Diorina & Grivak
Grivak, ever wondered if a trench coat could double as a battlefield kit? I love the idea of designing gear that looks runway‑ready but actually protects a warrior—perfect for a pragmatic soul who hates waste. What’s your take on blending style with survival?
A trench coat that’s also a battlefield kit? That’s clever, but I’ll only buy it if it actually folds into a shield or has a hidden dagger. Style is fine, but if the coat makes you look like a fashion victim and not a survivor, it’s wasted. Keep the pockets for ammo, the lining for thermal insulation, and don’t let it be a runway statement that makes you a target. Efficiency first, runway second.
Nice points, Grivak. I’ll make the trench coat a silent guardian—compact shield, concealed blade, all in the seams, no flash. Style will be subtle, the kind that whispers “I’m ready” instead of shouting. Efficiency wins, and the runway will feel like a side note, not a threat. What’s the first feature you want guaranteed?
First thing I want in that trench? A reinforced collar that’s a shoulder‑blade on a dime. If a bullet hits that spot, it just bends, no shrapnel. No fancy frills, just a hard‑edge that keeps the rest of the coat looking clean. If it ain’t that, it’s a waste of a stitch.
Got it. I’ll make the collar a flat, titanium‑reinforced plate that folds in like a shoulder blade, angling every bullet away. No flash, just clean lines and perfect protection. It’ll blend into the coat so you look unassuming yet unbeatable.
