Sleek and sweet!

It's finally out!
You saw a preview of it, and now I finally managed to hang it out on my walls:)
The 7 available colours are shown on the poster above. I added Wietse Cassini's resizer script in the skirts, so that you will be able to modify the attachments even without mod permissions (cause yeah, I am stuck on my no-mod policy...).

ALL the colours are 50% OFF until Monday!
Hurry up! They're at my MAIN STORE :)




Another bit of news is:
I am starting to recolour white and script with a resizer my old items.
I have quite a few items, so I will be upgrading a few boxes at a time... and I am adding a stripe of text under the vendors, saying "These gowns have a resize script inside..." (so you will know which groups of vendors were updated).
I have already done the Queue de Paon items, the Loredana Gown, and the Gwen gowns, and expect to have a few more done over the weekend. I will post news here, on my blog!

Love,
Clio

Coming this weekend:)

As I said: this weekend! Not YET!
But since I was taking pictures for the vendor-posters, I decided I'd share them with you a little earlier than the actual release.
I absolutely love this shot! I look adorable!

The gown is sleeky, sexy (deep split hehe), and fully hand drawn. It has a long train in the back and top&pants available on all layers.

7 colours will be available! It will be available HERE by Saturday :)

Hope you like it ;)

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!

RFL Clothing fair, photocontest and my "specials" :)

It's been running for a few days, already, but my RL has been so filled with loads of to-do's that I didn't even have the time to write about it...
What am I talking about?

Of course I am telling you about the RFL Clothing Fair!
For this 2009 edition they have 8 Sims filled with loads of designers' clothes. All to raise money towards a goal of 4,5 Millions L$, which is what last year's Fair managed to raise.

For more information you can visit RFL Clothing Fair blog, where they will be a better job than me at updating (sorry... RL kills me...).
Also be aware of the still running photo-contest!

Before I dive back into RL, let me share with you my 2 RFL specials, which are being sold with 100% of the funds going to RFL :) You can find them here.



Love,
Clio

YES! To Pink Shirt day!

So, I finally managed to get my hands on PC and uploaded a pink tank top I am having free in my store for a few days.
Why this shirt?
Because of the Pink Shirt day campaign, which is an RL campaign against bullying. The Pink Shirt day in RL is on the 25th of February, but it looks like it spread a bit later on SL.
Today there was a lot of noise about it on Plurk. Many posts were shared (Berry and many others...) originating from Lawless' post on Pink Shirt Day.

It is a bit late, but I think the message should be sent out, and it doesn't matter if SL's Pink Shirt day is going to be the 9th of March, as far as we speak up:)

Love,
Clio

Romance & Silk

Loads of softness, silk, and beauty.
Marguerite is the gown to look unique, sensual, and absolutely elegant.
I see it as a 2009 Jacqueline. A gown that can be worn in thousands of different occasions, from formal events, to special nights with a significant other:)

The skirt has a long train in the back. The gown has a bare back and a very high neck line.
100% hand drawn, as always;)

I have made top and pants available on all possible layers, to wear them with something over the gown or with tattoos underneath... well, whatever you need :)

There are 7 colours available. Each item is transferable and is a good way of gifting ;)

The Pink Gown and the Full Collection with all the colours boxed inside are 50% OFF till Monday 16th! Get them before the offer is over!
You can find them HERE.




Hope you like them:)

Love,
Clio

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:)
