by

Today I am allowed to show again New and latest releases from Mea Culpa! I got 3 fantastic outifts to showcase and also Tatanka Kaligawa, designer of Mea Culpa told me that he will have a fantastic contest!!!

My first outfit, that you also can see in the first pic up, is called “Out of the Deep”

The name is program and this incredible outfit is covered by many little highlights. The whole outfit is in a light and bright blue that shines and glows all over. Little shells and amazing waving prims make this outfit to a perfect design if you wanna be the center of view 😉 The textures of the layers are awesome detailed and you can get the light imagination of a mermaid with the lovely painted scales on the clothing layers.

The second outfit was made for the Miss Egypt 2011 of the MVW contest. “Sierra Morte”. Luralie Bailey is one of the official candidates and she represents Egypt for 2011.

The dress is made in amazing brown tones with a lovely couture touch. Dark and light parts are perfectly arranged to give the outfit the special touch!

Like all Mea Culpa outfits “Sierra Morte” is made of fantastic detailed and lovely handprinted textures and amazing extra ordinary prims. The hat carries a yellow decoration and the same color you will find on the right hand side of the outfits at the hips on the flexible spikes. The texture of the top and also the sheered skirt are made in a lighter shade of brown that perfectly matches the dark brown of the hat, the attachment round the upper body and the sleeves of the top.

Last outfit for today is the newest release of Mea Culpa called “Heavenly Marriage”. A wonderful bridal outfit, that has the special different and extraordinary touch. Beautiful white attachments move dreamy round your body while walking. The short top allows a peek on your skin what gives a very sexy touch also. 😉

The amazing headpiece with the smooth veil also is part of the special bridal gown. In this close up you can see the lovely folds of the veil that let it look very realistic. also you can take a closer look on the beautiful and stunning top and the great prim that decorates the belly. Overall a dream in white what makes it tempting to think about your own wedding 😉

The Beginning – Very first show of Mea Culpa by Opium – Show Review

by

(Models from left to right: Wicca Merlin & Katina Magic, Picture by Romeo Torvalar)

On the 21st of May, Tatanka Kaligawa – owner and designer of Mea Culpa – presented the first time his new creations on the runway. Mea Culpa is a very young label and basically goes for avantgarde and haute couture… the special things but also Tatanka tries to hold them realistic and wearable.

The runway that Opium builded was dreamy and unique. Colorful fantasy elements and the amazing color changing runway gave a wonderful frame for the lovely creations of Mea Culpa.

The models used particles to make the magic mystical feeling perfect. I will try to give you a little imagination of what it looked like, even if the pictures cannot carry the great feeling that you had being live at the show 🙂

My first outfit was the “Moon Rose”. On the first view a simple looking little, tight dress. But if you look closer you can see that it is not just made of a simple plain black texture. It let imagine sweet folds on the whole dress.

Highlights are definitely the lace stockings and the fluffy boa…and my personal highlight is the headpiece. A big flower with an amazing laced veil that repeats the lace character of the stockings and gloves.

My second outfit was the “Blue Dragon Blade”. A complete outfit with boots. The blue and silver combination was perfect for blue particles 😉 The center of that outfit are the long and flexible needles and spikes that wave around you if you move. It has a lightly warrior touch and a very fantasy basic.

The outfit comes as a “ready-to-wear” with dress, hair piece and boots. The texture is a rough material and a color combine of silver black and blue. The boots also carry spikes and thorns to match the outfit perfectly.

“Storm of passion” I already showed before in another blog post. A very strong outfit with a dark mystic touch.

The perfect addition for this outfit were the new Stiletto Moody – “Bare Fay” wildset heels with the great python print… for me they matched perfect 🙂

My last out fit for that incredible show was the “Bound for Hell”, one of the latest releases of Mea Culpa.

“Bound for Hell” a very special and huge outfit. It looks a little bit as a dark priestess or even the devils wife 😉 The great hood gives a wonderful mystical touch and all the big, flexible attachments make it lightly mystical. Basically the body is covered by a lace suit. The great shoulder attachment adds a lightly dangerous look. To cover the “private” parts The top has a black ornamented texture and the pants are black too carrying the same wonderful red and silver decoration.

Again the best match for me were ankle boots from Stiletto Moody. “Bare Lucille” completes the strong and extravagant look of “Bound for Hell” perfectly.

Mostly all poses for that show were made by Arisia Ashmoot, owner and designer of  Body Talking.

I hope you had fun with my short review of another fantastic Opium Fashion Show!

Unbelievable but true… the store is not long open and again Mea Culpa released new incredible outfits!

(Mea Culpa – “Kiss of the Scorpion”  – Model: Arisia Ashmoot)

The “Kiss of the scorpion” in a very egocentric and extraordinary outfit with many gorgeous attachments and details. A big twisted wild skirt covers the lower body and carries a strong scorpion tail. The top looks like kinda corset that carries 6 amazing tentacles.

(Mea Culpa – “Kiss of the Scorpion” /copper – Model: Daffodil Crimson)

Both shoulders are covered with amazing “shields” that underline the character of this wild outfit. For me the eye catcher on this outfit was the head-piece that can be worn with or without hair. A big detailed scorpion with a long tail and a very sharp and dangerous tail end 😉

(Mea Culpa – “Japanese Sublime” – Model: Wicca Merlin)

A lovely contrast to the “Kiss of the Scorpion” makes the “Japanese Sublime” A asian gown that carries wonderful prim attachments beside the laced skirt and top. The big fan in the back is decorated with long sharp spikes. Round the waist as a wonderful contra you have sweet ruffles that move dreamy with every step..you nearly can hear them rustle 😉

(Mea Culpa – “Here comes the Sun” – Model: Wicca Merlin)

“Here comes the sun”… the name is program 🙂 A very light and strong glowing dress that only is made of prim attachments – even the top and panties 😉

(Mea Culpa – “Here comes the Sun” – Model: Wicca Merlin)

The big head part gives the perfect imagination of a rising sun. All attachments are made perfect flexi and wave around your body with every movement. Haute Couture pur! You will be definitely be the center of view with this magnificant design!

(Mea Culpa – “Style Disaster” /white – Model: Wicca Merlin)

My last outfit for this blog is called “Style Disaster” and is available in white and purple (to be seen in the very first pic of this post). This outfit is a combination of all forms and shapes 😉 A wonderful mix-up 😉 The skirt is very tight long and decorated by amazing ruffles at the sides. The left right side also carries long and sharp glass parts. The glass look is repeated on the upper arm attachments. The top is opened in the font and allowed a peek on the skin 😉 The shoulder and chest are covered by a wonderful smooth and round swirled ruffle that has an edgy part up high, this also carries one of the “glass pins”  Again we have a wonderful head part that doesn’t need any hair in my opinion 😉 This head part also caries a sweet glass part that covers the left eye wonderful and gives you a mystical touch.

Mea Culpa designs are not only special they even carry special, creative and extraordinary names 😉 Like the first outfit ” Trash Treasure”. A short dress in black and white with wonderful prim attachments, that make th whole creation to a piece of art. The basic clothing layers are decorated with many different shaped prims that give the whole outfit the special touch, like the round shoulder parts, the fan looking neck part and for sure the amazing short skirt with the amazing detailed belt.

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Silver Dragon”, Model: Arisia Ashmoot)

Up next “Silver Dragon” again shows the amazing skills of  Tatanka Kaligawa, the genius designer of Mea Culpa. The basic clothing layers show off a lot of skin and make this outfit to a sexy eyecatcher. This outfit comes as a full outfit with head part and boots. Center of this outfit are for me the long steel parts and spikes that give the outfit a light amazon touch… some for the brave strong girls 😉

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Dark Desire”, Model: Daffodil Crimson)

“Dark Desire” wakes up dark desires 😉 A long black gown with a beautiful ornamented corsage part. The tight corsage leads over to a big ballgown skirt. The special detail on this incredible gown in the great head pice with the lovely flower and the fantastic spider webs in 2 colors. The black of the gown is broken with the red petals of the flowers and one red spiderweb. The headpiece is also decorated with beautiful lace parts that give the whole part a mystical and elegant touch.

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Taste of Lotus”, Model: Wicca Merlin-not available in store, custom design)

“African Lotus” is a very huge gown that definitely will make you the center of every event. It is not a symmetric outfit, the amazing attached prims are take the left side of the outfit. Dreamy flexi made the move with every step you take. The top layer is covered by an amazing wrapped part that goes over the right shoulder.

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Storm of Passion”, Model: Wicca Merlin)

“Storm of Passion” again is a very sexy and short outfit that shows a lot of a ladies well-shaped body 😉 The whole outfit is made of a glittering and sparkling texture what gives you a very special shine. The head part includes a long flexi ponytail in the back that goes down to the waist.  The basic black-silver-grey texture is highlighted with lovely emerald gems at head, chest and belly. And if you look very close you can see a beautiful leopard animal print texture that covers the body that is worn under the glittering prim parts. 2 long flexi attachments go down from the wait to the knee and caress your legs with every movement.

(Outfit: Mea Culpa – “Perfectly Wrapped”, Model: Arisia Ashmoot)

Last outfit for this post is “Perfectly Wrapped” The name shows off the basic idea of this design 😉 The whole body is wrapped in a foil looking texture with amazing edgy spikes that make a great contrast. The great head part is also included and carries a few of the long edgy parts that make this outfit definitely to a haute couture one. The long attachments are again great flexi made and move natural with every step you make.

Mea Culpa has a lot more great designs that I will show you in another post 😉

The store just opened, so if you wanna be one of the first that wears that extraordinary and fantastic designs… hurry to the Mea Culpa Mainstore. The store itself is worth a visit… modern, and extravagant… the right place for a real fashionista to shop 😉

Mea Culpa – another sneak preview of an incredible design!

by

Again I have the great honor to show you a prerelease of one of the new “Mea Culpa” designs. The store will be open very soon and I cannot wait to see all the other great designs!

For today we have the outfit “Fantasy” in 3 different colors. The black one is called “Twilight Fantasy”

For this outfit I only added skin and shoes. The rest of that wonderful creation is part of that wonderful outfit, like the great head part that is attached to one of the ears so that you also can wear hair to it if you like. I decided to skip hair cause I liked the look the head-piece gives 😉 Hair just was taking the attention away from it in my view. The great waist attachment is kind of eyecatcher too. It looks like a smart little skirt but it does not cover anything and you can see the great basic body and the amazing laced clothing layers like the stockings or even the long sleeves of the top.

The white version is called “Innocent Fantasy” and it is parted with a nother color for the fantastic orchids that decorate this color too.

It has the same great features a the black version and in this picture you can see that the outfit contains a pair of colors socks according to the outfit color also.

Last but not least I will give you a peek on the red version of that amazing design what is called “Red Light Fantasy”. The red version also has all the same great parts and features like the white and black one 🙂

Overall I am very excited about the Mea Culpa Mainstore opening that is so close and I nearly can wait for 😉
