The fashion industry is New Harren's most well known economic sector and cultural ephemeron, with clothing produced in Port St. Charles's fashion shops becoming famous worldwide by the mid-2010s. The Port St. Charles fashion scene has quickly become one of the world's most prestigious centers of fashion, with "the PSC look" or "the PSC style" becoming rapidly emulated abroad. Port St. Charles fashion melds [[Occidental]] clothing form factor with colors, styles, and production methods developed among the peoples of [[Cusinaut]] to produce colors and patterns considered highly unusual to Occidental customers. New Harren has become closely associated with fashion in the popular Occidental imagination since the mid-2010s. | The fashion industry is New Harren's most well known economic sector and cultural ephemeron, with clothing produced in Port St. Charles's fashion shops becoming famous worldwide by the mid-2010s.

The first fashion houses and associated clothing manufacturers in New Harren were formed in the 1970s, not with an eye to any particular style but out of economic necessity. Importing clothing from Urcea was relatively expensive while raw materials were readily available within the Rectory for the production of clothes. The earliest local fashion emulated popular Occidental styles. During the 1970s and 80s, indigenous seamstresses would move to Port St. Charles looking for work in this field. While most simply adapted Occidental methods, some of these indigenous women began to introduce their own flare to the work, and by the late 1980s a visibly distinct Port St. Charles style began to emerge. These styles began to reach exposure in the [[Urcea]]n market in the early 2000s. From there, they began to see the attention of [[Sarpedon|Sarpedonic]] high society by the late 2000s. By 2015, "PSC style" was entrenched as a global phenomenon. | The first fashion houses and associated clothing manufacturers in New Harren were formed in the 1970s, not with an eye to any particular style but out of economic necessity.

The relative decline of [[Housatonic]] as a fashion center contributed greatly to both the demand of Port St. Charles-designed fashion as well as the availability of highly skilled Housatoner designers and seamstresses. By 2015, "PSC style" was entrenched as a global phenomenon. | ||
Clothing made in New Harren is subject to export controls due to the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association|Nysdra Sea Treaty]], and accordingly most brands have to export directly to [[Urcea]] before they are available for purchase abroad. Most of the major fashion houses hold a shared ownership interest in a [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]-based brand called "Treasures of the Nysdra", quickly identifiable by its "rising sun" symbol, which functions as the international retailer for most Port St. Charles fashion houses. Many economists believe that the relative scarcity and cost resulting from the export controls have kept Port St. Charles brands relatively hard to come by, maintaining brand novelty and prestige. The export controls also mean that populations of the other [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] nations have ready access to the Port St. Charles style. As a result, many global fashion analysts have consistently referred to the people of [[Quetzenkel]] as "best dressed" every year since [[2021]]. | Clothing made in New Harren is subject to export controls due to the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association|Nysdra Sea Treaty]], and accordingly most brands have to export directly to [[Urcea]] before they are available for purchase abroad.
