Fashion

• Small burlap bags were a fashion rage in January, 2058, and Georgie Castle had one in Naked in Death.^[1]
• According to Glory in Death, in Rome, Italy in May, 2058, “sweeping robes were in this season, apparently. Clingy, sheer, voluminous, in colors from the palest white to the deepest bronze. Jeweled belts hung from waists, coordinating with crusted gems on flat-soled shoes and little jeweled bags carried by men and women alike.”^[2]
• The flowing robes currently hot from Europe (in June, 2058) were much in evidence, with arty sandals, headdresses, and shiny ropes swinging from earlobes to shoulder blades.^[3]
• In December, 2058, the Big Apple Sky Mall had a teenage boy decked out in the latest fashion trend of black unisuit and neon checked overshirt doing circles and flips on his new Flyer 6000 airskate - this year’s hot ticket item in Holiday in Death.^[4]
• At opening night at the New Globe Theater in Witness in Death, some people were decked out in the casual wear of airboots and oversized, retro flak jackets that were all the rage the winter of 2058-2059.^[5]
• Betrayal in Death opens by stating that neon-colored T-shirts were the season’s rage in spring 2059 and glide-carts sold fizzy drinks in those same violent hues.^[6]
• In Divided in Death (September, 2059), fake python handbags were all the rage that season: “Eve watched two women shell out seventy dollars each for snake bags complete with fangs for fasteners.”^[7]
• Three-inch, gel-soled boots were the current trend in Strangers in Death (March, 2060).^[8]
• In Salvation in Death (May, 2060), “shoes this summer would apparently be clear to show off pedicured feet” and butt enhancers were in.^[9]
• In Celebrity in Death (October, 2060), “Packs of kids shuffled down the sidewalk, heading for school, some of them herded by parents or nannies. Their chatter piped through the air as most headed along the sidewalks in what [Eve] assumed was the latest kid fashion of mid-calf boots with soles thick as a slab of wood.”^[10]
• In Passions in Death (August, 2061), “fashionable feet apparently meant sandals -- platforms, heeled, flats. Or open-toed shoes. Open-toed boots, which made virtually no sense whatsoever to [Eve’s] mind. a lot of candy colors, or more inexplicably to her, the clear ones that exposed your entire foot.”^[11]
