Kurotsubaki?? Kurotsubaki!!!!
By Grazia Horwitz | November 18, 2007
I am a bad freebie hunter. Sue me. I went to visit the new Fashion Victim head quarters because of the lovely goodies scattered around.. and instead I got lagged up and almost decided to leave again when… I discovered Kurotsubaki. I have no clue whatsoever what that means other than CUTE CLOTHES!
Plaid is one of my fave fabrics so I could not resist the check skirt & pants in brown that I wear in the photo. Yes, it is one set and you get the glitch pants, the skirt prim and the sculpted pant cuffs. The skirt,I decided to pair it with the cutest short coat since the Veschi released the parachuteys. This is the brown one, it also comes in a lovely teal version. The turtleneck sweater is part of the deal. The pants are being worn with the short knit cardigan in blue, which, just like the coat has the frilliest sleeves. Now I should warn you, as most Asian designers, Sato Yifu, the creator of Kurotsubaki, uses a petite avatar to work on. That means that you most likely will have to do quite some adjusting to make the prim attachments fit. If you are not comfortable with that, this just might not be your brand of choice. But otherwise… I love it.
The hair I am wearing is Sharp Edges in brown by Nikki Stenvaag for Milk, the skin is Tête à Pied Vivant Dakota in buff by Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot, the ripped stockings in tan are made by Canimal Zephyr over at Canimal and the biker boots are by the amazing Fallingwater Cellardoor at Shiny Things. The top that I wear under the blue cardigan is the strapped top from Last Call’s Alais outfit that I tinted in a soft burgundy. Finally, the earrings are Turnstyle’s Common Fig Shell Disc earrings by Kingston Augustus.
Seen in world: yes ~ Review Copies: no ~ Friends list: no

Posted by: moire on November 18th, 2007 at 8:50 amI discovered this store a few weeks ago. I believe that the coat is my favorite item in my 30k inventory! It’s my standby for everything. I think I bought everything in the store. I’m anxious to see what this designer does in the future.

Posted by: Whimsy Winx on November 18th, 2007 at 9:29 amKurotsubaki means a type of flower I think variety of, if not the word for Rhododendron.

I attempted Fashion Victim treasure hunt too. Armed with my list of locations (cheating yah!), I lasted about 10 minutes and in that time I crashed 5 times, I did find a cool home item from Decollage though! My friends found loads of fab stuff there…I wish they would extend the hunt.
