ホテル Hotel – fashion Vol. I: high end: !EXPENSIVE® boots and “Victorian Expectations”

At times, in bohemian communities, individualism may be expressed in eccentric clothing (not always though.) But some of the people at the hotel certainly use clothes as a way to communicate mood and ideas.
(There are, of course, other well-known fashion brands that concentrate on fashion to begin with (seemingly more important than life itself), and in that: on luxury and status symbols; that may be very popular and commercially successful, but our heroes from the hotel are interested in searching for the-inner-self-turned-inside-out and: character.

There are several boutiques and resources nearby the hotel, where the friends get their garbs, a favourite one is “VICTORIAN EXPECTATIONS” for re-vamping your jacket, or if you can afford: getting a brand-new one, and with those all the glam necessary to shine and Starfish for a very brief period in time owned some black !EXPENSIVE® boots with red laces, but as we know, that period is now over;
otherwise it’s second-hand hoodies, sweaters, T-shirts and tennis shoes from famous charity fashion houses, and the mix between the two categories is about 50/50.

Here you can see a few samples (this post is concentrating on the expensive robes and laces), which are also featured in the special category ホテル Hotel – fashion, and are being added to on an ongoing basis:
