MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Russia 2012 by PurpleMoon & Finesmith

The wonderful national gown for Miss Russia 2012 was made by Poulet Koenkamp, owner and creative designer of PurpleMoon. She made a wonderful interpretation of the russian traditional style for Miss Rusalka Callisto, who represented Russia in the Miss Virtual World competition for 2012 and in the end made the 3rd runner up. The textures are fantastic and you can see the incredible skills of Poulet, if you take a closer look on the fabrics. The huge headpiece as well is part of the “Catherine” gown. The wonderful ensemble is now available at the PurpleMoon Mainstore. For the jewelry Rusalka chose different already existing parts from Finesmith like the earrings and ring of the Rhonda set, the “Capri Collar” or the “Golden Nails”. As an extra special eye catcher, yula Finesmith designed a wonderful brooch to match this awesome outfit and the theme. The “Fabrege” brooch is an amazing and perfect decoration for this wonderful creation and it can found in a few more color combinations at the Finesmith Mainstore.

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

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!!!

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss Spain 2012 by Mea Culpa & Finesmith

Mea Culpa did a fantastic job on the Evening gown for Miss Shena Neox, Miss Spain 2012. Black and red are the typical colors we think of, if it comes to Spain. So even for the evening gown Tatanka Kaligawa kept this colors. The basic red color of the dress is broken wonderful by the black fans and applications. The black ornaments are made with such a great eye for the details, where you again can see the incredible skills of Tatanka Kaligawa.  All those different shades of red and even a mixture of different red textures make this gown a piece of art. The jewelry is very filigree and delicate for the earings and necklace, but also the 2 amazing fans for head and hand are part of this amazing set. The fans underline the theme of the dress perfectly. “Hermosa Espina” you can purchase in 2 different colors at the Finesmith Mainstore. Shena Neox made it to the 2nd runner-up in the MVW 2012 contest with the “Devine Decision” gown from Mea Culpa and the “Hermosa Espina” jewelry set from Finesmith.

LeeZu meets Finesmith for Christmas ;)

Awesome news by LeeZu and Finesmith, two of my favourite designers, made me combine them for the blog 😉

The first dress, what you can see above as well, unbeliveable but true is the actual groupgift from LeeZu. Perfect for Christmas and the Holy Days, this red dress has so many sweet details. The long skirt is made perfectly flexible. The top only is a tiny cute part that covers the private parts as much as it has to to keep the outfit PG 😉

The huge hat as well is part of the “Anastasia” groupgift. The candle, baubel and other sweet details really make this hat to a little peace of art. I just added the PurpleMoon “Ana” hair in platinum and the appropriate hairbase.The skin comes from Glam Affair and te makup was made by LovelyMi as part of her christmas gift.

For the jewelry I added one of the latest Finesmith releases – the “Alexandra” set in white. Yula Finesmith released some of her creations in white as a special for the season. “Alexandra” is one of them, the others will follow 😉

The second outfit as well comes from LeeZu. A special edition of the “Natascha” dress in red. The short and sexy dress in the perfect Holiday color makes a super cute Ms Santa as well 😉 The awesome red “Street Blues Boots” are as well from LeeZu. The boots come in 2 different versions for each color in the same packet. one is the uni color and one is mixed with some highlights. For the jewelry I decided to go with the set that Draakje Daily got for her national costume fat the MVW 2012 finals. The “Tulp” set in red was the best jewelry I could think of for the cute little sexy Ms Santa version of mine :p. I hope that I soon can show you all of the amazing sets , yula Finesmith did for some of the MVW 2012 candiates 😉

A flawless, classy and sophisticated look with GizzA ;)

Yesterday my sweet, litte sister Falbala catched me stying the new “Flawless” gown from GizzA as she was doing exactly the same just in another color and she said “Hey why not doing that one together?” – Good idea ;)! So on my blog you will find the cream version and for the styling card of the black version please see Falbala’s Blog (http://falbalafaireyfashionblog.wordpress.com/)

“Flawless” honors it s name 🙂 The long, smooth gown is floating to the ground from the chest on. The little details, like the beautiful flowers at the waist and the sides of the chest, again show the love for the detail and perfection of GizzA. The 2 trains on the sides, give an even more sophisticated touch to the whole design. The whole gown is made of one prim and is worked with wonderful fold, shadows and lights… simply perfect.

A perfect match for me to this delicate and soft colors was the “Rusalka” inspiration set from Finesmith and one of the  hair attachments from Vanity Hair.

Finesmith Designs – Inspiration Sets March/April Part I

Finally I made it to snap my wonderful inspiration set of the Finesmith Muse 2011 contest. On the 1st of May, Finesmith Designs had a wonderful show, produced by Kabuki Boutique. The show was called “11 Rooms”. Each room had a special scene.

Each model with it’s own inspiration set had a room that was made especially for that set. Taylor Wassip was acting in a bedroom, Luralie Bailey danced in a club scene, Rissa Friller was in a shopping rage at a Jewelry Store, Aliyeh Yifu, the little mermaid  was swimming in an amazing underwater scenerie, Shena Neox was putting together a wonderful style in a dressing room, Vivienne Coppola showcased her awesome set in a cabaret show, Jamee Sandalwood wandered around the forrest, Sy Whitesong hovered through the downtown at night, myself was captured in a dungeon, Melanie Sauterau (for the show replaced by Serene Faith) strolled through an Art Gallery and Rusalka Callisto was turning her body in front of a camera in a photostudio.

During the show always one room was opened and each model has it’s own song to showcase the jewelry with a short choreography of poses. The audience was sitting in the middle of a black room and one room after another opened and a short story was read in a very interesting way not like the usual scripts of fashion shows. For this blog post I for sure wanted to show you the incredible set yula Finesmith made for me and as well I will try to show you all the wonderful sets one by one :). Luckily, I got the script afterwards so I can give you a short impression what was happening there :). At this point a big thank you to Xenobia Foxclaw who did this awesome script 🙂

As I mentioned… my room was a little dungeon. All in red and black with a cage and candles. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kabukimodels/5679571069/in/photostream) and for sure a text that matched this theme perfectly 😉

“Wicca Merlin was not born into the life of slavery. She entered it willingly with her eyes wide open. She adored her master and did his bidding. From cleaning his house to pleasing him in bed…she did it all without a word of complaint.

She knew he particularly liked to find her in this elaborate cage that hung in the dungeon surrounded by candles. She knew she looked especially pretty in candle light, and she loved the way the metals glinted and the candles set them ablaze on the walls. Tonight she wore his favorite set of jewelry – the Finesmith set that had been made to fit her. They felt warm and sensuous, and they fulfilled the promise he made when she signed the contract that made her his slave. Wicca would only enter such a relationship if the reward were her own set of jewelry from Yula. Wicca was quite sure she had the better end of that bargain.”

The second set I would like to show you, was made for Melanie Sauterau. For the show Serene Faith our actual MVW replaced Melanie as she was not able to make to the the show.

“Tonight is the opening of a new gallery exhibit. The pieces have been selected with great care to show the best work of this renowned artist. She is so young to be so accomplished in photography, oils, marble, metal, and gems. Her metal work is undoubtedly what she is best known for. I’m so very honored to be part of this exhibit. I’ve heard people say how very life-like I am. Some have even reached out to touch my skin to assure themselves that I am not a living model, or they watch my breast to see if I breath. I don’t understand how I cannot be living though – I have feelings, I love, I cry, I wonder..
I wonder who this person is who I’m named after – Melony Inspiration. Melony is a beautiful name, she must be beautiful to have inspired a work such as I am and the jewelry that I wear. I wonder if she is living still – perhaps a long lost love or a mother remembered fondly. I wonder what the story behind me is…I wonder.”

The last one for today yula made for Vivienne Coppola. A wild and fresh set that totally is a must have for every fashionista!

” Of all of her friends, Vivienne Coppola is the perfect one to appear in a dream cabaret. She has a wonderful collection of vintage flapper clothing. She is also dramatic in her behavior and her movements. She is even known to burst out into song and dance right on the street.
Even her jewelry, from Finesmith Designs, is perfect for her dramatic flair. The pieces seem somehow exuberant just like Vivienne. The band, the music, the dance, the beat of the drum – it all seems so full of life.
Listen, perhaps you can hear her now coming down the hall singing, “Stroke that shiny coat, stroking is the antidote, stroke that it’s a start, only for the wild at heart” – such a sexy song to sing and dance to. Yes, Vivienne is the perfect one to appear in this cabaret.”

All of the March / April inspiration sets are limited to 50 sets each and you can as well purchse them in single parts! As I said there are 10 new inspiration sets and I will show them to you one after another, so stay tuned for all the other lovely piece of arts created for wonderful models by yula Finesmith, owner and genius goddess of Finesmith Designs!

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.
