IN FASHION

I'm still trying to figure out how I wound up in the role of Diana Vreeland, but there it is. Next Tuesday at 7PM PDT, on the Southern shore of Zermatt, I'm hosting an in-world fashion expo (runway show included), to highlight the best design talent in Second Life, as nominated by our residents. (More detailed event description for residents here and here, where the show is still open to nominations.) Covering the in-world of high fashion is something NWN has been sorely negligent about, especially since it's such an important aspect of the community. (So much so that, as I mentioned on Wednesday, two of the five wealthiest residents are fashion mavens.) So I've set out to devote an entire week of New World Notes coverage to fashion, and thanks to a suggestion by resident Merwan Marker, my talent search now involves digging through a pile of screenshots, fussily arranging them in the snowy foothills of Zermatt, and wondering what the best way to fit fifteen supermodel avatars on my catwalk is supposed to be.
