Deep Space Nine And The Fashion Of The Future
Den of Geek recently posted an entertaining article featuring their appreciation of the latest in Deep Space Nine fashions. Be sure to visit the link below for the full article and some great compilation shots of fashion from the future. We're especially fond of Ferengi fashion. Maybe it's all the bling.
The Star Trek series of TV shows did futuristic technology well enough. If what you needed was a computer display, ship controls or energy weapons, someone had the designs covered. What telly Star Trek wasn't especially remarkable for was its sets. Most outdoor locations on alien worlds looked far too similar to Earth to suspend disbelief. Any cave or rock formation the crew happened to stumble across was unconvincing and a lot of interiors looked plastic-y.
The Deep Space 9 series had those shortcomings as well as an added challenge, taking place as it did on a space station, and not a very attractive one at that. Scenes on the station were limited to a few living quarters, a couple of shops and offices and Quark's bar. It would be easy to grow tired of the confines of the sets and if you wanted a change of scenery you'd have to get the shuttle out of there.
But the drawback of a stagnant station also gave DS9 what is, for our gold-pressed latinum, its greatest design accomplishment - its costumes. (source Den of Geek)
