Second Life Fashion Models The Modavia Supermodels

I am back to blogging and decided to show my dear friend work, Thera Taurog. She isnt only a great design but her clothes are real art work. Inspired on the most well know painters her work are based in their paints. I cant stop to look at the flex of her skirts and the beautifull of the color, all well made in a perfect watercolor. Every detail made with care and atention. For 3 times at MODAVIA Top 50, here some of her work.

Poptart Lilliehook, Modavia Supermodel and VP of Fashion for the Modavia Fashion Directory has become the new Chief Editor for the directory.

Dea Mills, CEO for Modavia, had this to say, “It gives me great pleasure to announce, Ms. Poptart Lilliehook as Chief Editor of the Modavia Fashion Directory. Poptart will oversee the monthly development of the directory, as well as manage and coordinate directory staff, models, designers, and photographers. Pop is not only a well-respected working model, but also a seasoned businesswoman whom I regard highly. She has a critical eye and is never pleased when something is left undone or done without excellence. She is unafraid of challenge, works endless hours, and is willing to do whatever it takes to reach the goal. I am certain the Modavia Fashion Directory will grow in even greater quality and prominence under Pop’s leadership.”

The Modavia Fashion Directory is the first Second Life guide to the who’s who of top fashion design and features The Modavia Supermodels - the most popular virtual models in the world.

 When I first took up my role of V.P. Fashion at Modavia, Dea’s first job for me was to pull together a shortlist of the best couture designers in SL. She gave me about 8 names of her favourite designers to get started with to which I added my own favourites. Next stop was the other 35 supermodels, each contributing their own favourite designer’s name to my list. I then spent the next few months going to every couture show/event and happening I could to try to gather enough nominations from the amassed fashionistas to be able to come to an opinion on the best of the best in SL. I readily concede that, during those 2 months, I was guilty of more indiscrete right clicking on, and scrutinising of, other people’s garments than any other avatar in SL. If you got the feeling that someone was watching you at Miss Universe pageant or at a kMAD show or at the Ewing Fashion Awards, or the ever-popular BOSL events, or pretty much just walking down the street… you were probably right. My thinking was that people vote with their feet (and their Lindens) so if they’re wearing it to a special occassion, then they must like it. My column in the inaugral edition of the Modavia Fashion Directory reflected the final list I settled on after many happy hours of looking, talking, shopping and wearing. My personal take, liberally informed by fashionable colleagues, on the Top 50 Couture Designers in SL.

There are so many fine designers in SL though who we know we might have overlooked or who do one or two things very well but who don’t yet have the breadth of collection to make it into the current Top 50. Our continued quest to honour the designers of SL who bring the finest of creativity and beauty to our SL wardrobes will play out through the year as we seek to add to, and further refine, our existing list - building to a Top 100 of designers by our first anniversary edition of the directory next year.

To this end, my blog site here GOT POP? (htp://www.i.getmodavia.com) will call each month for suggestions in a given category of fashion, say formal shoes, or men’s casual. Suggestions will be judged by our Fashion Review Board made up of Modavia Supermodels and invited guest judges. This is not just another vacuous contest - we earnestly believe that our reviews will act as a buying guide for all SL residents - steering people towards those designers who are truly striving for excellence. Please write to me and tell me about your favourite designer - and in particular, any exciting new talent on the grid that we can showcase. So here goes… these brands got the top votes in my personal straw poll.

NEWS RELEASE - April 30th 2008
For Immediate Release

CONTACT: Jonny Tobias

SUMMARY: The Modavia designers brief is released for Secondlife’s Top 50 high fashion designers to view.

The immediate release of the Modavia fashion designers brief is designed to give the top fashion designers of Secondlife an insight into the forthcoming Modavia Fashion Directory. The brief is used to showcase exactly how the Directory is destined to become the bible on Secondlife fashion. A panel of Modavia staff members conferred with each other and formed a list of the top 50 Haute Couture designers in Secondlife and then invitations were sent out to each designer to invite them to take part in this historic First edition of the Directory.

“I love the fashion industry and I particularly care about the success and well-being of fashion models and designers” said Modavia CEO, Dea Mills.

This statement is the embodiment of the aim of the Directory, a showcase for the top deisgners and models within Secondlife to be featured in a quality publication. Once the initial Directory is released, subsequent editions featuring the latest designs from the top designers in Secondlife will be featured and each edition will feature the Modavia Supermodels wearing these latest releases featuring in the consistently classy, stylistic format as presented in the initial Designers brief. Each ad is carefully constructed specifically with the designers creations foremost in mind. The Modavia Supermodels themselves are featured in the brief allowing the deisgners to become aquainted with the models who will be wearing and displaying their product inside the Directory itself.

An opening launch party for the first brief is currently in the works and will be an event to remember. The Modavia name will soon be one of the most important advertising tools for Fashion in the Secondlife Universe. The Modavia entity is synonymous with quality, and only the very ‘Best of the best’ in Secondlife Fashion will be featured. The simple, photo-rich, and less-on-text, uniform layout of the Directory allows the fashions to really jump out at the reader. Thus, the Directory will help your designs stand out in the crowd. The design and layout will be constructed by the team at Element design to a stringent standard of ensuring the highest quality.

Also there is the newly unveiled Modavia website which is where designers can access the designers brief at http://GetModavia.com to work in conjunction with the Modavia Supermodels blogging page at http://i.GetModavia.com

Hi all.. let me introduce myself.. I am Barbarella Fuosing.. she of the white hair:-)

Let me tell you a little about myself.. I am from UK.. a small place called London;-) but no.. I do not have a cockney accent..

I have been in SL about 20 months. As well as being a model, I also host Slingo at a very popular island. I am also estate manager there.

I have done a fair few catwalk shows.. amongst them - Callie Cline, Rfyre, Zhao, Storm shoes, Insolence, Barerose.. too many to list here.

Currently I am a model for: Boulevard, Indyra’s Originals (some exciting things coming up there.. stay tuned to find out more), DreamGirls (I am also helping to run shows for DG), SWAN, Callie Cline and not forgetting of course.. the ultimate.. Modavia Supermodels.

I was Project Manager for Modavia for BiancaF skins events.. which I also modelled in. I was lucky enough to be selected to feature in Modavia’s Designer’s brief. I have also been selected to be one of the models to be photographed and featured in Indyra Originals brand new upcoming store. Some exciting stuff coming up - stay tuned to find out more over the coming weeks.

I adore modelling.. all aspects of it.. catwalk shows are always a challenge - but a challenge I love. Lag (unavoidable during catwalk shows) is a trial.. attachments not attaching.. TPing home and praying you get back for your next walk.. I love it.. it’s a challenge that I feed on:-)

Photographic modelling is always fun.. with rarely any lag problems and time to chat and laugh with the photographer.

So what do I do when not hosting or modelling.. or preparing for modelling? Why shopping of course! I love shopping.. I love to find the best SL has to offer.. be it clothes, skins, hair or things for my home.. oh and animals.. I have many at home from an elephant to aquatic animals like whales, sharks, dolphins etc.

If I am not busy shopping or hosting or modelling.. I love to PARTYYYYYYY

OK well I think I will leave it for there for today and report more next week.

I will attempt to upload a pic or two.. but I am blonde..

Ah getting all sorts of error messages when I try to upload a pic.. so will try to add that later, sorry:-(

Steampunk Apocalypse is a fun and funky new item from League.  If you’re looking to sail the sea, conquore worlds or just to know where you’re going this outfit delivers.  Fun neutral colors lets you add your own color styling choices.  It comes complete with layered vest options, corsett, prim skirt and glitch pants.  The fun Astrolabe arm belt helps you find direction and the leg belt is a nice accessory.  League is quickly becoming one of my favorites and I find myself going back often to see what’s new.  Give them a look…you’ll love it too.  League Mainstore @Steam Forge,FairChang Lost Isle(116, 226, 31)  Asta Boots by Zhao Shoes!

I have been given the privilege of writing a colum for the Modavia Fashion Directory.  The column will be termed “Ask Wynter”.  This column will give individuals a chance to ask questions regarding styling, fashion, and modeling.  If I do not know the answer, I will research, and ask the experts.  I have enjoyed researching my first few questions.  Once I find out the answers, I will answer the questions through my column.  Once the directory is released, I am planning on putting the questions and answers on my blog as well.  If you have any questions for the “Ask Wynter” column, please drop me a notecard inworld, ask here in my blog, or email me at WynterKidd@yahoo.com.  I look forward to helping you all in the near future!!!  Hugs, Wynter
