Liafor, along with Yezier, are known as the origin of fashion on Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|49}} They produce fashion folios that are read even on the opposite side of Roshar at the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa2|49}} Each folio page shows a few alternate styles of outfit for one particular demographic, such as [[Azish]] male civil servants.{{file ref|Azish Public Servant Designs.jpeg|Azish Public Servant Designs Folio Page}} The popularity of these fashion folios comes from an ability to use local models and market towards local fashion trends. Folios marketed towards the [[Alethi]] and [[Veden]] market use Alethi models and show traditional styles such as the [[Vorin]] [[havah]] rather than the more daring styles popular in the west.{{file ref|Contemporary Male Fashion.jpg|Contemporary Male Fashion Folio Page}}{{file ref|Vorin Havah.jpg|Vorin Havah Folio Page}} Similarly, the styles shown in [[Thaylenah]] take inspiration from the style of [[Queen Fen]].{{file ref|Contemporary Thaylen Female Fashion.jpg|Contemporary Thaylen Female Fashion Folio Page}} The folios sent to the Shattered Plains intentionally had out-of-date styles in order to sell military uniforms to the soldiers, which [[Adolin]] was appalled to learn.{{book ref|sa3|69}}
 
Fine Liaforan boots are an indication to [[Hauka]] in Tashikk that a man is not a poor farmer as he claims.{{book ref|Edgedancer|3}} Other products to come out of Liafor include Liaforan handicrafts, discussed by Tashikki women,{{book ref|sa2.5|4}} and a Liaforan word puzzle, done by [[Rysn]] in [[Thaylen City]].{{book ref|sa3|i|13}}
