Inspired by Tom Ford S/S 2015 – How I put my style together?

Ferosh 02

I have to admit the idea to make a Tom Ford inspired look came not out of my head. There was a casting a few days ago and they requested a 70s Glam style after the S/S Collection 2015 of Tom Ford.

So I made my homework and sat down with google and watched first the fashion show of that collection and the I asked google for some pictures out of that show.

I tried to figure out what were the main aspects of the whole collection. Besides many details I saw black, black and black, some straps, a lot of sheer materials, shoes with high platform heels. messy hair and smokey eyes paired with nude lips.

So far so good. Since I did not wanna copy any of those stylings to as well bring an aspect of myself to it.

I started with the sheer part. I went through my inventory to find something that does not cover up the whole body and as well would not totally hide under all the mesh clothing.

In the end, the “Brigitte Body Tights” from LeeZu were the choice after trying on several sheer parts of my inventory. I liked it cause the arms and the lower legs are left bare wich gives a lightly sexy touch wich I found as well in most of the Tom Ford show pictures.

Now… find something that really shows the sheer and does not cover it up totally…

Regular pants would just have hidden the sheer body suit. After trying several pants – short, capri, 3/4 – I remembered the pants of GizzA’s “Donatella” outfit. With only one leg and the belt holding the pants in place that was the exact piece that I wanted. To cover the private part I wanted to use something not super solid and I put on the “Romance Black” panties from [Magnolia In], wich sadly does not exist anymore.

The top should be something that catches the straps/wrap character and as well the 70s Glam part. I decided to go with the “TSADE / Body Cuff” fromΒ  .Shi. It looked good and as well the way I wanted, but I was missing something still. I tried several bra, s and short top, but either they did not look good or they poked out under the Body Cuff. Since this was going to be a casting styling, there was no way to cheat with poking through prims :p

Finally I found the “Daleth” top, as well made by .Shi. With the golden ornaments and the shining black texture it was exact the right piece for the look.

I saw no jewelry on most of the pictures that I saw and with the golden decorations at the top it looked ok to me.

Messy hair… sounds like an easy task but after trying some of the hair I already had and a lot of demos, I figured I need a short hairstyle as everything else was either poking into the “Body Cuff” or the top *sighs*. I did not saw any short hair on the pictures I looked and nearly started all over with a nother idea, when I saw the “Nyja” hair from eXxEsS. It was not exactly what I was looking for but after trying and looking at it for some time I liked it more and more πŸ™‚

For the finish I just needed some smokey eyes and a light lip gloss wich not put any color on my lips, just a little shine.

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

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 πŸ˜‰ 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 πŸ˜‰ 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 πŸ™‚ If you make your way to the Tres Beau Mainstore you can get your “Miss Turkey” and feel like an oriental princess πŸ™‚

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 πŸ™‚

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

The wonderful evening gown of Miss Turkey 2012Miss 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 πŸ˜‰ Hurry over to Tres Beau and get yours πŸ˜‰

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

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 πŸ˜‰

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 πŸ™‚ 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 πŸ˜‰ “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 πŸ˜‰ The “Coral Blossom” set you will find in different colors as well at the Finesmith Mainstore.

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.

News of the latest collection of Glam Affair!

Glam Affair again made a great new line of outfits for every kind of event πŸ˜‰ One blog post will not even be enough to show them all in the right light. So I decided to make a 2 part story out of it πŸ™‚ My first outfit for this post will be “Ginevra”, a wonderful casual pants outfit. Very chic and autumn like it is the perfect dress for the actual season. The light pnats make a wonderful contrast to the black blouse. This black blouse has such wonderful detailed ruffles and folds… really amazing and they add a touch of elegance to the casual overal.”Ginevra” can be found in othecolor combinations as well at the Glam Affair Mainstore.

To bring a little bit of color into the autumn season the “Orchid” top is the right choice. I picked the pink one for this blog post but you can find as well more awesome fall colors at Glam Affair. The lights and shadows are set so perfect to make the blouse look realistic, that you nearly wanna grab one of this buttons if you wanna take off the blouse again πŸ˜‰ The high neck part is a total “in” for this autumn. The huge black belt breaks the basic color in a beautiful way and leads perfect to the black “Linn” pants with the grand ruffles at the left and right upper leg.

Now we leave the casual side a bit and go more into the chick direction with the wonderful “Ibis” outfit that I again combined with the “Linn” pants as I liked the ruffles of the pants so much to the huge side parts of the “Ibis” body.

This totally black shaded combination would be perfect for a night out or even some fashion event πŸ˜‰

“Fiona” is a very sexy outfit of the new Glam Affair collection and an outfit even Lady Gaga would die for maybe :p. Very sexy with the sheer body and very stylish with the short skirt and the huge bow as a dreamy neck collar πŸ™‚ With the Lady Gaga stylings in mind, I could not resist to wear the new mesh SlinkΒ  “Leather Thigh Highs” πŸ˜‰

“Sora” looks close to “Fiona” for the belly and waist part, but the top is way more closed and opaque and the big bow is not worn at the neck… it makes a wonderful eye catcher at the backside! The collar and wrist parts again made of incredible cute and detailed ruffles and folds like we had it for the “Ginevra” outfit. For me “Sora” would be the total “turn heads” on every fashion event :). As I said, that’s just the first post of the new Glam Affair line, as I wanted to give every outfit the right spot and attention it earned πŸ™‚

News at Ezura!!! An amazing new outfit for a perfect couple :)

Today I have the great honor to show you one of the latest releases of the great Ezura Xue, incredible designer of Ezura. She again created a wonderful outfit named “Willow” This great outfit as a male and a female version what makes it possible to be the perfect couple πŸ˜‰

Let me start with the female version of “Willow”

“Willow” for femalesΒ  comes in 6 wonderful different options to wear. The first one we can see above is the most elegantΒ  wide one with a long closed skirt that is amazing flexible. The hips are covered by a little part that looks like a short skirt over the long one and makes a lightly medieval touch. This touch is underlined from the amazing black brocade looking texture that covers the whole gown. The top is made like a wonderful corsage that accents the well shaped waist of a Lady perfectly. Only 2 lines hold the corsage in place and go over the shoulder to the back. Wonderful if you want to add jewelry like a huge collier πŸ˜‰ The arm parts are as well awesome flexible and move with every wind breeze.

For the first 3 versions we keep the ‘long’ skirt variation to some point. On the very left you can see the version that is fully open in the front and the long skirt part in the back falls like a train down with an opaque texture that keeps the amazing fabric of the top and the gown version. For the second version in the middle we again have an open front but not that much as before and the fabric changed to a very sexy sheer one. On the right we have one version, that just has a high slit on the right side, again with an opaque fabric.

As we look through all the different styles of that amazing outfit i do not wanna skip that you as well have the choice of 4 different colors. Coal, teal, emerald and mocha.Β  You can as well wear that fabulous outfit as a stunning lingerie as we can see on the left side in the teal color.

For the example of the mocha version I chose the short version of this amazing outfit. As you can see with this outfit you can cover every situation you can think of. It is really an awesome chameleon that has lots of possibilities.

 

Now it is time to take a look on the male version. Again I would like to thank Harsch Sharktooth for modeling this great outfit for the post πŸ™‚

The male “Willow” is the perfect match to the female one. The same great textures that you had on the skirt you find here on the jacket. The details on that outfit really blow me away. Every little part that you can think of is done with so much love on every single part. The white shirt, the tie and as well the waist coat that you can see under the jacked always is made of a lighter shade as the jacket itself.

Same as for the female “Willow” we have the colors coal, teal, mocha and emerald. In this pic you can see how great the shades work together for the different colors. Another great detail is the belt that lays so perfect on the hips. The pants are also made with great lights and shadows according to the color of the jacket and waist coat.

Overall you really should make your way to the Ezura Mainstore and take a look by yourself.
