seeing a lot of lovely haute couture on the dash so i want to lob in my own two cents on muses in relevant fandom:
ada has expensive taste, but does not wear designer clothing into the field. could you even imagine that level of filth on a genuine mcqueen? she'd die of shame. fortunately, she has a hook-up who does counterfeits. the authentic pieces are at home, the mission wardrobe just passes for the real thing.
danae lives and dies in mugler. she saw a gown in the fall 1983 collection and was furious that at 12 she couldn't wear it. a cursory glance at her wardrobe reveals over $100k of the designer's vintage works -- all bought new or tailored to suit our lady spencer. if she's not in something fashionable and expensive, she's naked.
sh*va likes fashion well enough, but it isn't really a priority. i've always slotted her as slightly more of a grown tomboy, certain questionable unlockable outfits aside. perfectly professional and stylish, but not devoted to trends or names. prefers quality over prestige, but won't turn her nose up if she finds a good deal.
chris and billy purchase a gallon of tank tops at costco for 12 dollars and are set for the year. chris maybe hits up an athletic store, but only a markdown outlet, for his silly breathable tops. billy doesn't even make it that far. his jeans are crusty. chris only develops fashion sense as an old man. he's cosplaying his former boss anyway.
marvin was fashionable! he couldn't really go big or go home given his salary/the economy, but he got by. exquisite 90s drip. iconic leather jacket, some sturdy denim. the vibe i get off the city isn't a very cutting edge one, but he did what he could with what was on hand. was not going to pay for a name, though.

team bonding nights at chris' apartment. they're playing mario kart and then once a team member reveals themselves to be a good player, beerio kart. the walls are thin and everyone is buzzed and neighbors are complaining. their old pal marvin keeps answering the call. the third time he comes out marvin just removes temptation, steps in, and unplugs the nintendo. walks out with it tucked under his arm not as a cop, but a friend to those involved, because if he comes back again, it's a citation. come get it tomorrow at the station, if chris is even alive by morning. he promises he'll have the good strong coffee ready in the break room come morning.
