In an open-for-all competition held last October 23 until December 5, 2007, Tomb Raider Forums members showcased their vision of future Lara Croft outfits with undeniable talent and artistry. Concluding a two-day voting period, TRF now hosts the winning entries from the month-long competition, with Quasimodo’s convertible kimono entry garnering 23 points putting it in 1st place.
We quote Quasimodo’s description for his winning entry: “The skirt is layers of flowing translucent black chiffon, the boots have removable stilleto heels and are made of ruched black satin. The overcoat is dupioni silk in dark olive green or peacock blue with light olive or black trim, inspired by traditional Japanese kimonos. Under the overcoat is a Tudor-style corset made of black matte silk and chiffon, adorned with a snaffle-bit clasp under the bust. Opaque black tights tuck into the boots and lace up at the hips.”
“Lara could wear this outfit to a winter formal party or even an opera, like in Legend or Chronicles, respectively. The overcoat can be removed so she can hit the dance floor. Should mercenaries arrive, the skirt can be torn off and the stilleto heels retracted The voluminous skirt could be used to hide twin pistols, a katana, or other weapon of choice.”
Be sure to check out all the entries from the voting thread over at Tomb Raider Forums.
