Not every clothing maker makes every type of clothing; for example, 'Gutter Pickin's' manufacturers assemble only Grunge Plunge, Street Flash, Wilma City, and U²C Suburbanite wear, while 'Beanie Bopper' will make Grunge Plunge and Street Flash, but wouldn't touch Wilma City or U²C Suburbanite wear with a 10m pole. They
do make Day at the Races, High Society, Night at the Opera, and Monofilament Edge stuff - but even the top-of-the-line stuff there are knock-offs of knock-offs ...
Miranda Priestly: 'This... stuff'? Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select... I don't know... that lumpy blue sweater, for instance because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of ... stuff.
As a consequence, each manufacturer has a different multiplier for each style - generally the more they're a heavy-hitter, the higher their multiplier for a style, though you'll find makers (Cosmo Nut) producing fashions (Street Flash) that may
seem unlikely, but which will pretty much work, considering their multiplier for that fashion style (in this case, x2.0).
Getting something custom-made (Needle'n Threads) has a somewhat random multiplier, depending on what level of contact your tailor or seamstress is, and what you need done, but I do love playing around with top-end ¥16,000 Monofilament Edge outfits that'll hide a slimline heavy pistol and two spare clips without spoiling the line ...
