Hollywood Fashions is a great store
owned by the master mind Nightwalker Galaxy. When starting a business you need
to figure out your muse, you need to figure out your style and most importantly
your business target. I got to sit down with the creator of Hollywood Fashions,
and speak to him about his business and what it was like the first time he
opened his store.
Interview
with Nightwalker Galaxy
C.L.
- When you are starting your new business, you are always working on finding
your style. How did you start your store, and how did you find your style?
N.G. - Well when I started my store,
I wanted to do high fashion. I had my first store at my friends place and I found
my style from being a model in SL. I always
wanted high quality and high fashion.
C.L.
- Starting a store is always a busy thing, there is a lot of things you need to
get set up. What was it like when you started your store?
N.G. - It was tough because you
gotta’ know the layout you want, how you want it to look, and what accessories
you want in it.
C.L.
Inspiration plays a big role in a lot of creator’s work. You have to find your
muse and use it to your advantage. Where did you find your inspiration and what
is it?
N.G. - Well as I stated earlier my
inspiration was from me modeling and wearing designer clothes. So I guess my
inspiration would be high designer fashion.
C.L.
- There are a lot of ups and downs while starting of a business. Even if it's a
business that has been around for a while, there can be problems. Has there
been any challenges to the start of your business or even the business path
today?
N.G. - Yes, a lot of the economy
right now and also not many people use the stores in SL too much. A lot is done
with marketplace and advertising. So a new person starting a business who
doesn't have many lindens, really can't advertise or spend the big lindens to
get their name out there. My biggest challenge is keeping up with the style and
looks that people want. With my store being the more Hollywood look really
elegant dresses the people are a few.
C.L.
- Designers can get attached to some of their creations and find favorites.
With tons of creations it can be hard to not find a favorite. Have you ever had
a favorite creation, if so what are they?
N.G. - I would have to say I have
two favorites as of right now. The first is the frozen dress, and the second
would have to be the one I did for Relay
for Life's Christmas Expo.
C.L.
- Having the courage to start up a business in SL is a great thing. Being brave
enough to follow through and stick with it is an amazing thing. What would your
advice be that you wish you would have known when you started your store. What
would you like to say to all the aspiring designers out there?
N.G. - I would have to say, first
look at your competition and see what they are selling, the style people want
and what they are buying. Then just go from there, but never stop believing
that you yourself can be just like them.
When
starting a new store NightWalker knows just what to do. Have faith, believe you
are good enough, and work hard. Always find your muse when you are starting a
new business. Follow your dreams, and they can come true. – Coco Lierfatte
