Hey guys, I’m so sorry this post came a day late! This week is an unexpectedly busy week for me in RL so I gotta keep this post short. To be honest, this was a difficult look to put together, and I didn’t wanna go the fully romantic route with this beautiful gown from GLITTER for Penumbra Fashion Week.
Hence, Jackson and I conceptualized a romantic but tragic look for this photo shoot. The gown, with the pretty little flowers (which were colored one by one) was to be the romantic aspect of the shoot, while in terms of color the black represented a sadder and sombre tone. Immediately after putting on the gown I thought of the movie, Black Swan and was inspired by that when putting the rest of the look together.
The hair is from !SOUL, and you can purchase them in various shades. This one happens to be the Ginger tone, which I loved. In itself, the hairstyle is edgy and can be worn on many different occasions. This was actually a gift from a friend of mine in preparation for the Miss Virtual World auditions a few months ago, if you guys still remember. Unfortunately, I didn’t get in, but the process of the auditions was fun and it was a good learning experience for me. The crown comes from Cute Poison, and it was one of three Clockwork Crown gifts in different colors (the other two colors are silver and gold) as part of a storewide hunt.
The most important accessory that brought the look together and complemented the dress was the bloody blindfold group gift from Tabou Irresistible. I thought it created a story to a look that would otherwise be purely romantic, with the story of me as a blinded bird caged up in the stunning sim, Failure To Thrive. Tabou Irresistible also has a wall full of past group gifts behind the counter. So just join the group (it’s free) at the counter, pick up the current group gift, then head round to the wall behind the counter and collect the rest.
I still have one look to blog for you guys before the end of fashion week and I hope it will turn out the way I envision it to be. Can’t wait!
Love, Kai
