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.

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.”

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.”
