Truth

What an amazing jewelry set by yula Finesmith.
It’s called Truth.

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” or so they say.
It dpends on our personality, I guess. I’m the type of girl that likes strong fashion statements; this jewelry set is not for the weak of heart; it’s strong, powerful, dark as a hot starry night. Now that summer is coming our way, this is Truth.

Enjoy!

. strong spring/summer .

It’s an amazing season, this year.
Spring/Summer 2013 is full of strong personal styles.
Wether we chose to wear pastels and be sweet or we chose to mix that sweetness with strong details, like a bold eye makeup.

Cosmetic Fair 2013 is going on right now and it is definitely a must see.
Zibska presents several eyeshadows for Cosmetic Fair 2013. Some are so springy that are just part of your day-to-day makeup ; others are really bold personal statements.

Dare to mix’n match! This season anythig goes!
Just be yourself and dare.

Zibska

With a tender pinkish corset by Zibska and a jewelry set by FINESMITH, you just create THE look.

. a secret union .

“Once there was a secret union
A serpent and a dove
Enchanted by their beauty
They found the perfect love

Altough the garden was lost for them
They sought a purity
They’re shown by the sunlight
A gate into the sea
A home there to be”

AVENUE Fashion Week 2013 – HAUTE . Sneak peek. Elysium

A Fashion Week is, by definition, a number of days showcasing designers that fashionistas don’t want to miss.

We all know that in RL, fashion shows are much faster than in SL. A complete designer’s showcase takes from 12 to 20 minutes max.

We are extremely proud at AVENUE for also doing this in SL. Our designer’s showcases are quite fast, considering SL limitations. Each showcase lasts from 25 to 45 minutes max.
Again, AVENUE is writing a new chapter in SL Fashion’s history, by doing this Fashion Week as close to RL as possible.

The last showcase of the week will feature several SL haute couture designers.
One of these brands is Elysium.

We all know Aleida Rhode and the work she has been creating for years. And we do know Luca Boucher, as well.
This dynamic duo released Elysium: a haute couture brand for men and women – including skins, hair and accessories.

They both clearly state that Elysium creates their own mesh in Blender or combining Blender with other 3D software – which means, completely original work, created from the very start by Aleida and Luca. A must see, of course!

This is Elysium Miss Dufaux Couture dress – nails included – and Fei (light) limited skin.

I’m sure you don’t want to miss the last show of AVENUE Fashion Week 2013, next saturday, April 6th @ 2PM SLT.

Here is the Music Player. You need to installl flash player to show this cool thing!

AVENUE Fashion Week 2013 – Ariskea .sneak peek.

Some designers we are familiar with.
Others are bringing their art to SL recently and AVENUE Fashion Week will showcase Ariskea.

I’m absolutely curious to see Ariskea’s creations!
Diaxm says in her SL profile “My specialization is my path to create and make a different world visual for every person that loves art.

This collection has been inspired by pastel fashion, which is the trends of the years 2013 2014. It has also been designed exclusively for AVENUE Fashion Show . I hope you will enjoy the products as much as i draw them.”

This is Ariskea Fleurie Sage mesh gown.
A must see! Another showcase not to miss.
Tuesday, April 2nd @ 11AM SLT.

AVENUE Fashion Week 2013 – *SoliDea FoliEs* .sneak peek.

Mila Tatham is a provocative designer. In all the best meanings of the word “provocative”.
I remember her store when she started creating in SL. A little store with amazing acessories, true art pieces.

I usualy define success not as fifteen minutes of fame, but a steady and long career, always improving. This pretty much defines *SoliDea FoliEs*. Fashion – especially high end fashion – must be unexpected, something that will make us stop in awe.

Of course Mila Tatham’s brand had to be showcased at AVENUE Fashion Week!
Saturday, April 6th@ 1PM SLT.

From her Spring/Summer Collection, here is Venere dress, with an amazing Soleil/Crown.

AVENUE Fashion Week 2013 – Zibska .sneak peek.

Here is just asneak peek of Spring/Summer Collection of one of the designers I’ve been following for quite some time.

Zib Scaggs created her brand Zibska and I love how I never know what to expect; what will she create next? Zib talks about her creations as if she’s talking about art. And she is!

“With this collection I have done something which I usually avoid and that is casual wear. It is a challenge for me to keep things toned down (everything needs ruffles! spikes! feathers! or all of the above!). In the end, what I have managed to put together in the collection are designs that Zib would wear when she does not care about poking others in the eye and some tamed down ones, for when she does.”

And here is one of the designs you can see from Zibska during AVENUE Fashion Week.
A challenge for her – to create casual wear – in this case a short cocktail dress with hat included. The eyeshadow and cuff I’m wearing are also from Zibska and already available at her mainstore.
This is Claudie dress.
You surely want to see the rest of Zibska creations during her showcase on April 6th at 12 noon SLT.
