Crazy Connection: Minimal Style with NYU

March 6, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

“The most important thing to remember is that you can wear all the greatest clothes and all the greatest shoes, but you’ve got to have a good spirit on the inside. That’s what’s really going to make you look like you’re ready to rock the world.”

— Alicia Keys

Sometimes you do not need much to express yourself. Simplicity can be the key as well 😉

Not too long ago, I only knew Dahriel by name, before Raven Pennyfeather, owner and designer of RFyre, brought us together 😉 We started to do pics together and more and more we discovered that we have a lot of things together depending on fashion style and even personality. Sometimes it is just scaring how close alike we think and act. For me it is not something that happened a lot, that you know a person for not too long and already feel you would have known this person for your whole life. I am very grateful that Raven played fate and introduced us to each other 😉

The more we worked on pictures, the more we both discovered that we would like to make more out of our ideas and just post together sometimes. We kind wanted to have a project together. We both are busy bees, Dahriel with his pose store *PosESioN* and me with blogging teaching and modeling but still we wanted to use the little free time to make something together. As we were asked for doing a column for a magazine, the “Crazy Connection” was born.

We both like the non usual and the different view on things, as well we like to have fun and be creative and we both felt kinda connected to each other, so the name was just perfect 😉

Today we wanted to make something special with a minimal style. What could fit better to start with as the wonderful creations of Nyunyu Kimono, owner and designer of NYU – Minimalistic High Fashion Couture. Dahriel picked the “Cropped Jumpsuit” and the “Tux Loafers” from NYU while I decided to go with the “Cotton Dress” with the “Cotton Cuffs” and the “Collared Bow Heels”.

Dahriel had the idea to use one of the cool buildings from Ewan Crumb for the scenery and he made the 2 poses we are using… I am sure that he will soon sell them at *PosESioN* 😉

For the skins we wanted something very pale that goes with the white stylings and Dahriel decided to wear one of his favourite skins from Fruk, while I used one of the new skins by Silken Moon. The blindfold was kinda the perfect finish for the whole look and it felt like a strong symbol for being open-minded and not just to believe what you can see 🙂

We hope you enjoyed our simple and minimalistic journey.

Crazy Connection: – M.o.w.’s Style –

March 1, 2013 by Wicca Merlin

(Models: Dahriel & Wicca; Snapshot & Artwork by Dahriel)

I already posted about that Dahriel and me discovered an amazing cool shop for casual clothing called M.o.w. We both already blogged about that brand in the last days and we thought we maybe could do one together 😉

As we started to do pics together none of us yet had the idea of where this team work would bring us. But after the pictures got seen by a few ppl and we got a quite nice and good response on them we talked more and more doing pics and posts together. Lately a magazine approached us if we would not wanna share a few pics and the style cards for a small column. That was the moment when the “Crazy Connection” was born, because we needed a name for the column and as well for our teamwork 😉

Dahriel as always is way faster as I am with the pictures so he already started the post with the picture and the style card. I asked him if he would mind if, I add some words to it and my edited version of his snapshot.

So for today and the first official post of the “Crazy Connection“, Dahriel and me styled some of the M.o.w. designs that we both got. As I still cannot snap pictures with shadows, Dahriel made the snapshot and send it to me. The picture you can see at the beginning of the post is the version Dahriel edited. I could not resist this time to work a bit in Photoshop as well on that amazing snapshot and at the bottom I would like to share my version as well 😉

We used the “Pleasure” couple pose of PosESioN, that Dahriel made lately and soon will release in his Mainstore as well 😉

I hope you all enjoyed the birth of a wonderful project and give Dahriel a warm welcome to “Fashion Addicted“. I hope that we will have many “Crazy Connection” posts besides Dahriel and my single ones.
