mountainelement.livejournal.comAfter reading about the snaggletooth fashion craze in Japan, I can't help but wonder how this latest challenge can be interpreted by writers:
FASHION
Before I list any ideas, please take a moment to simply think about Detective Conan/Magic Kaito and fashion together to see if any wild ideas pop up. Feel free to share them!
This is probably going to be a hard challenge because the only characters I can think of that MIGHT be fashion-concious are Ai, Sonoko, Yukiko, Chikage, and Vermouth. It doesn't help that Detective Conan has been around for a really long time. I think though that adding a fashion craze into the background of your fic can help make it feel like time is actually passing. It suggests that this is the current fashion, the past fashion is now out of style, and the current fashion will eventually be replaced. You don't have to use an actual fashion either. Make up a new popular slang word, invent a new game that everyone's playing, etc.
A more specific idea is that one of the female characters tries to do something fashionable that is rumored to help get her the guy of her dreams. This can be Ran trying to get Shinichi to come back, Sonoko making an grab for Kaitou Kid/Makoto's attention, or Kazuha attempting to get Heiji to notice her as a girl. Also, Shinichi and Kaito have probably both been taught how the clothes you're wearing affect people's impressions of you. Conan might use knowledge about a fashion craze to solve a case while Kaito might need the same knowledge for a disguise. That's all I can think of right now. Any more ideas?
