Though independantly controlled, Ares, Novatech, and a host of smaller corporations own interests in and invest in the company. Considered "old school" by the fashion scene, Armante has proven its modern outlook with the design of Crystle - a manufactured golden thread that is polymerized to offer ballistic protection. Armante's designs do not surprise so much as they surpass. Armante screams of old nuyen and power. These lines are either tres chic (the current year's fashions) or fine (previous year's fashions are considered classics.) Dallas Line for Men This line, a strong seller in CAS as well as popular with Aztlan and CalFree executives, is styled in the fashion of the nineteenth-century American Southwest. Executive Suite Line for Men The tuxedo has been updated for the twenty-first century. This line features the high side vents, spit cuffs and double collar favored by Japanese senior executives. The fabric is firm without appearing stiff and provides significant protection. Though designed for men, a number of female executives have started wearing this line in a not-so-subtle power play. London Fog Line Blending the classic styles of England's past with modern trimmings, this line of cloaks and coats is constantly popular with today's jet set. All London Fog items add 50% to the Concealability rating of any item they cover. The Count This knee-length over the shoulder cloak is clasped with sterling silver at the throat. It is popular for its sturdy black wool construction, burgundy sateen lining and invisible layer of Kevlar II. The Chairman An official looking great coat, the Chairman incorporates a nonporous polymer skin that protects against hazardous materials. Reduce by 1 the Power of any chemical against the coat. The Majesty An overcoat richly decorated in ruffles and piping, the Majesty is constructed from fire-resistant and non-conductive materials. Reduce the Power by 1 from fire and electric damage. The Merlin With a deep, voluminous hood, this floor-length cloak is made from the same materials as the Majesty and offers the same advantages. The Merlin lacks the flair of the Majesty, however, and instead incorporates subtle "mystical" emblems and patterns, many of which are commonly employed by British Druids. The Professional A stout and rather plain overcoat, the Professional offers no special design qualities. Many actually prefer its lack of adornments, though its numerous and deep pockets are also popular. Starlight Line This evening gown line enhances the striking cloth-of-gold effect by sprinkling brilliant faux diamonds across the dress in a way that provides considerable impact protection. More traditional in style, these include full-length dresses that offer protection to the shoulders, back and legs. Venetian Line These evening gowns and cocktail dresses bring back a look popular in the Renaissance, when threads of gold were woven into the fabric. Using the patented Crystle weaves, the fabric seems to shimmer and even come alive. Though the gowns come in many styles, almost all have low-cut bodices and are backless. The length of dress varies between very short and floor length. Ancien Line The Ancien designs feature shawls and scarves that offer ballistic protection to the wearers back, neck and shoulders. Treat as a helmet for the purposes of layering armor.
