MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss South Korea 2012 by PurpleMoon

by

PurpleMoon made not just of the gowns, that made it into the Top 12 of this years Miss Virtual World Challenge finalists. The national gown of Miss South Korea, Caoimhe Lionheard was another one :). This amazing “Sa-rang” gown has a very filigree and delicate texture that is perfectly brought on that amazing sculpted skirt. The trees are a typical asian ornament that we all know from a lot of asian pictures, asia porcelain and as well room dividers and other furniture. The color underlines the asia theme in a wonderful way. The huge black ribbon reminds me of the big ribbons I saw a lot of times at the back of kimonos as well, but it also adds a wonderful modern touch. The tassel that goes down from that ribbon again shows the amazing eye for the detail Poulet Koenkamp has if it comes to ideas and design. If you take a look at the amazing hair, it was as well made by PurpleMoon and is part of that gorgeous gown. The hair is a firework of prims and textures and a piece of art itself. The mixture of hair, jewelry and ornaments just gives an imagination how long Poulet must have sat on this awesome ensemble, which now is available at the PurpleMoon Mainstore.

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss South Korea 2012 by Angel Dessous

by

The wonderful evening gown for Miss South Korea 2012 was made by Angel Dessous. “Seoul” is an awesome gown, that stands out in prim work and design. Nando Korobase tailored this awesome dress for Miss Caoimhe Lionheart for this years MVW challenge. The skirt itself is a masterpiece with the long train in the back and the short front. The ruffles and folds are made with such a love for the detail that you only can imagine how long Nando must have sit there and created them. His great skills for the texturing you can see as well if you look more and more up to the bodice. First the waistpart comes in the same basic texture as the skirt and the cleavage and shoulders are covered by delicate, filigree lace. This awesome lace you can find for the leggins as well, and they are wonderful shown because of the high front of the skirt. The chest part is not just a basic black part it looks like 2 overlapping parts – again the prove for Nando’s love for the detail. The little collar carries 2 wonderful ornaments that match the necklace and the belly jewelry part. Together with the fingerless gloves the whole attire is very sophisticated and classy with a fresh and modern touch. If you take a closer look you can see the little jewelry parts at the belly and the necklace. Both are part of the stunning “Seoul” dress as well, so you only have to add a pair of earrings – in my case the white version of the “Hermosa Espina” from Finesmith. The incredible headpiece as well is made by Angel Dessous. No wonder that this incredible beautiful gown made the Top 12 for the MVW 2012 challenge!!!

Vanguard – Rising star on the fashion heaven?

by

Lately I got approached by a new designer I never heard before. Her name is Rollyn Humphrey and the brand she owns and designs for is called Vanguard. I unpacked the outfits and I have to say a few of them really caught my attention, so I would like to show you 3 if them for now. The fist one you can see above is called “Freak” and somehow it fits its name 😉 The dress itself is wonderful sculpted and the texture is superb. I only added the new Finesmith “Fabrege” brooch. The rest is all part of the outfit including the hood that hides the head, what made it kinda interesting for me 😉 To make sure, that no body parts stick out Rollyn added 2 alpha layers.

The second gown carries the name “Goldness” and for me it was kinda my personal favourite of the collection I got, even if all of them are great. Again perfect prim work and as well an incredible great texture again!

My last outfit for this post is the “I <3 Mcqueen” dress, certainly from Vanguard as well 😉 Again we can see the great skills of Rollyn Humphrey, if it comes to texturing. Her ideas are fresh and modern and I really think this creations can be part of the fashion future in SL as they stand out from many other stuff. You should make the effort and visit the Vanguard Mainstore (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fazul/54/214/286)
