MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Turkey 2012 by Tres Beau

by

Today I would like to show case the incredible national costume of Miss Turkey 2012, Miss Xandrah Sciavo. With this amazing firework of textures, prims, fabrics and colors, Kimmera Madison worked out an art work for Tres Beau. Again Kimmera proved that she really takes it serious if models come and ask her for the national costumes for Miss Virtual World. She takes a great effort to research the typical elements and colors of the country she makes the dress for. If you google about traditional outfits of Turkey, you will find many designs that come very close to what Kimmera created. The colors, the shape of the prims and the combination of laced, sheer and opaque parts… super awesome. If you take a look on all the ornaments that decorate this stunning dress… the little chain parts and decorations at the belt, the wonderful chest part with the coins that are made as prim parts, you only can imagine how long Kimmera sat on this piece of art. The head-piece as well is part of the outfit with the beautiful decoration at the right front side. Talking of chains and coins, the jewelry of this great outfit as well is part of it if you purchase it at Tres Beau. Kimmera as well made the effort to create the perfect matching jewelry to this outfit. The cute earrings with the little bells as well are typical for the country and it’s belly dancers 😉 The huge necklace combines gems and noble metals with a leather line in an amazing way. Again we can see, that Kimmera really has an eye for the detail. This as well made her to one of the most popular designers in SL and the SL Fashion world I guess 😉 If an outfit is not just made of its basics, even if they are great, then you can see how much a designer puts in to his creations and this little details mostly make those outfits so special and unique then 🙂 If you make your way to the Tres Beau Mainstore you can get your “Miss Turkey” and feel like an oriental princess 🙂

I tried to find a nice pose for this amazing outfit but no pose wanted to do what I had in mind, or the different parts of the outfit were hidden, so the one I used is my first one, I made on my own*dances around* Basically I have to thank Kimmera for this dress that finally put me making my own poses as well 🙂

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss Turkey 2012 by Tres Beau

by

The wonderful evening gown of Miss Turkey 2012 – Miss Xandrah Sciavo – was made again of our genius Kimmera Madison, owner and incredible designer of Tres Beau. Kimmera seems like a barrel with no bottom for wonderful ideas of designing and textures. Not one of her gowns – and there were quite a few – of the Miss Virtual 2012 finales looked even close to the other, neither in design or color or textures or prims. The beautiful “Miss Xandrah” gown is a very elegant and shiny design with the amazing prims of the skirt. The skirt looks close to a mermaid skirt but does not start that deep as we know it usually from mermaid dresses. The first layer of fabrics that is made of feathers starts round the knees and it flows in an awesome bigger skirt part that looks more solid but still very aerial. The mixture of this 2 very different fabrics again shows how great are Kimmera’s skills in ideas and designs. The bodice is made very filigree with a shining fabric and wonderful dark ornaments. If you take a closer look you can see that this ornaments are delicious gemstones that are repeated in the earrings and the necklace as well. Talking of the jewelry… the awesome set is part of the gown and as well made by Tres Beau!!! The mixture of the dark gems and the white pearls is just the perfect jewelry for this amazing gown and I really love the idea to have the gemstones as a decoration for the bodice of the gown as well. It gives such an overall round and just perfect look. The amazing headpiece made out of filigree and aerial feathers just gives the little extra sophisticated touch to the “Miss Xandrah” gown. I like the idea of the side, non symmetric placed attachment for the hair. So do no think too long… be honest with yourself, you must have this amazing elegant and sophisticated gown for your personal wardrobe 😉 Hurry over to Tres Beau and get yours 😉

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Panama 2012 by Tres Beau & Finesmith

by

Today I would like to take a closer look in the national gown of Miss Panama 2012, Miss Mely Gibbs. The fantastic “Miss Panama”costume was made by Kimmera Madison, yes again a Miss Virtual World 2012 design by Tres Beau 😉

I was thinking by myself, if I could think about something typical for
Panama, and I was not really able to. I tried to google a bit and found a few traditional costumes, that looked very close to the one Tres Beau did. Again was impressed on the research, Kimmera did to create this incredible and adorable costume. Panama is the southernmost country of Central America, and many different cultures and influences got settled down there. To get the exact information about that I recommend to take a look at Wikipedia, what I did too and why I should just copy information you can read at the place where it came from ;p (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama) But I saw a lot of indian influences as well and some of those looked very close to the one Kimmera did 🙂 She really put a lot of work, love and eye for the detail on this costume. All this different fabrics like metal, feathers, delicate fabrics for the clothing layers… for me a again a masterpiece of art. First, as I put on that gown, I thought ‘omg how can I ever find a pose for that huge gown?!?’ but I have to admit it was not that hard as I thought of… I kinda think Kimmera knows about that and she designs even the most huge looking gowns and costumes and you still can find poses to showcase them. The attachment points are chosen so very well that the gown moves naturally with every inch you move by yourself. For me that just underlines, that Tres Beau is one of the most popular and everlasting brands in SL for a reason 😉 “Miss Panama” is now available at the Tres Beau Mainstore.

Miss Mely Gibbs chose an already existing set from Finesmith to complete her look. The “Coral Blossom” set sets an awesome blue accent as well with the necklace, the wonderful earrings and the stunning face ornament. All the wonderful round shaped gems picked up the theme for me and I think it was a good choices for the beautiful “Miss Panama” costume. Normally you have an awesome tiara as well that is included in the “Choral Blossom” it just would have got lost under that huge headpiece of the “Miss Panama” costume 😉 The “Coral Blossom” set you will find in different colors as well at the Finesmith Mainstore.

Miss Panama 2012 – Miss Mely Gibbs – made her way to Tres Beau for her evening gown for the Miss Virtual Wold 2012 finale. Kimmera Madison, owner and designer of Tres Beau, again did an incredible job on this wonderful and detailed gown. “Miss Gibbs” is the prove, how exciting and interesting a one color gown can be is the designer has the skills to do so. Kimmera certainly has them with her long past of designing and creating. The different shades of brown and all the little details make this stunning gown to an artistic creation. The bodice is made with sheer parts as well and it adds a very elegant and sexy touch to the same time. The wide skirt catched parts of the texture of the bodice but it is fully opaque. The awesome ruffles and folds on the train in the back again show Kimmera’s incredible designing skills. What caught my eyes were this beautiful roses in the back, that#s why I tried to find a pose to show the as well 🙂 If you love that gown as much as I do you can get yours at the Tres Beau Mainstore.

The jewelry for this amazing “Miss Gibbs” gown was made by yula Finesmith… more and more I discover that she must have been the most busy jewelry designer for this years MVW ;). Yula created the wonderful “Mely” set for the “Miss Gibbs” gown and it really is made perfect for this look. The jewelry underlines the amazing classy and formal style. The set contains the tiara, a pair of earrings, bracelets and the wonderful necklace.The whole set you can recolor and retexture with the great menu yula includes in most of her jewelry. At the Finesmith Mainstore, you can get your very own “Mely” set now 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe: LOTD 11/23/2011 – The Dark Side…

by

Today I saw a little note in Starwalkers from Daron Brandeis… he looked for a model he can do a face shot with. He told some requirements and it sounded like a sweet challenge and I IMed him. A few hours later we met at his studio. I already had some face looks prepared and after some time we developed what he had in mind. We changed around hair and makeup color. I really enjoyed it to help him, to get his vision to come true, of what he had in mind. I saw the background and my look and started to try to imagine what will come out. Daron added some lights as well – actually they looked like 3 funny balls floating around me as I had my settings lowered as usual when I just roam around :p. So I was not really able to get the imagination of the final picture. After he did the closeup, he took some more snaps… I heard the camera going ;). After some nice talking as well I went and let him do his work. After my LeeZu shift all of a sudden he told me he did the closeup… (wich you can see above)

Daron TPed me back to his studio and as I rezzed in and could see the picture…  something happened what’s really rare for me… I became speechless as the picture rezzed in. What I saw was simply breathtaking, never before someone catched me and as well my feelings so perfect! The picture really touched me with the look, the angle and the atmosphere… all was just perfect! I would say I never got a better closeup from a photographer then this one… I never got a closeup that showed me better than this one in that very moment. Not long after I left him with my incredible head shot, he IMed me again, telling me, he would have another one done… and not much time later the 3rd. Wich every picture I saw.. I more and more became silent, because of this wonderful images.  With this pictures I got an idea back in mind for a styling and picture I wanted to do for a long time and Daron seems to be the one that can do that picture for me… so I am looking forward to meet him again to realize this idea. If you need a picture, with soul, attitude and atmosphere… please consider Daron Brandeis. I really enjoyed working with him, he is very talkative, nice and kind and that really helps for getting the very best results for pictures if photographer and model are able to come together and talk about visions and ideas!

LOTD 09/29/2011 with Fellini Couture

by

Yesterday I met Joy Fellini – talented designer and owner of Fellini Couture –  on one of her secret shopping tours… nope I will not tell where :p… and she gave me one of her latest releases – “Z”. Such an awesome creation with a lovely zebra print all over the dress. The huge ruffles on the sides are made in a sheer lace fabric and make an awesome contras to the opaque dress it self. What really caught my eyes were the zebra tinted claws that decorate the chest and the huge headpiece that as well has this awesome claws that hold it on the head. The bracelets and the collar are as well part of the outfit. For the earrings I used the “Noir” earrings from Finesmith Design, and the shoes are made by epoque. For me the “Z” dress is definitely a must have for the modern fashionista. If you make your way to the Fellini Couture Mainstore you can take a look by yourself and as well see all the other amazing designs or Joy Fellini 🙂

Incredible Autumn News by Tres Beau!!!

by

Yesterday I had the great honor to judge at the Styling Forward contest with Frolic Mills and Kimmera Madison. It was great fun and we saw some  cool Halloween stylings. After the show, Kimmera, Edi and me, talked a while and had fun in some pose stores. During that time Kimmera gave me 2 of her new designs. Not long after I excused myself and went into my dark corner to look at the outfits… WOW!!! Both are incredible great and so perfect for the actual season! I was sitting over my inventory to find a few things to style this wonderful outfits quite a while, but then it looked like I wanted it to be :p …

The first you can see in the pic above is called “Flight”. The huge feather collar inspired me to use the great face tattoo from Miamai that reminded me of some feathers of dark birds as well. That brought me on those 2 crows and the dead tree in the back ;). The lipstick was made by Oceane and the earrings are one of my longtime favourite, the “Vivienne” earrings made by yula Finesmith. The boots and the hat are as well part of that amazing “Flight” outfit of Tres Beau!!!

The second outfit for today as well from Tres Beau will be the “Meryl” dress in red…

On this dress you again can see Kimmera’s skills and possibilities if it comes to designing. The beautiful corsage has a handpainted texture as usual for Tres Beau clothing. That for me it makes it very special, as you really can see nearly every brush line, that is needed to make such a wonderful and unique texture! I only can imagine how long it takes to draw and paint such a filigree texture. What I always adored on Kimmera’s work is that the textures seem to move with the avatar… the texture hardly gets stretched weird or destroyed while my pixels move. The awesome sheer skirt as well is a pice of art if you see how it moves with the avatar. The  right flexibility and moving time to let it look really real. The 2 big ornaments at the left hip and the head make amazing eyecatchers and give an extra touch of elegnance to the whole outfit. If you visit the Tres Beau Mainstore you will find a lot more of the amazing creations of Kimmera Madison and I am sure you will as well find one for you 😉
