Busy Fashion Day
By Justine Babii | July 14, 2007
I hit the m
aster jeweler show this morning at Venus Nights Club and was quite impressed by a number of the works by the graduates. I was a little bummed that it wasn’t an actual show, it was more of a meet and greet for people to meet the new jewelers and peruse their creations. The collection is definitely worth a looksee, and there was a giant box of freebies that will hopefully be there a while.
In all, I found too many things for one poor blogger to write about in any detail, so I’ll give a shoutout to a few you might want to keep an eye on. All the grads are obviously new to the jewelry biz but it should certainly be fun to watch them develop as designers.
In particular I liked the works of Kyrinnia Desmoulins, whose work will be on sale through Kalon. There are many cute things there by Shenandoah Saintlouis (pictured above wearing her cool silver hoops and the necklace from her London Collection) who will be selling her stuff at Absolutely Fabulous (Syrus 32, 251, 22). I also liked Jordan Morgenrote of Jordan*s in Shephard. Her Amethyst and Pearl Necklace is to the left to the left (sing it with me). Bella Ahn of LusaBella Jewels in Lugubris made a number of great things as well. I was particularly taken by a big and versatile set of Native American themed turquoise jewelry called Lua.
From there I jumped to the Mirage Silks Show in Dublin, but a sim restart pushed that back a bit so I hopped over to see a show of limited edition gowns by artist Josina Burgess. After the show, the gowns went on sale, and when Josina says limited, she means limited. Ten copies of each gown were to be sold for L$ 5000 each. Should they not sell out after the show, interested Fashionistas can make an appointment to visit her in her studio. I liked a couple of the gowns a lot, such as Alaska, shown left.
I went back to the Dublin sim and caught the end of the Mirage silks show. Solange Cerveau of Solange had a couple of designs that were truly breathtaking, and new artist ally Chevalier, whose butterfly themed silks closed the show, made good use of the colors and textures of nature to make silks something fun, light and beautiful. If you’re a fan of butterflies or of silks you have to see her shop, House of Chevalier, in Catalpa. Her Blue Morpho Butterfly Silks are shown left. The silks show repeats, and will be shown again tomorrow at noon!
Finally I ended the day at the Simone! sim for her Summer Sizzle show and it was fantastic. It got off to a bit of a late start, which I’m sure was frustrating to some but a welcome relief to me who has many many notes to go over from a full day at fashion shows. The Simone! summer collection is a lot of fun. Nice tops and cool jeans that are simple, casual and inexpensive.
To the left you can see the Black Jacket Set paired with Goddess Jeans, one of my favorites from the show and representative of the look of the Sizzling Summer Casuals Fashion Show.
So many clothes, so little time!
