Is it realistically possible to have a feudal-style monarchy in close proximity to a fascist state and a communist state, and for everyone to have completely different styles of dress?

Probably not. The fashion of one place influences another, and the technology to make clothing of one time period guarantees another place will have that same technology, leading to similar clothes.

It's unlikely feudalism would survive the processes of modernity that gave rise to communism and fascism, friendo. Absolute or constitutional monarchies are a different matter, though.

Yes.

See the USSR, Nazi Germany, and the Ottoman Empire.

However, your feudalism is probably on the way out due to global pressures of modernity and general upheaval. Which makes for a pretty good plot device.

The latter two depend on a highly centralized and powerful state, while the former relies on a highly decentralized and weak state where feudal lords are (highly independent) stand-ins for the king's authority. If these three existed at the same time in roughly the same area, that feudal monarchy would be incredibly easy pickings.

You posted a picture of Louis XIV, so an absolutist monarchy where the king is literally the state would be possible*.
>And for everyone to have completely different styles of dress?
When we're talking about military uniforms, nah. People usually copy whatever the most advanced nation is doing, with very little aesthetic uniformity (even in the age of musket warfare, the varying bright colors only served to distinguish friend from foe). As for non-combatant dress, that's all culture (and access to local resources/dyes) so they can vary as much as you want.

Feudalism might work in a modern context if you structure it like a very culturally codified federalism. Lords control pieces of land, acting like miniature monarchs on a local scale, and pay fealty to a king, who would act like the federal level of government.

One thing that would be hard is that feudalism requires a culture where people don't seek to break their given roles in society and it doesn't supply a good answer for how modern businesses can exist in a society like that. Perhaps businessmen are given effective lordship and batches of serfs can be bonded to work for the company? It would be like a pre-modern Shadowrun. The church would have to remain as a powerful third leg of the social stool that resists change, provides an outlet for sciences at the art, and checks the government's power.

Feudalism and Corporatism can be pretty much the same thing if you adjust trappings.

CEO Monopoly Holder of LandCorp that produces oil and has a PMC of the western province really isn't different than a Duke. Who has vassal lords, who do things like mine minerals or run hospitals.
