Violator has a new Prêt-à-porter line!

Violator  - Pretaporter Black Gold

Incredible news at Violator! Soraya Vaher created a new line for Violator, a Prêt-à-porter collection. The idea behind that was, to have something that can be worn as part of the everyday wardrobe, for an affordable prize but still with the well known luxury that Violator offers for all their creations.

The new collection is named “Budget Chic – More for Less” and it offers some really amazing designs in different colors, always combined with gold or silver.

For todays post I decided to stay to black and showcase one black & gold and one black & silver look.

The first one you can see above is the amazing “Scherhazade” jumpsuit. The trendy wide pants together with the sexy top that shows a lot of clevage really lets every lady shine. The amazing jumpsuit is a one part mesh design and makes it easy to just put it on and look amazing 😉

To finish the look I added one of the newest releases of Finesmith, the “Diamond” set. I was able to change the textures of all parts with a menu to match the “Schehazade” jumpsiot perfectty and the necklace that goes up on the right shoulder underlined the luxury of the whole styling.

Violator  - Pretaporter Black Gold silver boots

The matching shoes as well are part of the new “Budget Chic” collection. Soraya made them matching to each color and metal variation she created for the new line. Since I decided to go black and just exchange the gold for the silver, I only have the black version of the “Pride” stilettos shown in this post 😉 The spikes make a wonderful edge to the black ankle boots and the silver and gold decorations bring back the metal parts of the style in an awesome way.

The second look is put together of 2 different parts of the new “Budget Chic” collection. The “Candy” skirt and the “Passion” jacket.

The “Passion” jacket is an open mesh jacket ornamented with a wonderful silver texture and at the neck you have an amazing flower part that goes up on the left shoulder. The “Candy” skirt repeats the silver texture and is decorated with an amazing ruffled bow in the front. The two little slits at the upper thighs ad again a very sexy touch.

I only added the “Diamond” earrings of the same set I was wearing before just textured a little different, to match the silver parts of the outfit, fishnet stockings and a tie I found at Redgrave as part of a top.

So do not wait and TP over to the Violator Mainstore and see all the amazing colors and styles of the new “Budget Chic” colletion and enjoy all the new designs without getting broke 😉

Etchaflech & Voluptia featured in the Maniera Magazine

ManieraModels_CorsetFeature_LovelyMiwako7399 Menna_December12_Lineup_v3

For the actual Maniera Magazine December 2012 (http://manierasl.mymaniera.com/) I had the great honor to be featured in a wonderful fashion spread of Lovely Miwako. She made a special corset themed article about how different corsets can look.

We all got sent different corsets from Etchaflesh and Voluptia and Lovely asked us to style them in a vintage non typical lingerie manner. As well she wanted us all to choose one tattoo that we wear through the whole spread.

ManieraModels_CorsetFeature_LovelyMiwako7399 Menna_December12_02

For the first picture Lovely placed me on the floor besides SterlingZen. The corset I was wearing for this picture came from Voluptia and everyone that knows me… I am a corset addicted even in RL, so to style the corset in a non lingerie way for me was like if you tell me I just won in a lottery *grins*

I love a lot the different vontage stylings from the 50’s to the 80’s ( it still scares me that 80’s are called vintage now too^^) and so I was going for my favourite urban look as well with the heavy boots and the tattoos and some fishnet stockings and torned stockings. The huge glasses and the pinup hair added the perfect finish for the look in my view.

ManieraModels_CorsetFeature_LovelyMiwako7399 Menna_December12_05

On this picture, I had the great pleaure to be with Katherine Comet a wonderful and classy Lady that shines at my side with a wonderful corset styling that reminded me a lot on the old racing pinups I saw so many times on that collectable retro/vintage, metal signs from coke or even others… not sure how they are called in english, mostly you find them in bars 🙂

For the second look I was given the corset and the sneaker boots from Etchaflech. I added the neck corset as well from Etchaflesh, pantys and garterbelt from Maitreya.

Lovely did an amazing job in putting different ladies, diffrent looks and attitudes together to show a wide range of what corsets can do… weither of elgant, grunge, rocker, lingerie, vintage or burlesque… as different as we ladies are as different corsets can be used for anykind of styling, that you can think of 🙂

Rfyre – “La Glace”

(RFyre – “La Glace” /white, Model: Wicca Merlin, Photographer: Daron Brandeis)

Not too long ago I got the great opportunity to wear one of the latest releases from RFyre for one of their commercials. Daron Brandeis approached me and told me that he wants me for one of his projects. It seemed kinda urgent as he TPed me to meet the designer. I was very happy as I landed and saw Raven Pennyfeather, owner and designer of RFyre 🙂

(RFyre – “La Glace” /white, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

I was very happy to see her, I adore her creations for such a long time and so it was a great honor to model her newest outfit for a picture. She gave me the full black and white version of the outfit to style and I prepared stylings for all color versions. The white version of “La Glace” has the option of 3 different colors of the bodice. Red, as you can see in the first pic, white as shown above and a purple version that I will show below 😉

(RFyre – “La Glace” /white, Model & Photographer: Wicca Merlin)

As well the “La Glace” outfit can be purchased in black as well with 3 different options for the color of the top. For the black version you have black, white and red to choose from.

For the Jacket you have 2 different possibilities of the neck collar. one more huge (the one I mostly used for the post as I really like it) with shoulder pads and a high collar and a smaller and simple one without the big shoulder pads and not as high around the neck.You do not always have to wear the full outfit. If you wanna skip the jacket you can see the beautiful texture that Raven used for the top it self.

The top has a wonderful deep neckline, which is decorated with an awesome, filigree and silver ornament, as you can see above for the red version. The pants and jacket are not just black either. An amazing texture again shows the perfectionism and the eye and love for the detail, that Raven Pennyfeather puts in her clothing.

My biggest surprise was as I TPed lately to the RFyre Mainstore and saw the 2 pictures made by Daron Brandeis (the first and last of this post) directly at the landing point in a very large size. I really feel happy, grateful and honored that I was given this opportunity 🙂

News from Gabriel – done by Sora Tatham!!!

Lately I was talking to Sora Tatham, an old friend of mine, we were talking about shows of her great agency Agatha as she suddenly came on a show that she will have in december for Gabriel.

In the very moment she mentioned that and I was about telling her I can blog the show if she tells me the details, I got a box from her… I was wondering and then she said “I tried my first fur outfit” and made me sit there with an open mouth :p. I never was aware she did clothing!!! I was knowing she works for agapee poses but clothing design?!?

“Megu Fur Jacket & Leather One-piece Brown set” this amazing design of Sora Tatham is called and you will find it in 2 more colors at the Gabriel Mainstore. The wonderful boots are as well part of the whole design. The fur jacket is made so incredible that you nearly tend to grab the puffy, fluffy parts and they move amazingly!!! The belt is very filigree and has an awesome, cute little belt bag at the backside. Overall this beautiful outfit, anyways if in brown, white or black is a total must have for every fashionistas winter wardrobe!!!
