Modavia Fashion Week 2011.02

MFW01_020

The Bliss Couture collection is a fabulous mix of separates to mix and match. I said before, it’s a great combination of fashion and funk. There’s lots of exposure in this collection but “Funk not only moves, it can re-move.

The desired effect is what you get
When you improve your Interplanetary Funksmanship.

Modavia Fashion Week 2011.01

MFW01_013

Modavia Fashion Week is up and running and the best design houses in Second Life® are releasing their fall collections and we fashionistas are eagerly awaiting each new release as they come out. I want to highlight the wonderful releases from Bliss Couture this fall. They are a winning combination of high fashion and funk.

You’ve got a real type of thing going down, gettin’ down
There’s a whole lot of rhythm going round

Ow, we want the funk. Give up the funk.
Ow, we need the funk. We gotta have that funk.

My little black dress(es)

A little black dress is one of the essential elements of a woman’s wardrobe. It applies to both our lives, in my humble opinion. So, ladies, first i suggest you to make sure that your RL closet is not missing a lil black dress (amongst the usual skeletons), then go check your SL inventory and if you don’t find anything suitable, don’t panic! I’m here to help you 😀
Well, actually, Poised came to help us all with “The Little Black Dress Project”: five black mini-dresses named after famous places in the world.
So, here we have, in order of appearance: Havana, Ibizza ( i guess it’s a typo 😀), Paris, Tokyo, Berlin:

My little black dress(es)

Cute, sexy, hot. Which one are you gonna pick? 😛

I guess you also noticed the skins in the picture: it’s “Kat”, the new release from Apple May Designs which i’m wearing in different tones. Such a beautiful face, it’s one of the most interesting skins i’ve seen recently.
A close up in the following picture, where i’m wearing the goth tone:

Kat

Those glossy lips are fantastic!

Wanna know about the hair? Another great release from ChiChickie!, a fabulous messy hairstyle called “Irene” and the name says it all 😉

Last but not least, the 7 Deadly Sins nails from Studio Nails, so artistic and well done that you just want to play with the menu to get the textures and features that you prefer.

Fashion Week

In First Life® there are hundreds of Fashion Weeks around the world, though the top four in New York, London, Paris and Milan dominate the fashion world. In Second Life®, there are countless fairs, expos, and fashion weeks, and the most riveting and dynamic is Modavia Fashion Week. Modavia Fashion Week runs concurrently with New York Fashion Week and oddly enough, my avatar was invited to both. Question: when an avatar is invited to a First Life event, can her typist go? Well, it’s not possible for me to go to New York, though I will watch on YouTube® but I can go to Modavia’s Fashion Week and I surely will. If you miss any of the Modavia Fashion Week, you can catch up with photos of the runway shows on their Flickr.

I have attended before and was blown away by the fabulous organization and professionalism that brought runway show after runway show in on time and with minimal fuss. They have 49 shows to produce in just 8 days, but I am confident that they will be on time and as near to flawless as computers, servers and isp’s will allow. I know that the fashion will be fun and exciting as creating a collection for Modavia Fashion Week inspires designers to be adventurous. I have no idea what’s in store, but I know it will be good.

Renewal

Good art looks new because the artist has recombined something old to make something better. (Darby Bannard)

Mami Jewell’s main store, Azul, was closed for for a few weeks in August while she rebuilt her store. Celebrating the reopening of her store with its new look, Mami applied this aphorism quite literally to her work. She has created 45 limited release gowns from her collection in special colors that will be available only during the month of September. This is Dailey, one of the new, limited release color gowns.

I love the gorgeous rosy-mauve coloring in this dress. It’s so lovely against my skin and when overlaid by the yards of black lace, it’s stunning. The asymmetrical bodice is so lovely and elevates the dress to a new level.

Making Your Own Child's AO

Gidge’s SL daughter, Hatchy Mills, made an adorable child’s Animation Override at a very low cost. With the popularity of children’s avatars growing, there is a need for children’s AO that produce the naive, unaffected and innocent movements and stances of children.  While a child at Hogwarts would need something more sedate than this one, there’s nothing to stop you from making your own AO at little cost.
