Heavy Artilleri
By Grazia Horwitz | January 13, 2007
A couple of weeks ago I ran into Artilleri’s Antonia Marat and she told me that she was planning on getting a bigger place for her shop. I think Antonia is a wonderfully crazy designer, who has totally a style of her own that puts a definite signature to all her clothes, so I was quite curious to see this place and asked Antonia whether she would let me know when she moved.
The other day I received notice from Antonia that the new place was up and running and that she had decided to make no fuzz of the opening….. The clothes and the accesoiries, the hair and the tatoos… everything has been put on display and it looks gooooood. Basically the shop is more of the same trusted old place, but MUCH more… A 50’s diner with a black and white checkered floor… Very Grease, very Rock ‘n Roll. It’s just bigger so there is more room for the designs and you get a less cramped feeling. Right at the entrance Antonia has her releases on display, and although I’m not such a rock chick, I could not resist the Katzzen outfit, with it’s feline texture and pink petticoat. Just for the fun of it, I matched it up with the awesome Jamie short hairdo and for the first time in my life, both SL and RL, i’m wearing a tattoooo… old school.
The surroundings are fun, there is a nice terrace, a gas station, vintage cars (that wil catapult you when you try to sit on the hood for a picture LOL), a beach, Antonia’s home and ooooh… a little playground with a swing, a picknick table and a twister game laid out…. if only that would work…I’d be playing all day :-). Did I mention that it’s at 702ft up in the air?
I hope this new place will inspire Antonia to give us, fashionable residents, more of her unique and funny designs. Visit Artilleri in: Axel (200, 190, 702)

[...] I know, I know, there has been much written about artilleri and Antonia Marat’s new main shop in Axel. There’s a great write up over at Second Style, but I just had to say: wherever artilleri happens to be, funky little sims follow. I discovered artilleri at Pollyesther’s, a very cool retro sim alas no longer in existence. [...]
