Paper Couture Packs Them In

Just like in real life, some fashion labels here in Second Life command attention. One such brand is Paper Couture and its drawing power was evident this night as Angie’s interview with Ava and Cora Lu attracted one of the largest audiences for the live taping. Like most Second Life designers, and maybe even more so for them, the Lu’s are usually holed up in their workrooms busy designing clothes. So when given the opportunity, fashion aficionados are eager for the advanage to listen to and perhaps meet the people behind the amazing fashion they love.

Arabella Steadham was present this night. She has a familiarity with the Paper Couture and was happy for the chance to hear from the designers behind it. ”The guest this week is one of the best, as she has quite a unique style and does not design for either the ‘kmart’ shopper or the ‘high fashion’ shopper. She seems very open and non pretentious, which is a lovely breath of fresh air. Its a pity there are some technical glitches, however I know this happens and we all need to be patient! Last night with Paisley crashed the sim twice, so it could be worse. I particularly like the idea of showing the designers early creations, as it gives us an idea of the journey she has travelled in her own development to get to where she is today.”

Amazingly, amongst the crowd was at least one person not familiar with Ava and Cora Lu. This is probably due to the fact that Sage Pexie is a designer herself and spends most of her time designing. It was just coincidence that brought her to the studio for the first time, “I was interested in the show, never heard of the Lu’s.” As for the show she found it “Very interesting…. It shows the versatility of designers in SL” Perhaps one day we’ll see her on the show.
