As someone holding a Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion I just wanted to share how extremely weird I consider to be the fact that Garak spent SEVEN SEASONS without going on and on and on about things like pattern making challenges, the tailoring quality of the clothes of random passersby, the sheer boldness of the mix of colours worn by every Ferengi or about how different Earth clothing designs and habits seems from Cardassian ones. Like. I get this is a spy. I get he had no option but to take a civilian job. I GET IT. But as much as I hate fashion nowadays, it’s physically impossible for to me to stop noticing and commenting on these kind of things. All this to say I would absolutely LOVE to see Garak and Bashir discussing fashion over lunch EXCUSE ME
I think maybe he tried with Julian a few times but Julian had absolutely nothing to say. Like, not even bad opinions. Just no interest. So Garak had to find another fashion friend.
Maybe Quark? Or the Bajoran woman he tries to hook Odo up with?
