"Tied Up"
Fun with Fashion | Page 46
By Vixie Rayna
Androgyny was our theme for March, inspired by the upcoming Menswear Fashion Week 2012. All of AVENUE Magazine columnists were instructed to find their inner androgynous style. I tried to breakdown the idea into the basic theme of a tie.

Androgynous style is fast becoming a trend in Second Life® fashion with many designers opting to create unisex clothing. Men and women are increasingly becoming more creative in the way they shop by crossing over and branching out into stores opposite to their gender.

Fashion; it is never constant, always evolving and moving forward. And with the creation of Second Life®, there are always new fashions to see and buy for the avatar. The up-and-coming store “Entente” has been drawing lots of attention lately. With multiple designers: Baudouin Resident, Caelestinus Resident, Guarinot Resident, Meraud Resident, Nazaire Resident, and Benezet Resident, there is more than enough creativity to go around. I was able to speak with the group about their new brand and what they expect to accomplish within the SL® fashion industry.

TheNativeHasReturned (myvegancookbook.bolissima) may just have the most unique name in all of Second Life®. As the owner and designer of Adjunct, and this month’s AVENUE Magazine Featured Designer, he has made geek-style, chic! Take a look as Miaa Rebane and Vixie Rayna showcase how women can add their own spin on classic menswear with a twist!

Dura has become a household name. Its creative hair designs for men and women can be spotted on the runway, in the latest issues of magazines, and even on most Second Life® residents on a day-to-day basis. And while you may be quite familiar with the brand, many are not familiar with the humble creators behind the scenes. This month, AVENUE sits down with one half of the creative team, Chiaki Xue, to find out more about how she got her start in the world of hair, and a little more on the history of Dura.

Ponchos! Yep, that’s right you heard me. Long gone are the days of dressing as a cowboy in order to justify wearing a poncho. For some time now ponchos have been considered a fashion item for the ladies, but not anymore; if you're brave enough to venture out in one, here are a few styles to give you some ideas of how to "man up" a poncho for the winter. Come on lads, lets show the ladies that we can carry off a poncho just as well. So, next time you go shopping, why not "picka pucka poncho" and see what you can come up with.

I remember hearing about Keira Seerose and CHIC Management when the Black and Blue Fair started during the summer of last year. I loved the concept of it: raising awareness about mental illnesses while shopping. It was a creative concept that garnered a lot of attention. Now CHIC has grown into a business that gets bigger and bigger with each event. The events that Seerose and her team put on always amaze as each one gets better and better.

wanted to create something really glam but sort of edgy with a mix of prints and textures ...something that was also still really feminine and that was in a woodland/forest setting.... just saw a piece about Kamchatka and was an inch away from literally using a grizzly bear, but alas...
"Asian Influence"

Styled, Modeled and Photographed by Vixie Rayna
Spice up your fall with fashions from the Orient. This month’s Fun with Fashion is all about Asian influence, and the stunning Japan Kansai sim is the perfect backdrop to the styles. Take your own journey using obi belts, modern shapes, and Asian patterns.

It's been over a year since I last played with couture styles for AVENUE, so you can imagine the excitement when I started shopping around.

They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend. If that is true then for this girl, clothes and shoes are a close second. I have to admit that I have not always been a shoe girl in real life or in my Second Life®, but they are inching their way into my heart, heel by heel. For that I am thankful because there are some amazingly gorgeous shoes out there, and when I put them on my feet, I feel sexy from head to toe. Nardya Rousselot of the famous NX-Nardcotix brand creates beautiful high quality shoes as well as one-of-a-kind clothing.

Belleza means beauty in Spanish and it so accurately reflects the work of Tricky Boucher and his store, Belleza Skins. With over 36,000 group members currently, Belleza Skins is one of the most successful stores in Second Life®, and a good reason is because all of their skins are amazingly realistic and people love it. “Wonderful creations come in every collection, and their skins are fantastic,” says Honey Endrizzi, one of those 36,000 fans of Belleza.

This seasons “it” color is most certainly orange. It graced the Fall runways of Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Lanvin, Burberry and many more. Designers in Second Life® have added this deliciously edible hue to their own collections. Rich pumpkin hues to electric orange never looked so good. ~ Vixie Rayna
Fall fashion is in full stride…let's have a look.

Newcomer Luxianna Aeon of Coeur Noir found inspiration in the paintings of Rothko for her color-blocked outfit of the same name. Paired with the pink-tinted Tres Chic hat from Nardya Rousselot’s new collection, you will bring a serious “wow” when you walk in the room.

All Hallows' Eve is just around the corner, and I figured this would be the perfect opportunity for me to talk about one of my favorite costume stores. If you look around Second Life® there are many places where you can pick up complete costumes, or even put things together yourself using various items from different designers. But Surreal LeShelle has done such an amazing job of providing us ladies with some of the best costumes on the grid under one roof.
"Dressed To The Nines"

Vive9 is one of most well-known stores in Second Life® and it has been making fashionistas across the grid clamor for its items. With stylish clothes to match every season and shoes to die for, it’s not much of a surprise. Amazing details, rich textures, and bold styles help make this brand stand out from everyone else. This month, I spoke with Sanya Bilavio, the owner of Vive9 about her in-world life and her famous store.

I first came to Second Life® through a friend in 2006, and I quickly became addicted to the many fascinating sims, builds, and creations that surround the grid. For the first couple of years, I made friends, went to clubs, and explored sims; however, my favorite part of Second Life was seeing what kind of clothes I could find, actually put on together, and what combinations of looks I was able to create using items from various designers. After all, at that time, there was not an infinite number of attachment options, tattoo layers, alpha layers, and let's be honest, not a whole lot of men's clothes to choose from that had any quality to them at all. This love of fashion led me, after much deliberation, to join the modeling world of Second Life.

When I think of accessorizing myself, there are a number of stores that pop into my head as some of my favorites: Paper Couture, Zaara, Mandala, Earthstones, Lucas Lameth, Glow Studio, Rozoregalia and so many more. Today I wanted to highlight four jewelers that do an exquisite job by creating some of the most stunning accessories on the grid.

This year, a bristle of wind crosses the plains bringing with it a new season of fashion. Much of the designs in 2011 have found their inspirations in safari/ethnic textures, earth tones, and the simplicity of nature. Moving into fall, we will find many designers continuing to embrace their inner nature muse. Join me on my journey to a deserted western town to showcase the upcoming trends of the season.
"Goodbye Summer"

It's time to leave behind the warm sunny beaches and tropical summers as we transition into a new season. Yes, Fall is just around the corner again and it’s time to say goodbye to summer. However, in saying that, you don’t have to pack away your entire summer outfits and t-shirts, simply just double up on the shirts, add on the jacket layers and accessorize with scarves and hats to keep in season.

When I think of accessorizing myself, there are a number of stores that pop into my head as some of my favorites: Paper Couture, Zaara, Mandala, Earthstones, Lucas Lameth, Glow Studio, Rozoregalia and so many more. Today I wanted to highlight four jewelers that do an exquisite job by creating some of the most stunning accessories on the grid.

This year, a bristle of wind crosses the plains bringing with it a new season of fashion. Much of the designs in 2011 have found their inspirations in safari/ethnic textures, earth tones, and the simplicity of nature. Moving into fall, we will find many designers continuing to embrace their inner nature muse. Join me on my journey to a deserted western town to showcase the upcoming trends of the season.

It's time to leave behind the warm sunny beaches and tropical summers as we transition into a new season. Yes, Fall is just around the corner again and it’s time to say goodbye to summer. However, in saying that, you don’t have to pack away your entire summer outfits and t-shirts, simply just double up on the shirts, add on the jacket layers and accessorize with scarves and hats to keep in season.

It's no secret that my first ever real "job" in Second Life® was at Club Habibi, a Middle Eastern club that is still around. Club Habibi opened its doors in June of 2007, when I was barely a month old, and I worked there as a belly dancer and hostess for about five months. I loved that job because it was so much fun; I got to meet interesting people and even picked up some sweet Arabic words from the people that visited. But my most favorite thing about that job was the uniform. I had to wear silks: beautiful, colorful and oh-so-sexy.

Hair Fair is one of my favorite times of the year in Second Life®; it makes me absolutely giddy with excitement. Each year, I wait patiently in anticipation to see what our most talented content creators will bring. This year was phenomenal, and my inventory is groaning from all of the new hair purchases. The hairs that really stood out were the more avant-garde and couture styles. My column for August showcases my four favorites.

As summer comes to a close - although we're still feeling the scorch of the heat - the fall fashion festivities are truly just around the corner. AVENUE has no shortage of amazing style talent, let us celebrate together in this season's hottest trends and styles.
"SummerTime"
Vignettes | Page 54
Written, Styled, Modeled & Photographed by Strawberry Singh
It's the middle of summer, and being the total beach girl that I am, I figured the best way to celebrate summer in Second Life® was to visit some of the most famous beaches on the grid. So, I asked my friends on Plurk what their favorites are, and I got a long list of names. I decided to feature the following four because I felt each of them had its own charm.
"Chic Blue Hue"
Fun with Fashion | Page 82
Written, Styled, Modeled & Photographed by Vixie Rayna
Chic Management celebrated their one year anniversary in style with designers across the grid creating exclusives for the event. Each designer created an item in the “chic” theme. This month’s column features looks from the event.
"Peristyle"
Trendspotting | Page 92
Written, Styled, Modeled & Photographed by Brie Wonder
These pieces were inspired by recent real life Resort collections, with lots of minimalism, and menswear inspired pieces. I made a “mini collection” of my own using some of my favorite pieces, and really aimed to make the looks cohesive.
"Style for Hunters"
Edge of Style | Page 102
Written, Styled, Modeled & Photographed by Boe Cortes
After a bit of a Second Life® break, I found myself needing to get back into the swing of things again. As a big fan of hunts, what better way to catch up on all the new stores and the latest releases than by participating in all the fabulous hunts like MENStuff, Zombiepopcorn and the many others SL™ has to offer.
"Nardcotix"
GOLden Shopping | Page 120
Written, Styled and Modeled by Vixie Rayna & Photography by Annough Lykin
GOLden Shopping is proud to count Nardya Rousselot of Nardcotix as one of our talented tenants. She is making her mark on summer 2011 with an amazing new collection of shoes. There are styles for every mood and the colors to match. You can be anything from a sexy vixen to an avant-garde diva in a single, quick change. This month's column shares the bright colors and adventurous styles of her latest releases.

June 2011 is Second Life®'s 8th birthday. Linden Lab® has quite a bit planned for this event. All the festivities start on June 20th, and will run through June 26th. The theme for this year is “Magic of Second Life,” and I am sure there will be lots of partying involved. I thought I would add to the festivities by creating some party looks to wear to the various events. While I was in a partying/clubbing mood, I figured I would go shoot at some of SL™'s fabulous clubs. Let's start dancing!

When thinking about fashion, most people are reminded of the clothes first, but there are so many different aspects that go along with those…hats, purses, shoes, jewelry, etc. If you have the right pieces to pair with your outfit, they can be used to help define it and make it stand out. Donna Flora designer, Squinternet Larnia has been bringing to life creations which do that and more.

Imagine yourself on a new planet, far off the known galaxy, where humans and other beings have gathered together to recreate a new kind of Earth: the Farstar New Earth. This is a posthuman society, the home of Cybersurrealism and Asphyxia (Reborn) beings.
