Wicca’s Wardrobe: The Steampunk Crow

WiccaMerlin_Fashion01_HauteMagazine_November2012_06

“People once believed that when someone dies, a Crow carries their soul to the land of the dead, but sometimes something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the Crow can bring the soul back and put the wrong things right .”

(Sahra – The Crow 1994)

I know that crows are usually black, but as iIwas styling, I wanted to do someting in a brown/nude tone for the HAUTE Magazine (http://hautesl.com/latest-issue/)

The quote out of the movie “The Crow” still was in my mind all the time when I was styling.  I like dark fantasy novels and movies and so many of my stylings have some of those in the back, even if I do not always name them or tell about it.

For this styling I started with the “XXX” dress from LWL. I had it for a longer time but never something came to my mind what I could do with it. With the theme of the minimal colors for the HAUTE Magazine the brown tone matched amazing and I paired the crow theme with some steampunk elements like the boots from Grim Bros and the helmet from Diram. The amazing wings were a gift from Reclaw Inshan, former designer of R.A.D. Together with the leggings from LeeZu and the jewelry from Chop Zuey, the fantasy idea came to live.

News by NV Corsetry & [sys]!

Today it was time to create a crazy art look again and the new “Commedia Del Arte” outfit from NV Corsetry combined with the new “Vogue” ankle boots from [sys] brought me on this style.

The “Commedia Del Arte” outfit is a full outfit that contains one of the incredible corsets of NV Corsetry. The outfit itself can be worn in different ways. You have 2 corsets to choose from, one with black and one with white ribbons. For this post I went with the black version. An alpha layer as well included makes it even easier to wear this amazing corsets, if you do not wanna fiddle around too much with the fitting :p. As well for the skirt you can decide if you wanna have the short mini version that I am wearing for the post ir if you wanna go with a bigger skirt that is open in the front. The wonderful puffy sleeves, the huge collar and the cute hat with the red roses are as well part of the full outfit.

To bring the red of the roses back I decided to go with the new “Vogue” ankle boots from [sys] The red version of this awesome booties has some dangerous looking cool spikes at the heel in the back. The red leather is just amazing detailed and looks very real. The heel is covered with silver metal plates and carry the hot sharp spike that you as well can see more little in the front. The back of the booties is open and just decorated with amazing filigree lines. To make it look perfect, [sys] included part of a barefoot for the back or the feet. You can tint that to match your skin color with a HUD that comes with.

Incredible mystical new outfit at Mea Culpa!!!

Mea Culpa brought news to the fashion world… amazing and incredible news for sure 😉   Tatanka Kaligawa designed again a masterpiece of fashion that has its very own character.

“Oppressive Prophecy” comes as a whole outfit except the shoes. It is fully hold in gold and black and the textures are simply amazing. Golden ornaments on a back background always give a very elegant and glamorous touch.

Also the dress is very sexy and stunning with all the parts that show so much skin and who are framed by amazing golden seams! The lower arms are covered by some kinda armshields. ‘The theme is repeated with the 2 huge prims that are attached to the waist and go up from there.

A total eyecatcher is the headpart with the 2 long piercings that hang down in front and male earrings redundant.

The 2 big fan looking decorations on the left hip and in the back are a wonderful contrast to that long spike looking prims on the right side. The flexible train that goes down on the right side from that big back attachment gives a very aerial feeling as it moves wonderful with every step.

Wicca’s Wardrobe – Gothic Girl for a day :)

Today I was in a very good mood and I remembered my past goth times and I thought about to style myself kinda that just for fun 😉

I took out my LeeZu ” Cat Tighs in black” as a basic for the LeeZu “Zelma Hotpants” also in black. I so love that “hole ” look 😉 As i love the LeeZu “LaGoa” top so  much I took it for the base under the Baiastice “Revolver short jacket” in dark night. As I like the extravagant things what could match this outfit better than the Stiletto Moody “Lucille” ankle boots in black. For the hair I decided to use one of the new Tunkinowaguma hair called “Helena” in black with silver accessories.

The amazing makeup and for sure also the stunning skin was made by Nuuna Skins, and the great 80’s earrings you can find at Tick Tacky 🙂

I hope you had fun with my little “back to my goth times journey”

Stay styled… 😉

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Nocturnal Princess” /purple, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

This amazing and wonderful gown has a light vintage touch combines with a modern design. Based on the early 20th century fashion this creation was made in a modern way. The top is a stunning corset that shows off the very well-shaped waist of every lady. It goes down in a nice body that can be seen in the sweet skirt. The skirt has a very sexy touch. It looks like only connected lightly to the hips but it as a huge cut-out over the lap and the backside. that shows off the lower part of the body and it’s amazing texture very well and adds an awesome sexy look. The great spikes on the left shoulder and the left hand waist side add a perfect modern view.

On the hat you can find this spikes again and also the fantastic ruffles that decorate and make the skirt.

The next outfit carries the great name “Phenix Experience”…

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Phenix Experience”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

This designs lightly reminds me of kinds silk, even if it has a totally other texture and no waving satin parts 😉 but it has a touch of an ethnic style.  The basic makes a lovely designs body that covers the upper body. A purple pattern texture covers the layer parts framed by amazing gold lines. The flexible prim parts are moving amazing with every step or turn. The shoulder parts give a powerful touch and also the great gold mask with its spikes is part of that outfit!

My last outfit for today really caught my heart…even if all Mea Culpa designs do… but this really hit my inner 😉

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Lost in Netherworld”, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

“Lost in Netherworld” is the name of the newest design of Mea Culpa. Totally in white it has a lightly fantasy attire and reminds a bit of a creature out if the Netherworld 😉 If you walk you can see the lovely flexible prims moving behind and round about you and you feel like a ghost that lightly hovers over the ground. Many prim attachments like the neckpart of the belt round the waist give a great edgy opposite to the huge, smoothly waving prim parts at your back. The clothing layers are also made with the love to the detail if you for example look at the top. 2 thin lines hold the top and close at the back of the neck. The chest part is covered by an amazing texture that repeats the aerial lace style of the tha back prim parts. This wonderful creation definitely turns heads and it again shows off Tatanka Kaligawa’s great skills if it comes to ides, creating, designing, style and texturing 🙂
