I like your thoughts! The Calormen culture and "look" was certainly well-defined by Lewis, so hopefully that will be fun to see in film.

And actually, we've already seen two people who are probably Calormen traders at the Narrowhaven set (Gumpas did say they sell slaves to Calormen, mostly).

Here's one, and here's the other. Other men in the same set of pictures wear turbans, but their costumes are totally different, and Telmarine-influenced, so those are probably Lone Islanders.

I really like the colors in those outfits, especially the last one. Check out those striped trousers, too!

i love those! (minus the sunglasses, of course)

i have somw designs for aravis i'd love to post. umm... anyone know how? still getting used to the new format...

I like the idea of Middle Eastern influence, but I also imagine some Indian influence as well (with bright colors and such), especially among the wealthier people.
