Fashion for Life 2011, starting NOW!

And going on through the 22nd of March!
This year there's been a little change in organisation, but I am pretty sure the fair will be a huge success!
All the info you might need (questions answered, list of designers participating, list of events and so on) can be found on Fashion for Life Official Website.
This year's theme is "Beyond Black & White", and we were totally free to interpret that however we wanted. I, as colours-addict, stuck to the theme and contributed EXCLUSIVELY black and white items. Some are from my past years, some are brand new releases that will be available to public first of all at the fair, in their black and white version.

What else is great about this year?
There is going to be a HUNT going on (with hunt items prices 10 to 100L$ and ALL proceeds going to RFL) and many many designers have set up Gatcha kiosks! So with a tiny donation you can get a random item among 6 different ones!

I am on the Ansel Adams SIM, together with a lot of wonderful formal wear designers. [TP to Ansel Adams SIM]

 Don't miss the chance to come by and shop for a good cause! The fair closes its door on March the 22nd, so you do have time! ;)

Seen on: Blissimo, My Style in Second Life, Look what the cat brought.

Lots of love,
Clio

End-of-the-year SALE!

Happy belated Christmas!

And to celebrate the end of the THIRD year of Clio in SL (yes, that's right, I started designing 3 long years ago :)), I decided to hold a big sale and to set all the prices in store to ONE THIRD of their original value!

All formals, casuals, and fatpacks are now 60 to 70% OFF!
The offer will be valid until the 31st of December... that just gives you a few days to come by!
The prices have been reduced both at my main store [TP to Sunrise Island] and in my Marketplace store :)

I hope this will make up for being unable to release new items before Christmas >.<

Happy holidays, dears!
With love,
Clio

That's right! This year the theme of the fair is "Fashion Cities in the world", thus the 8 SIms hosting the designers' stores have been built inspired by 8 great fashion cities.

Midsummer Amusements in store!

Hello folks!
Just a quick post to let you all know that my Fashion Designers' Challenge outfits have been moved to my main store! Now you can find them there, with my entire collection. I will be talking to Mouse to check if she can have a vendor of her jewelry there, as well!

THEEEEN, do NOT forget about FDC Photo contest! It's still running, and as I already said: the prize is a huge bag full of FDC creations! Don't miss the chance to win!
For more info, read FDC blog ;)
And if you want to browse through all Fashion Designers' Challenge items and choose the best for your photos, you can buy this photobook for 0L$.

Have fun!

Midsummer... Amusements!

I am SO late posting this, but YES! Fashion Designers' Challenge items are finally out!

And after the teasers I had published in the past, here are the actual dresses!
As my usual, I have made more than 1 colour for the outfit, and I also came up with a long and large gown to fully match Mouse Mimistrobell's jewelry (the cute necklace she made would have disappeared inside the ruffles with the original version!).

This time again, I made the gowns available on all possible layers, and the skirt inside is scripted to allow resizing (thank you Wietze Cassini for the script:)).

BUT, before I go on giving more 'practical' information on where to get the items (which are not yet in my main store), let me share with you WHY in the world I had to make such a silly gown!
It's all Samsara's fault! LOL.
Not only cause she was the one dragging me in this awesome event that has been FDC, but also because I was challenged by the very Samsara Nishi to:
"Whenever we are too stressed, laugh is always a good way to dismiss the stress out! I guess the clown is the most primitive and universal profession that uses laugh as the main tool to make his work happen.

I cut & pasted this from wikipedia: "Clowns are found in cultures of any time and place, because they meet some deeply rooted needs in humanity: violation of taboos, the mockery of sacred and profane authorities and symbols, reversal of language and action."

I challenge you to create a fancy and elegant clown costume. With just some few changes, your creation should adapt itself to at least those 2 different situations: a professional clown wearing it to perform his job; and also to a fancy fashionista wearing it to go to a red capet party.

I wish you will have fun creating it !! "

So, I had to make something that could suit both a circus AND a red carpet!
I don't really know if everyone will approve my final outcome, but I was very glad to see Samsara herself liked it :) (plus, Mouse kept encouraging me that I was doing good... so I have overcome my first doubts ;)).

While I had to work on this clowny/funny challenge, Mouse had her own job to do! She had to create a set of jewelry inspired by "A Midsummer Night's Dream" of Shakespeare.
She obviously did it magnificently! I think the flowers shout out "MIDSUMMER!" and their colours have something dreamy about it... what best could she come out with! :D

So, well, right now the items created by Mouse and me, and by the other 33 brave designers who took part in the challenge are all exposed at the 2 FDC stores (TP to FDC at Road to Oz or to FDC at Sn@tch City).
After the final show, on May 16th 6 PM SL time, at Patch Thibaud Auditorium (where you are ALL invited!), we will take down the 'community stores' and the creations will be available at each Main Store:)

I have to thank Samsara once again for organising all this, and hug tight Mouse for being such a wonderful teammate who made the whole process a real pleasure :-*

Do visit the store to see what everyone else made!

Laters,
Clio

Fashion Designers Challenge is approaching!

Yes!
Today is the deadline!

The 35 brave designers who accepted the challenge are finally ready to pack their efforts in the final outfits/jewels/shoes/hair/skins!
Multiple categories, team work and a lot of fun!
The Fashion Designers Challenge was born from an idea of Samsara Nishi, who sent out invites to take part to this HIGHLY unusual event:)

You can read more about it on the official FDC blog.

All the items are to be released on the 5th of May, with a pre-launch (for press and bloggers) on the 30th of April! That's soon!
And I can assure you there will be loads to see and tons to be surprised of!

A big thank to Samsara for letting me be a part of this, and to Mouse Mimistrobell, who has been a splendid team-mate!
Stay tune to see the actual outcome of what Mouse and I had to create ;)

Hugs!
