Costume creator/tailor character?

[biostem]

So one of the things I most enjoy about CoH is creating costumes.  With that in mind, what kind of character would best embody that as their "profession"?  I was thinking maybe something with illusion powers, but I'm open to any ideas.  Thanks in advance!

i would look to the people at Facemaker redside, or Icon Blue.  what is the gold equivalent?  this for backstory and costume ideas.

 

then, yes, illusion sounds great.  but, especially redside, there are a lot of possibilities.  need to harvest materials sometimes!   and deal with unruly customers.

Well, I could come up with an explanation for pretty much any AT or powerset, but I was more interested in what would fit in an in-universe sort of way - like maybe plant control or nature affinity as a way of creating the raw materials, or perhaps necromancy as a less tasteful way of "harvesting" materials... that sort of thing.

Shameless bump, but here's what I came up with:  Illusion/Arsenal Dominator "Beauty Shots":

As long as it has this face.. you should be good.

Super Strength Brute. Every punch rearranges someones looks. Facemaker, indeed.

recolour the water blast powerset to represent your ability to dye different fabrics in situ. You could use "Weaver" or "Dyer" or "Tanner" in your name

 

Maybe Nature Affinity to give a "weaving" effect

 

Teleport because "as if by magic, the shop keeper appeared" - which may not mean lots to our American cousins but to all British players of a certain age will resonate.
