort of vibe to it and I thought it matched her personality. The first one is also very pretty but I was thinking more for the Asari councilor!

This early afternoon I found some nice pics of paradise burbs I think they’re amazing and goofy at the same time so I declared that Paradise armors should be a thing. In my imagination obviously, because yeah, it’s… too much. Also, a small note: this is not intended to be realistic <<“ just for fun Thanks @palavenmoons for the holo-feathers idea/integration <3

Desora. Oh Desora. She was really my first turian oc and honestly what a babe. Desora Arterius was the secret child of Saren Arterius and she did her best to follow in her father's original footsteps. A bit of a hardcase, admittedly. But hey as far as designs go she wasn't bad considering I hadn't quite nailed down the art thing yet.

I may have made this up but I've been driving myself crazy looking for it... I swear I saw a post on Tumblr detailing a headcanon that gloves are so common in Asari fashion because they view their hands as erogenous zones. The post was specifically inspired by the line that Benezia turned a lot of heads with her pin-striped suits. The poster said that's because the Asari wear nothing to cover their breasts in formal wear (instead wearing gloves to cover their hands) Does this ring a bell for you at all?

Hi there and thank you for your message!

I feel like I have stumbled across the post you remember but I don't think it was ever reblogged here on CFW, and I also don't remember who wrote it, I'm very sorry.

Hence here our question to the whole CFW community: Does any of you know what post our Nonny is referring to? And if yes, would you mind either reblogging this with the link, or let us know so we can reblog it?

Your help would be much appreciated!

Some outfits

I’ve always loved the 90′s and early 2000′s feel that the first game had so most of these are just inspired by the concept art

also big dumb emergency sneakers in case you get ambushed at sushi resturants
