Kes Fashion Project | Hairstyles
The pixie cut had its pop culture debut in Roman Holiday: A film about a rebellious runaway princess. On Kes it clearly supports the Tinker Bell comparison and makes her look spritely while showing off her ears: The wigs varied, starting out more poufy and layered as in the first cap (the pilot) and evolving …
Kes Fashion Project | Persephone
These are the best example of Kes’s pixie-fashion. While the looks are arguably discrete, the silhouettes, color palettes, texture, and lines are the same. The lighter one appears in only three episodes (“Caretaker”, “Parallax”, and “Before and After”), and they could all be considered one appearance – Parallax is a continuation of the pilot and …
Kes Fashion Project | Nurse
This look makes 18 appearances across seasons 2, 3, and 6, more than any other outfit. It consists of three layers: the pink tunic over the purple dress over the dark pink undershirt and leggings/tights. Although the fabrics of both the underdress and tunic fluctuate, the basic idea of the outfit is the same. The …
Kes Fashion Project | Pan
This outfit is the most drab of any Kes wears in color, shape, and textile – but it is firmly within her ‘Tinker Bell’ aesthetic and incredibly interesting in context. “Cold Fire”, “Warlord”, “Before and After”, and “Fury” are significant episodes within Kes’s arc on the series and all deal with ‘what if’ scenarios. It’s especially …
Kes Fashion Project | Sunlight
The orange and red is notably more colorful than anything we see other Ocampa wear and compliments the dialogue that expresses Kes’s culturally controversial personality: TOSCAT: You defied the Caretaker by going to the surface, Kes. Learn from the experience. Follow the path he has set for us. KES: I’ve learned very well, Toscat. I …
Kes Fashion Project | Purple and Peach
This purple outfit is much more structured than any of her others, and is a solid color which I think of as “less Kes”. But I do like how it references the Starfleet uniforms of the crew from within her aesthetic. I love the cut outs here, but the colors read a little dusty, like …
Kes Fashion Project | The K(a)esthetic
With few exceptions Kes wears layered minidresses over tights. I love it. Kes is probably the Trek character whose fashion choices most closely resemble my own personal ‘character design’ (Kira’s casual outfits are the only others in the running and they are also made up of layers in different textiles). Kes resembles Tinker Bell: I …
Kes Fashion Project | Turquoise
How Deanna Troi can Kes be? So Deanna. Same color (Starfleet Medical Blue). Same cut: I mean, seriously, that asymmetric collar is so very Kes and so very Teal!Deanna at once that a tiny part of me thinks they built asymmetry into Kes’s aesthetic to reference Deanna from the beginning. It’s worn over matchy tights …
Kes Fashion Project | Jumpsuit
These two outfits are the closest Kes gets to a uniform in design. The blue especially shares traits with clothes worn by both Deanna Troi and T’Pol, clothes that are specifically not Starfleet issue but are nonetheless uniforms of a type. In contrast, these two looks fall outside what Kes normally wears. The blue jumpsuit has …
