Dear Friends -

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce a change in our event line-up tomorrow. The post-show party with DJ Kromus was originally scheduled to be held in Bellagio’s club caramel. The party will now be held at the show venue immediately following the show.

If you have not yet heard the news, Bellagio will be leaving Second Life. This beautiful and amazing build has been the backdrop for many notable events in the recent months and it’s presence will surely be missed. Our thoughts are will all of the Bellagio management and staff as we know they must be devastated by MGM’s decision.

Modavia is presently working toward partnership with an RL entertainment brand to further ensure the best opportunities for our family of models, designers, photographers, guests, and staff.

Sincerely,

Dea Mills and the entire Modavia Staff

(Revised invitation is below)

Modavia Presents “An Italian Affair - The Love Affair with Fashion”

Top Italian Designer Ziamela Loon of Jador Showcases her Fabulous Fashions in a Stunning and Unforgettable Show

Second Life….June 10, 2008…. Modavia will present “An Italian Affair - The Love Affair with Fashion” on Saturday, June 14th at 3 pm SLT. The show will be held in an amazing venue specifically built and created to reflect the timeless beauty of Italy and to showcase the amazing work of Jador designer Ziamela Loon.

Modavia’s Senior Producer Fortunate Szondi has combined a beautiful build, amazing audio, one of SL’s top announcers and of course the top Modavia SuperModels and Models in order to present the 36 designs that will be shown on Saturday. Ziamela delivered the designs last week and as Fortunate began to unpack the boxes an abundance of “oohs” and “ahhs” could be heard. When asked about the designs Fortunate commented “I was completely amazed at both the number of designs provided as well as the diversity of Ziamel’s designs. The designs are classic, yet modern - beautiful and stunning and I am honored to be working with such a talented designer.”

Modavia chose to center the theme of the show around Italy, which is Ziamela’s home. The influence of the fashion mecca of Milan is evident in Ziamela’s designs. Just like the famous Italian city, the designs are modern and edgy while still maintaining a classic beauty and style that is so difficult for many designers to capture. In order to highlight these influences a custom set was created for the show. “Just when I think I’ve seen the most amazing builds and backdrops available, something new comes along and amazes me. It’s the beauty of Second Life! We can create the exact environment to highlight the beauty of the designs and textures. From landscaping to lighting, from oceans to mountains - whatever is needed to provide the perfect setting is available! I am again amazed by the work of my team in creating a setting that will amaze the audience and add to the stunning presentation of the Jador designs” were the feelings expressed by Modavia CEO, Dea Mills.

A signature of Modavia’s shows is the unusual and fresh approach. An approach that engages guests and dramatizes the genius of the designers. Although it may happen one day, Modavia has yet to produce a show with a traditional catwalk, choosing instead to allow the models and the audience to interact on a more intimate level. This allows the guests to feel as though they are a part of the production and also offers the ability to see the remarkable detailing in the featured designs. In addition to the more intimate show, guests will also be able to get up-close and personal with a few of the Modavia Models as they model the designs at the after party at Bellagio Second Life’s amazing club caramel.

As many know, the Bellagio hotel was inspired by the Lake Como resort of Bellagio in Italy so it was the natural choice for a party inspired by an Italian designer. The party will feature selected Modavia Models and SuperModels wearing a few of the featured designs as well as the phenomenal DJ Kromus to fuel your listening and dancing pleasure! The featured designs will be available for purchase as always and although we aren’t certain rumors of an absolutely fabulous gift bag have been circulating.

If you haven’t seen it yet click on over to the SL Herald where Modavia’s Knockout Fashion Show at the Bellagio has made front page news!

When you read this article please keep in mind what the SL Herald is known for. This is a quote taken from their website “the Herald is often called a muckraking tabloid or worse, but its loyal readers (numbering several thousand per day) love — and often love to hate — the unique service it provides: to take a good, close, often snarky look at the online worlds that are becoming a more and more important part of everyone’s offline lives.”
