If you’re in the New York City area tomorrow, Tuesday, February 27, and want to participate in or just attend a discussion of male fashions in both the real world and the virtual world of Second Life, drop by the A.I.R. Gallery at 511 West 25th Street, Suite 301, in Manhattan, at 5:30pm Eastern time (2:30pm SL Time) for an event being put on by Daria Dorosh, a long-time professor at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology — and also a long-time explorer in virtual worlds. In fact, the organizers could use some help, so if you’re going to be in the area and you have some facility with Second Life, Skype and stuff like that, see below.The event is a discussions of male fashion both in-world and in the real world. Bruce Damer, who’s organizing the event, is hoping to find SL residents who could show up to the gallery as well as those who could show up in-world. Extra points if you have a male avatar who’s a clothes horse.
If you’d like to help with technology side of things, contact Bruce Damer at bdamer -at- digitalspace -dot- com. If you attend, make sure you tell us how it went! Sounds fun.
Interesting evening, although mens virtual fashion especially in Second Life has barely scratched. — In the end it was agreed that mens fashion inworld and out is linear and needs spicing up.
Thank goodness for Last Call’s revolutionary kilt
