I can already smell spring...

My first sculpted skirt! (well, apart from the super tiny Fernanda attachment ^^).

I have stepped back from my crazy and dark experimenting for this time, and made some cute and flowery spring dress.... afterall, spring is coming soon! :)

I wanted to make the dress using a sculpted skirt... and I ended up with this very simple design for it. I am quite happy of how it turned out, and hope you will be, too:)

I made 6 colours that are already for sale here, and the 7th colour (lilac) is reserved for RFL. I will have it as an RFL fund raiser, and it will ONLY be available through RFL till after RFL season is over :)

Hope you had a great Sunday:)

Love,
Clio

I feel like I went goth!

Here's a new ballgown with a gothic taste!

I don't know what it is about these new lines I am releasing lately, but they seem to be gong more and more dark.
After the misterious and burlesque Queue de Paon, here comes another gown in very rich and dark colours.
I made 7 different options, again, and they are transferable with top & pants on all layers, as my usual (at least lately :D).

I was playing around with the prim skirt of this gown and was still clueless about what textures to use for it... then this whole "dark" idea came along, I tried it... and it worked out absolutely full of personality ;) (at least in my opinion).

The gown looks like a mixture between a bird and a dark princess... I was almost going to find some complicated name for it, but in the end I called it Diane :)

(the Steel version, first one following here, is 50% OFF till Monday! Full Collection pack, as well!)




Available at my main store :)

Love,
Clio

MODA Spotlight 2009

Here's the link for the 2009 MODA Spotlight event featuring Clio!!!
A big "Thank you" to MODA for having me back this year.... hopefully I will see them again one year from now:)

MODA Spotlight 2009

Queue de Paon... Gown!

Hello dears:)

Yesterday night I had a Spotlight with MODA (which I will be sharing a link to, as soon as the podcast will be available) and I introduced a new design during the show!
It is a less 'crazy' version of the Queue de Paon Tail-Outfit. While the Tail-Outfit is nearly burlesque (and here I have to thank one of my customers for this definition!) this new option is a ballgown 100%.
It still follows the original outfit's inspirational idea, so it is a concentration of vanity, elegance and unicity, but it can be worn a lot more easily :)

It is available here :)

Here are all the colours:



As always, I have my introductory offer (this time, it lasts an entire week!).
And as always, the dresses come with top and pants on all layers and are TRANSFERABLE :)

Hope you like them!

Love,
Clio

Peacock Tail... to be unique!

Yes, girls, I am speeding on the daring highway, leading towards super-sexy!
I am loving outfits that show bare legs, so here is another very revealing and very fashionable item from my clothing line.
A second version with 'closed' skirt will be available in a few days, but meanwhile I released the sexy one ;)

I still like to consider it a formal gown, although it is clearly not the average evening dress.
It can be a wild cocktail dress or a provocative night gown... the choice is yours!
It will certainly not pass by unnoticed ;)

I made 7 colours and once again made top and pants available on all layers.
The dresses are all transferable (hehe, guess what? It's Valentine's Day!!! ;)) and I marked the Blue and the Colours Pack (all 7 colours!) down to 50% OFF for the whole weekend!

Here are the single colours:



(100% hand drawn, prims placed manually one by one)

Have a nice & naughty Valentine's Day, everyone!
Love,
Clio

Classy and revealing: Loredana

New sassy and formal gown!
This design comes from the many MANY dresses I have seen in videos, magazines and store windows all with a very high front cut, or anyways with very obvious 'legs-displaying'. So, after my dear Gwen, here comes a more 'classy' design.

The textures are as always 100% drawn by me, and I took care of making this dress as real as I could... zoom in on your seams and you can nearly see the stitching:)

The skirt is VERY large and has a second layer of sheer silvery material, to shake up the ensemble, and to still maintain some kind of "castity" to this daring design, as the reasonable neckline and the long gloves do.

I made 7 different colours for this dress. Top and pants are on all layers, and it is transferable, as all my dresses:)

Available at my main store.

Barbara Gown in store ;)

New formal just released in store.
I love the fluffy feeling this gown has.
The super flexi skirt is perfect for dancing as it is gentle while moving.
The top has a very deep cut in front and a very large hole on the back, revealing a lot of skin without looking too inappropriate.
The pattern on the whole dress comes from a stylized flower I came up with while doodling, and I pasted the actual flower on the bottom of the skirt panels.
The skirt won't show your legs yet it is vaporous and gives a sheer taste.
I added a pair of wrist-length gloves matching the gown's colour.
Top & pants come on all layers, and the dress is, as always, transferable: makes a splendid gift!

Be sure to come get it here :)




Love,
Clio

Heart of Love goal was met!!!

Hello lovelies:)
I wanted to inform everyone that the Heart of Love goal was met yesterday!!!
I am so grateful to everyone who donated to help this cause, and to the group of wonderful people who have worked to put the whole campaign up.

All proceeds exceding the 'limit' that was imposed back then when we started will be going to RFL.
So, I will have my 4 Jacqueline Bicolour gowns still up for that till tonight, then will change them to regular vendors , and will be giving 100% of the income to Shir. This is a personal choice, not something related to Heart of Love. I just think I can help Shir a tiny bit more by keeping those dresses selling for her till the whole campaign is officially over.
I will still have the donation box in store for a couple weeks, and that is going to collect funds for RFL.

Again, for updates, here is a link to Flutter Memel's blog.

Also, I am going to take down the actual gift vendors tomorrow. I will place a new gift out (my Rezday gift:)) and then will be changing the gift once a week, picking among my regularly sold items:)
I hope this will spice the thing up a bit;)

Again a big big, deep and warm hug to everyone who contributed in allowing Shir to get her surgery done.

Have a wonderful day:)

HoL and other news:)

First of all, I have a HUGE, GREAT, SENSATIONAL news about Heart of Love!
This morning it reached the supah-dupah amount of 542000 L$!!!

I am so glad this is working! For more updates, you can check Flutter Memel's blog :)

Then, some news about the shows I had/should have had this month!
On the 12th, as planned, I was featured at Mantova Festival.

Then, the show I should have had yesterday night, Monday 19th, was shifted forward to Fwbruary 2nd!
I can invite up to 10 people to be in the audience. I will not be able to attend, myself, due to RL.
I'd be very glad if anyone with a blog or writing for any magazine or similar wanted to go see the show:) It's at 3PM SL time. Also live on slcn.tv:)

Love,
Clio

Heart of Love releases

Jacqueline bicolour line has just been added on my store walls.
These gowns are something I have been thinking of for quite some time.
I wanted to remake the Jacqueline in new colours, and loved the idea of having a double coloration on the dress.
I always procrastinated the release of these dresses until now.

Why is that?
I found out a young SL content creator, with a very severe disease, is in the bad need to get a heart transplant.
This was shocking news. I am not too close to this person in SL. I have very few people I talk to on a regular basis, cause I am just like that. I keep on my own unless others approach me themselves. But when I realised what was going on I thought "Wait a minute. I have the chance to help Shir from home, doing my usual work".

Luckily enough, some friends of Shir's started "Heart of Love", a charity event dedicated to raising money to pay for Shir's surgery.

I have participated to many fund raising campaigns over the last 2 years. All through SL.
Loads of content creators have been raising funds for big organisations like RFL, Make-A-Wish, National Breast Cancer Association and many more.
For once, I am faced with a charity event that is very precisely oriented towards a single goal: give Shir a new heart.

I couldn't just let it go. I am a little peanut, and the dresses I can make and sell to raise funds are little peanuts, too... but a load of peanuts can make a big difference, and I really hope this action to help Shir will succeed.

I am selling the dresses you see on top of this post for 500L$ each, and I am giving 100% of the proceeds to Heart of Love.

I also have a donation box in my store, to donate smaller (or bigger!) amounts, that will directly go to the fund raising avatar.

If you have any questions about Shir's conditions, you can find some more info here.

[NB: the Black & White version is also for sale at Sweethearts Jazz Club]

Floreale Gowns now in store

Quick bit of news before dipping myself in RL: Floreale gowns are now out in my main store!
These were the gowns I had released during the Stylista festival, to help raising funds for Make A Wish.

They are the first of many (hopefully) new releases I will have out this week... stay tuned!

New gifts in store:)

Hehe, some tiny news:
I have placed in my store a gift I sent out to group members for Christmas. It is now available for everyone who is in my group AND has my store in profile picks :) [here is a post about it]
The gifting script was made by PXL... and I have been using it lately... and will keep using it! lol.

Plus, still talking about new scripted things (always by PXL) I have out in my store a mailbox that will collect notecards and will send them directly to my email! Yes! It actually READS the notecard!

I love Hart Larsson for making that tool, lol... so everyone'd better start using it! ;)

Lots of love, and hoping to have many news soon!
