Tonight on Fabulous Fashion: Content Creation Theft
Fabulous Fashion with Angie Mornington on Treet TV
Monday, September 28th at 6pm SLT (PDT)
This week on a special Fabulous Fashion will be a panel discussion with some very special guests to discuss Content Theft in SL. Content Theft is a major issue in SL, it happens everyday and it leaves a lot of content creators feeling angry and fustrated with little or no protection. Some of YOUR favorite designers can tell you that they have been a victim of content theft by thieves who got away without punishment.
You may not know it, but lots of time and effort goes into creating the things that you wear and buy in SL, and right now content creators are struggling to combat a problem that is rampant and widespread. Please watch this show, it is important that you learn what is going on with content theft in SL and how content creators are suffering from acts of rampant theft. This affects us all, and is threatening to bring SL to an economic and creative halt if something is not done!
This week will be a panel discussion with guests that have all been affected by content theft:
~~GUEST: Rebel Hope of Rebel Hope Designs
A few days ago Rebel Hope and her partner RH Engel recently had THREE ENTIRE sims copied by a brazen thief who gave years of their hard work away for free.

Fans Get a Look Inside AVENUE
The clothing designs, fashion shows and publication are the visible parts of the fashion industry, and often the hard work behind the scenes goes without notice or much thought. Fabulous Fashion offers viewers the chance to hear about the efforts of people involved in all aspects of this industry. Most often we get to meet designers and hear about their work and inspirations, but there are many other facets of a successful brand. This night the fans of Fabulous Fashion were treated to an interview with Rusch Raymaker, Founder & CEO of AVENUE Inc., and Founder & Designer of Stylissimo, and Jesika Contepomi, Chief Marketing Officer of AVENUE Inc. and PR Director of Stylissimo, to give some insight into what goes on inside the various parts of a successful, multi-faceted fashion business.
( Arabella Robonaught )
Opportunities to hear about the work that goes into the promotion of a brand are rare for people outside the industry, but Fabulous Fashion looks to cover the gamut for its fans, and it is appreciated. Arabella Robonaught summed it up nicely: “… Angie and Paisley are like the Oprah’s of SL.” This night she learned some interesting facts about AVENUE and saw the Stylissimo Line for the first time, ”I’ve heard of it, I like what I see and would consider purchasing four of the outfits I see on stage.”
( Ludwig Prinz )
Even people whose line of work puts them in touch with the world of fashion are often too busy themselves to keep up on all that goes on, so Fabulous Fashion helps them keep up. Photographer Ludwig Prinz is well known throughout the fashion world, yet was surprised at what he heard. “Very interesting to hear about the history of AVENUE, and all the accomplishments, I wasn’t even aware how diversified they are. Pretty amazing to see the growth of Avenue which I have know for a long time. I think Angie was very engaging, but of course Avenue has such a big history, almost impossible to cover it all. Rusch and Jesika looked stylish as always, I am happy to have them in my friend’s list.”
( Helena Stringer )
This particular episode was interesting in that it showed how it can be used by others, including a full service agency such as AVENUE, as a promotional tool. It is a good way to get exposure for a new brand, such as Stylissimo, as the designs are shown on live models and discussed in some depth. And since fashion styles are extremely varied, especially in Second Life, it is important to present a brand to the widest possible audience. Some comment from Helena Stringer are an example, “For a first collection, I’d have to say it’s a good start. I can’t say it’s something I would personally go out and buy myself. I look for certain qualities in my fashion, in both real life and SL. The one that does call to me the most is on Sally. I love colour, and you don’t often see such unusual combinations, as the green and burnished colours. Sort of Fall like. For a designer that never created previously to do this collection, it is a good showing, for the fashion that it is. My taste or not.” Even when the quality of the work is recognized and appreciated, the style won’t be desired by everyone, which makes the job of promotion that much more important.

Taking a Glance at Fashion
Glance International Agency celebrated their one year anniversary with an ambitious day of fashion shows and Angie invited GIA CEO Patty Cortes on to share the story of her agency and some details about the event. Among the large and interested crowd were many fashion industry and media personalities. One of the big details of International Fashion day that helped to attract the audience was the sponsorship by PR Couture, a real life fashion public relations website. The bringing together of the real world fashion industry with Second Life is a topic oft discussed among the who’s who of SL fashion and media companies, so the intrigue is to be expected.
(Kat Masarko, Wurlitzer Seisenbacher and Potnia Theas)
Owner of Ora Trei, Potnia Theas was on hand and offered her view of things. “I’m so excited that PR Couture is covering IFD. I think that second life gives the opportunity to take real life fashion to the next level of creativity. It requires not only the creative ability, but also graphic design technique. I think it’s wonderful too that anyone is able to wear couture here for an affordable price as compared to real life. I think we will [see more RL fashion connections coming to SL]. Fashion is a major part of Second Life. I think more real life fashion media will begin to notice.”
(Laya Felisimo, Dimitri Shinn and Boe Cortes)
Like most nights, the interesting topics presented on Fabulous Fashion continues to attract new fans. Laya Felisimo attended her first show this night along Dimitri Shinn. Like most who see the show live, Laya was impressed. “Iit was great, very informative and fun. It was great hearing about Glance’s plans for their sim and also Vixie’s fashion spot was great, some great new pieces to look at too. It’s actually the first time Dimitri and myself have been to the show and seen it. I’m really impressed and will definately be back to check it out again, it’s more real live then seeing on TV. It really was such an awesome experince.”
