Never too early to start a thread!

I really like how this year (2017) we had a bit of a cyberpunk theme going. It would be awesome if we got more cyberpunk type items.

One of the cool things about the rave items is that most Masquerade items we have are in the same heavy and dark tones. The rave items were brighter.

I am hoping for some lighter colored and lacier things.

Now you guys mention more cyberpunk stuff... how about these dresses? X X The latter looks more post-apocalyptic than cyberpunk, but I hope it works. :)

Goggles that rest on top of your head in various colors and styles.

Capes, Hoods, and Cloaks with gears, fur, and embroidery.

Special bottles of booze from around the Subeta world.

Poseable limbs holding masks, drinks, handkerchiefs, etc. Left and right styles.

Gear heeled boots/shoes (could be fun to see)

If I can think of more I will return!

The gear-heeled boots and shoes, and the poseable limbs holding things are a nice idea, indeed! :D

Poseable limbs holding various items are a great idea <3 Another thing I never knew I needed!

Let me just express a deep wish: BACKGROUNDS. Give me workshops. Give me ballrooms. Give me backrooms full of cigar smoke and perfume. Give me dark ziaran alleys. Give me AIRSHIPS. omg. (sorry xD)

More backgrounds STRONGLY SECONDED!

I'd love to see some individual tools, either held by the HA or just tc fodder, both heavy-duty stuff like wrenches and hammers but also delicate little ones like needle-nose pliers or watchmaking mallets. Maybe a good time to incorporate some of the gems and geodes mentioned in this thread here? As like, an expansion of the coda caves or something? (IDK, i just really love the ideas in that thread and want to see them implemented )

I'm sure i'll think of more stuff later and i'll come back and edit this then

I cannot find the actual name for these, so you'll have to deal with just a picture: Lee Pace from The Fall's vest. Someone pleased to be telling me the proper name for these.

That's a brilliant idea!

And why not adding bustles like this? And skirts like this?

In general I'd like some items inspired by old school Hong Kong and the Kowloon Walled City. I live in HK now and would love some items that evoke a sense of dingy opium dens or smoky mahjong houses.. haha. I've been looking at some concept art from Ghost in the Shell and some items like that would be awesome.

I'd love to hear more lore about the people in the lower parts of Ziara.

Some pictures for inspiration:

As for more traditionally Masquerade type clothing:

I like that concept art from Westworld. :D

Also, more NEON stuff in general. :D

Last time I saw lacy knotwork like on that vest was on a majorette twirling a baton. Is that supposed to be a cross-gender look?

Do we already have League of Extraordinary Gentlemen type stuff? That might work with the opium den sorta

The westworld stuff looks good.

*MORE LOWER ZIARA LORE, ESPECIALLY SOME NEW NPCS PLEASE? I mean Adriette would probs have some new pals, or even a enemy group of gossip rebels? *As of cyberpunk-equse items, this sounds stupid but listen out..... dancing heelys. Or maybe just plain dancing roller skates or roller blades if wheely shoes do not appeal. They also gotta have LED lights like those new years shop high tops. *for the more traditional higher ziara, i bumped across this beauty the other day and it just SCREAMED masq inspo *I know steam work pets exist, but mechanical steamwork equse wearable animal companions? *More tacky but workable suits, or even cool led light up suits.

Yes! More cyberpunk/technology items! Are...items related to the princess stories and the royal court a good idea? I know balls occurred for the upper class in medieval times. As for the princess stories....Cinderella and Twelve Dancing Princesses anyone?

More belts and sashes are appreciated. Perhaps some wearable vehicles to match the car-themed collars?

They're a bit off-period in terms of the aesthetic, but some decent tricorn hats would always be welcomed. Plus a variety of feathered plumes that could be added to any hat just to up the fancy.

There was also a suggestion from a couple of years ago (which I can't find) about art nouveau headdresses. Nothing came of it, but it would be amazing if it did. Any and all art nouveau stuff would be delightful: backgrounds, borders, outfits, jewellery, wigs, anything!

I would like more Dinos like the my HA has, it's so original and there are so many Dinos to make awesome wears with

I love 's off the shoulder find

Briefly there was dancing in rollerskates thing (Olivian Newton John in Xanadu anyone?). I would be amused to see a lower Ziara version of this

I would be in favour of items that can make the HA look like a steampunk doll.

Last year, I loved learning more about Lower Ziara with its cyberpunk theme, and I hope we see more of it this year too. Personally I'd love to see some fancy computer glasses a la Gunnar Optiks... yellow-tinted, blue-tinted, but light enough to not be full-on goggles. Example glasses!

I hope to see more lore or at least more appearances of masquerade NPCs this year. I think Mr. B (can't remember how to spell him right now) was the only one I got to really interact with last year at all. Not saying we have to have interaction with them, but just more items about the NPCs would be cool. Since last year was my first masquerade, I really don't know who the masquerade npcs are at all and I'd love a chance to get to know them more.

Oh my, people on here have such cool ideas! Cyberpunk yes! And lace and embroidery, also yes!

Strongly second everything mentioned. Especially poseable limbs and/or limbs holding drinks, masks,...

And second and third (and fourth) the BACKGROUND idea! Yes please, pretty please?

Oh, and art nouveau. Like said. So much love for anything that would go with the August 2014 collection.
