Mayden Ushimawa for “Claim the Fame”: Week 7 – Urban & Streetwear

by

For the 7th week of Claim the Fame the designers had to create a Urban or Steetwear attire for male and female and make a description that was read during the TV show on Metaverse TV. (http://metaversetv.com/blog/2011/05/claim-the-fame-7/)

All designs are available at the KULT District (for slurl please click here)

Mayden Ushimawa: ” To this theme I took inspiration from hip-hop and RNB,  as you can see the woman’s dress looks like a typical RNB singer . enhanced by the golden necklace and earrings, leather jacket, sweatshirt strictly with the hood over the head and baggy pants. The sunglasses add a touch of aggressivity.

For the man I thought about the street boys with skateboards in hand and unmissable iPod attached to the belt.”

Bubble Cyberstar: “PYXIS a woman prepared for an uncertain future …. outfit in shades of iridescent galactic black and blue, with transparencies that hint at but do not teach too much, too bright futuristic fabrics, wearing a helmet with glasses and big hair in a bun, the pants with spiked sculpt like the flashy boots .

CYGNUS as Pyxis is prepared for any event in the future … This whole suit is a monkey too close to the body, short sleeves and gloves attached to the suit, hips sculpt with bright buttons and the head protected by a helmet with glasses, belt, collar and boots.”

Meiling – RL Designs are brought to SL!!!

by

Lately I had the great honor to be invited to the press conference of the introduction of Meiling to Second Life. It was very exciting to hear a really great RL designer talk about making her way into SL. Her words really catched my soul and everyone that was taking part got one or her amazing outfits packed in a little gift box that were laying on the chair. In my little box was a wonderful gown called “Midnight at Maracas” An amazing black summer gown, perfect for the actual season. At the press conference we saw pics of the RL designs that were made for SL and I have to admit Meiling did an amazing job to bring her creations to SL, very detailed and realistic.

Meiling is the premier RL designer of the Caribbean. She is renowned for her work in fine linens
and natural fabrics.  Her style is minimalist but with close attention to the detailing of every piece,whether beading, embroidery, or a razor-sharp pleat.
Although each item produced is unique–a black dress or a crisp white shirt, a bespoke wedding dress or a men’s linen jacket—the end result is always a sophisticated garment marked by superior workmanship.
The list of local, regional and international celebrities who wear her clothes include celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck and Miss Universe 1998 Wendy Fitzwilliam.

Meiling: ” I am very excited to have a presence in SL and to bring my designs in here for the residents. I am fascinated by this incredible platform of creativity and community and  totally ‘get it’ why people love being here. We have worked hard to translate my designs to the SL standards and to make sure that it looks as good or even better than the real thing”
