Clothing for the more discerning customer.

Already Established as an African Home Decor Designer, Cococurious MacBain is now setting the scene with her new line of women’s clothing. Coco has been on Second Life now for two years and is taking the game by storm with her beautiful designs. Her store, named Gemini Concepts Clothing is described as affordable clothing for the mature SL woman. One of our newer models Dreamybrneyed Fairey interviewed the illustrious owner and this is what she found out about this up and coming designer.

DF: WHEN DID YOU PREMIERE YOUR FASHION LINE?
CM:The Summer of 2010

DF: WHO (IF ANYONE) INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A FASHION DESIGNER?
CM: A Good friend Woo Nitely inspired me with her stylish dresses and we were suppose to begin “Gemini Concepts” before she had to leave SL for RL demands.

DF: WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR STYLE OF FASHION?
CM: I create clothing that I would wear in RL and clothing that compliments a womans look without being too overly revealing. Most of the clothing I have seen drips SEX and leaves nothing to the imagination. Sometimes more rather then less can be just as Sexy .

DF: WHO ARE YOUR TARGET CLIENTS?
CM : As a “mature SL woman” I began targeting the mature older ladies of SL, however, women from all age groups, races and economic status have shopped at my store . Gemini Concepts is for all women.

DF: WHAT ARE YOUR ULTIMATE GOALS AS A DESIGNER?
CM:Quality at an Affordable Price. I enjoy doing Custom work. With an idea, I have found that I can let my imagination create something beautiful for my customers at their request which is a one of a kind design.

DF:WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR PRODUCT LINE GOING HERE ON SL?
CM:Presently working on offering my Clothing as an affiliate vendor in order to get my work out to many more places all over SL.

DF:ANY WORDS OF ADVICE FOR OTHER DESIGNERS ATTEMPTING TO DO WELL HERE IN SL?
CM:Go with what you feel. Create things that you would like to wear. There is nothing in my clothing line that I would not wear. Remember, just like in real life everyone is not going to like everything you create, but you will be surprised at the ppl that have the same taste and style that you do. Never stop learning. A critic is a good thing.

Coco is an approachable designer who takes her business here on sl seriously. Although she is just starting her line of clothing she is quickly becoming a known name within the designer community. Located on the Island of Lost Dreams, CocoCurious Macbain has certainly found her dream here on sl and is definitely an up and coming designer to watch.

Below Dreamy models some of the designs from CocoCurious MacBain.

My must have frock – Bluebell.

My must have frock for the season has to be ….”AMERICAN BEAUTY ” from Vitas Boudior . I have to say it is the most exquisite , beautiful dress I’ve ever seen on Second Life , if you wear this you can guarantee to stand out from the crowd .
The plunging neckline of the bodice has a texture like the finest silks which hug every curve of your body beautifully . The skirt is smothered with the most sumptuous cascading roses in the most opulent shades of red ,this dress looks as thought it has been made from tulle and silk and when u move the dress flows with you . It’s a dress that will take your breath away and is worth every penny , every women deserves to feel like a princess once in a while and with this I can guarantee you will do.

Santa Clause is coming to town.

Well it’s that time of the year again. People are dusting off the christmas decorations, the trees are being trimmed and we are spending copious amounts of money on things other just don’t need. But on the plus side comes lots of parties and celebrations, occasions to enjoy and times to remember. Sitting snuggly here in front of the fire with all my presents wrapped the cooking almost done except for the big day and my cards all made and sent. I sip on my glass of wine and wonder what I will be wearing to the office christmas do or to that party I am attending in the new year. With the onslaught of the festivities one needs to have that perfect number to wear for special occasions and so over the next week and a bit I will present to you some choices of great outfits both formal and more informal that would wonderful for these occasions. The first outfit is for the more formal of occasions and a great colour in time for winter. Please take a look and enjoy. Would love to hear if any of you have the perfect outfit for that New Years party.

Fashion Addict’s Paradise

As anyone who has read any of my previous posts on this blog, it’s obvious that I can be quite cautious with my meager amount of Lindens unless I see something that is amazingly high quality and something I just can’t live without. As a female I know that there are many women who say that on a daily basis every time they walk past a store but I probably only do such things twice a week, three times at the most! [Grins] So I was browsing around and searching for more top design stores as I like to do when I’m in a bored and lazy mood when I came across Le.Look, an amazing mall that has it all- menswear, women’s wear, dresses, skirts, casuals, accessories, jewelry, etc. Now I know what you may be thinking, how does this mall differ from the thousands of malls that litter the grid with their many vendors that populate it? Well this is a model and fashion addict’s paradise and I don’t say that lightly! It had everything that one might need to update their wardrobe with some new stylish choice pieces that would just put your fashion senses over the edge.

When I teleported into the mall I was stunned with the entire look of the mall. It was chic, modern, clean, stylish and everything that I could wish for in a shopping center. The style, layout, and detail made me want to stay there upon hours and hours just looking at the stores, not the clothes mind you but the stores alone! But after I picked my tongue off the ground and rolled it back into my mouth I set out to take a look at this magical new world and what all that it had to offer and I’m so glad I wasn’t disappointed. Store after store held the names of Second Life’s top designers such as [LeeZu!], Vista Animations (model poses galore), LeLutka, Aoharu, Calypso Giano, :ROZOREGALIA:, and so much more. This is a place of utter temptation for those that are really in need of rehab. [Laughs] It’s also not for those that are tight with their budget but I believe there is always a time to let loose, just don’t let it put you in the hole! I will admit that I left with arms laden with bags upon bags of purchases from my “window shopping” ventures and while I may regret it later, instant gratification can be wonderful! It’s a place I recommend to both men and women to check out and enjoy. Be sure to take a friend along to be the voice of reason when you get the urge to make that wallet/purse cry! [Laughs]

ClothesMinded Jewelry Contest

The day is just filled with upcoming contests for models in SL and I knew I just had to share them with you all. I hope that whoever enters that they have the best of luck! I came across this competition in the Starwalkers groups- a group I would recommend all models join for updates in the fashion industry.

“To celebrate our delightful collaboration with some of the most wonderful designers of Second Life and the opening of our new Boulevard at Malhaven.

We are holding a monthly model award – this month we are showcasing the jewelry with a grand prize of L$ 5,000 or a shopping spree from the below mentioned ranges to the value of L$ 7,500.

The finalist’s picture will be displayed in the photo gallery located at our Boulevard. The winner will have the opportunity if she chooses to work as a ClothesMinded model in the mall and have the tag of ClothesMinded Top Model.

He/she will be chosen by a panel of judges, which will include reigning title holders carefully handpicked from the elite of the modeling world.
