Second Style Magazine

Saturday was a seriously busy day in the life of this virtual reviewer as I managed to take in three terrific fashion shows featuring a number of great designers. Thank goodness I wore comfy shoes or my virtual dogs would be barking from all the hustle and bustle!

At noon SLT I made my way to the East Meets West Fashion Show at Convention Center (212, 182, 29). This was an outstanding show featuring works by Cherry Tokyo of Cherry Tokyo’s Kimonos and Lux Yao of Amaretto. The show was split into two portions, with Cherry’s kimonos and Eastern inspired outfits featured in the first half and Lux’s more Western casual showing in the second half. Gorgeous designs and textures dominated Cherry’s sections, while the fun funky cool of Lux’s clothes (and her awesome hand picked soundtrack) made the well-attended show a delight.

From there, when teleport worked again, I hopped over to Betria Prime (222, 170, 26) for the Betria Summer Romance Show. Featuring works from 18 different designers, the show I feared would collapse under the weight of so many different outfits by so many people and threaten my chances of hitting the third show of the afternoon, but Seraphine Khorana of Seraphine Model Management kept everyone and everything moving smoothly making the packed show a joy to watch!

There were too many beautiful outfits at this show to count, some of my favorites included Marzipan’s Closet Patty Cocktail Dress, the Casa Del Shai Hamptons Bikini and a gorgeous wedding dress by Niky Ree. In what was truly the best story I heard all day, the male model for the Summer Romance Show was unable to attend due to the sim being full. A friend of Seraphine agreed to fill in and walk the catwalk with not experience. He did fantastic job, including the big wedding party scene at the end!

From Summer Romance I went to Second Convention for the Second Convention at Artificial Isle (177, 207, 22). Fashion Show. Organized by Caliah Lyon, this is the Rolls Royce of fashion shows, with multiple stages that swivel the models around and audience chairs that rotate the entire audience to view the stage in motion. If the other two shows of the day were packed, this show was super packed, with many of the attendees detaching everything, including hair, to keep the lag down. Again, with so many wonderful designers at the Second Convention Show it’s impossible to pick favorites, though I loved the clothes by Euterpe Zagoskin from Zagozkin Haute Couture and the beautiful red gown from Tuli Asturias of Tuli.

Well that was a full day of Fashion, friends. I’m going home to soak my foot pixels and dream of all the gorgeous designs I saw.
