New Designer: Moire Georgette at Bossa Nova
By Grazia Horwitz | February 23, 2007
[CT adds]: I thought the Vanessa dress was the best item that Moire sent to me. The overall look of the dress is really cute, and the prims have a nice flounce to them. And as Grazia writes about the thong, I noted the same thing last night to my neighbor Pushbutton Skolnick: “It’s a good thing I have on a bare skin — otherwise it’s a for certain Chewbacca moment!” when I tried on that thong. I’m looking forward to seeing what else Moire develops, because I think she has a lot of potential.
Guess you know me by now…. I go crazy when new, talented people enter the SL fashion designing playground. So when I heard that Moire Georgette opened a shop in Dos Corazones sim I dropped all my gardening prim attachements and hurried over.
Moire makes everything from scratch, hand draws her own textures and spends a lot of time on getting it all right. And it shows. The Vanessa dress is a cute navy dress that looks silky and smooth in red. As Crono puts it… “if it weren’t for the collar, I’d look like a schoolteacher”. Well I guess that is because she wore it with some nice glasses, a hair updo and a strand of pearls and looked absolutely adorable. I chose to wear it more casual and find it equally adorable. The Luisa top is based on a top that Moire made for herself in RL years ago and will now for ever exist in SL, even when te RL top is long gone. I think it’s kinda cute to preserve a much loved RL piece of clothing this way. Oh, and did I mention yesterday I felt like bikinis? Moire has them. This leopard bikini comes both in a cup and a halter bra version, with either the bottoms I wear here, or a tiny thong. Let me warn you though… to wear the thong, you definately need a brazilian… it’s sooo low.
The collection at Bossa Nova is still small, but lots more is to be expected. I’d like to draw your attention to a very well done set of black and white, tintable, tops that Moire has on display. Really very well done, and because of the white being tintable, it should be in everyone’s inventory.
Bossa Nova is located in Dos Corazones: (79,122,25)

But seriously, I wasn’t expecting such a positive response from the fashionista community. If my store were a RL one, I’d be totally out of stock by now, lol. I’m so happy people like my stuff:).
