Sometimes in Second Life great fashion walks right into your viewer. That happened to me the other night when I was one of the horde descending on the brand new Maitreya Island build. I spotted Malt designer Khea Karas walking in her brand new Roxy outfit. It was all done up in hot pink (I’m wearing it in blue below) so it caught my attention immediately.
Khea is fairly new to designing in Second Life, but has been a professional graphic artist in her real life for a while. The skill she brings to her Second Life clothing shows the attention to detail and the facilities with digital editing software that you’d expect from a professional designer. I was thrilled to show contributor Lux Yao (formerly of [Amaretto]) designs from Malt because they seemed to share a common design aesthetic. (I also find Malt reminiscent of Kat Palmer’s Immortelle design style too.)
I was delighted to try on several Malt designs and although the shop is pretty recent, there’s a good range of outfits from swimwear to denim to dresses, even a smattering of accessories. You can see most of the releases so far by visiting Malt’s blog or Flickr stream.
