hi lali!
i feel like the usage of the present perfect in the “have you seen” might be implying that i keep up with fashion/fashion shows, and that’s thinking too highly of me 😂 that is to say, no i hadn’t, but i looked this collection up and looked at the post you linked and it looks pretty cool! thank you for messaging me and sharing it with me!
i like the light green layered sleeves (links for any of my followers who are reading this) and would totally draw essek wearing those as part of some of his fancier outfits; they’re structured but not exceedingly sharp, and i like a certain degree of organic-looking shapes for my dynasty fashion 🤔 matt said dynasty austere and geometric but i took that one chitinous armor comment to heart and ever since then kryn dynasty drow have been bug and mushroom and bone people to me. but like, victorian. i have a vision okay
anyway, the wavy petal collars are awesome too, as well as the duochrome teal plissé fabric, that fabric specifically screams essek to me. and ear cuffs/ear ornaments are always splendid, i’ve actually never thought of giving essek just one ear cuff in my drawings before (i’ve always drawn him with a pair on) and i shall dip my toes into that puddle now
(also, i’ve seen a few people call my essek zmeessek before and it’s so cute 🥺 and kinda flattering too. i wish my once school bullies knew that folks have come up with an entire name for my specific interpretation of somebody else’s oc. that’s what success looks like fellas)
