With the Centauri the elements seemed more baroque and rococo that flowed into a Napoleonic style towards the end. I would say that the Centauri cultural look was French based. I like B5 over Star Trek with costume representation of alien race is that though both show a style, B5 had wonderful variations of that style, so that you didn't have clones walking in the background. So that to me it made the story much more believable. De

Someone certainly had a lot of fun developing the style for the Centauri! Lots of Renaissance elements in that. But I frankly think the Narn are the most ambitious. The clothes look like nothing at first glance, but there are many subtle details. I'm not even sure what color they are -- they're all combinations and textures. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
