Style and fashion

An old-fashioned world
Despite having developed well-working electricity systems and formidable technology, that are accessible to most inhabitants, barely a quarter of the world's population actually use them. Most people are content with the way they live and find ways to amuse themselves without mechanics such as television for example.

The one "improvement" that has been made in almost all households, however, is in the cooking and sanitary areas. One does not often cook over fire-powered stoves, there are fridges and freezers to store provision in, and both sewerage and water conduits are perfectly unscathed. Within shops and restaurants, for example, the modern modifications are more common to keep everything fresh.

Phones are common pieces of equipment, movies are being made for the cinemas and vehicles, though looking like they are newly invented, run on improved fuel and contain safety appliances so the increased speed will not cause unnecessary fatalities. Basically, everyone has the option to choose which amount of technology their life will contain.

Fashion
As with technology, the different types of fashion varies greatly even between people on the same street. There are suits and tailcoats next to sweaters and jeans, big puffy dresses next to the little black one, and there are different brands and creators for different types. Even though all different styles of fashion are well-spread, a person is often seen as more of a serious and professional one if they belong to the old-styled group. It is a partially very surface-based culture.
