A
silk drape tied in a knot, feathers with flowers stuck to the head dress, a
woollen collar or perhaps a simple t-shirt and rugged jeans. What’s your style?
I
interviewed a few random people asking them about their personal style
statement, their favorite shopping destinations and their pick on colors for
the upcoming season, Autumn.
With me, you will learn about Caoimhe Lionheart,
Molly Legendoll, Strawberry Singh and Tadeu Gartner.

Debby Sharma: How
would you define your personal style? Does it change with the seasons?
Caoimhe
Lionheart: I would have to say my personal style is a tad bit
left of centre. I don’t “fit” into any certain style. I am too gawky and
awkward to be considered elegant, nor am I classic, casual, or girl next door.
Heck, I’ve even been known to model menswear a time or two... or three. I would
have to say I have an offbeat whimsical style. Dare I say eccentric? When I
post a blog for a designer I am at the whims of the designer as their clothes
are what should be centre-stage and I am just a mannequin, but if you look at
the personally styled blog pics that give me more freedom to play, I always try
to put a more artistic flair to the looks. I don’t really style for the
seasons, I would say I am more of a mood stylist. I style by my mood.
Debby Sharma: How
often do you go shopping for your clothes and accessories?
Caoimhe
Lionheart: Actually, believe it or not, I don’t
go out shopping often at all. Like in RL I do a lot of “online” shopping, sort
of catalogue shopping the marketplace. Often
designers will give me things, which is quite enjoyable. And I imagine I will
have to wander out a bit more now that I’ve left most of my blog groups, but
for now I hop here or there if I have to but otherwise I just dig into my
inventory and play with what’s there. I trek out into the world on occasion
when I am trying to find the perfect “something” that an outfit is lacking, but
that’s about it. I am sooooOOooo boring in reality.
Debby Sharma: Can you
give me a rundown of your current outfit including shoes?
Caoimhe
Lionheart: I am really weird. Sometimes when I
style something it takes me a few days to pull the entire look together. It’s
one of the reasons I recently made the decision to blog less than my typical
every day upload. Lately when I was blogging daily I was no longer enjoying it,
or even liking the pictures very much because I wasn’t given the chance to
style them in a “Cao-like” way. I will still have to blog daily for events,
like the upcoming “Rock Your Rack” event (starts September1st!) benefitting
Breast Cancer Awareness, but for the most part, I can be in any state of
undress, or dress at any given moment. Heck, I’ve even been known to shop
shoo-less and wearing knickers a time or two, it’s actually kind of expected of
me and I’d sure hate to disappoint anyone! So to answer your question, right
now I am wearing “Ison’s” gold embellished divine bustier with Slink feet and
hands, [Mandala] ears, and shoo-less. Though, to tell a little secret on
myself, unless someone gives me shoos to blog I never wear them. I know! So
incredibly ungirl-like! My avatar is so much like me; we are kindred’s, she and
I. And I like to feel my walk through life, learning my correct path by the
feel of it underfoot and my Lil Cao is much the same way. It’s brought us from
there to here, so it must be okay.
Style card other than the items

Tuty's, Adorable
Hat: Bliss

Stole:
[LWL], Vesuvias, (part of)
Top:

Debby Sharma: Where do
you like to shop?
Caoimhe
Lionheart: I have so many favorite designers I wouldn’t dare make a list just in case one momentarily slips my
mind. I can be a forgetful little chit like that. I walk around my real life
writing little Cao notes all the time but still sometimes things slip by me.
But I will tell you this; I am madly in love with shape. If you see a designer
who creates items that appear 3 dimensional with unusual shapes, quirky-ness or
outlandishly different, I’m there! The hauter, the better as couture fits my
personality to a “T”. It is something I feel deep in my soul, I mean, I can
wear off the rack in real life, why shouldn’t I expect more than prêt-à-porter
in my Second Life?
Debby Sharma: With
autumn fast approaching what colors and trends do you think will be most
popular?
Caoimhe
Lionheart: If the designers follow the actual real world pantone
color trends we should be seeing colors in pastels like a peachy nude,
lavenders and lilacs, softer colors will be big, as well at the jewel tones,
like emerald, cranberry and hot pinks. Gone is the drab standard red and blacks
of winter to be replaced with cerulean, fuchsia and scrumptious tangerines.
From what I have researched, real world fashion is showing a lot of boxier
styles, silks, leathers, feathers, and the always romantic laces, so I do hope
Second Life will follow suit. I simply love designs with a soft see-thru lace
offering a peek of skin here or there.

Debby Sharma: How
would you define your personal style? Does it change with the seasons?
Molly Legendol: As I like to be unique and different I
can't limit myself, saying that my style is "THIS". Because I like to
mix things that might not go together and turn them into a whole new concept. Loose
and tight, something cute with a fetish accessories or a very sexy dress with
funny hair and a baby face skins. Therefore my style does not change according
to seasons but the gifts have been given. I don't follow recent trends per se. My
motto is "find your own style, be the trend!"
Debby Sharma: How
often do you go shopping for your clothes and accessories?
Molly Legendol: As I mentioned, not being the crazy
followers of new trends, Mostly I try to follow, gift hunts, group gifts, freebies
with quality etc. to combine them. Results are really nice and I'd like to
share them in my blog to show my friends what can be done without spending any
money. If you don’t have a credit card, also you can looking nice in sl.

Debby Sharma: Where do
you like to shop?
Molly Legendol: I visit all stores and some of them
display very nice gifts. Of course I have my favourites as well which are
highly popular. Interestingly those stores do not display gifts as they are
already popular and when they do, they only display the ones that are not good
quality. this should not be only an ad but also encouragement for the future
customers and appreciation for the loyal ones. I believe all big brands must
stop being stingy and put gifts. with all due respect I will refuse to give
names of the brands which refrain from gifts but there are so many nice
examples to follow such as Reign, Chary, Analog Dog, Soonsiki, Moon, N-core, Pr!tty,
PANIK, Cubic Cherry Kre-ations etc., when they give gifts they do not
compromise the quality and I would like the thank them for myself and on behalf
of their members.
Debby Sharma: With
autumn fast approaching what colors and trends do you think will be most
popular?
Molly Legendol: Short dresses, long boots and wide
collar will take ladies to the fashion of 60's. For the colour as usual we will
not give up the flare of the metallic gold. other than this military green and
I am waiting to see the pastel colours with furs and clothes with feathers.
Accessories, unlike we get use to see on our neck and arms, strikingly will be
used on the face, hair and hats with much larger sizes.

Debby Sharma: How
would you define your personal style? Does it change with the seasons?
Strawberry
Singh: In SL, I don't really have a particular style and it doesn't change that
often within the seasons. In winter I may wear more layers, that's about it,
but style stays similar. I tend to lean towards an ethnic style if anything. In
the real world, I am usually a very casual, tanks, yoga pants, denim, sneakers
and flats kind of girl.
Debby Sharma: How
often do you go shopping for your clothes and accessories?
Strawberry
Singh: As often as I get the chance, few times a week
for sure. If there is a big event, I try to go there as well. I am a bit
addicted to skins so I actually demo and buy skins a lot, even if I tend to not
wear them more than once.
Debby Sharma: Can you
give me a rundown of your current outfit including shoes?
Strawberry
Singh: A friend actually took me sailing this weekend
in SL so I'm just wearing a tank, jeans and sneakers. I have no idea what
people wear when they go sailing, *laughs. I did wear a life jacket that he
gave me, but I am not wearing it in the picture. I've attached a quick snapshot
of what I'm wearing.

Debby Sharma: Where do
you like to shop?

Singh: I love to shop the big fairs like skin fair, hair fair and pose fair.
Other than that, I have too many favorite stores to name.
Debby Sharma: With
autumn fast approaching what colors and trends do you think will be most
popular?
Strawberry
Singh: I never know what's popular, but I myself tend to gravitate earthy
tones, not only in autumn though. I love earthy tones throughout the year. I
also love white.

Debby Sharma: How
would you define your personal style? Does it change with the seasons?
Tadeu
Gartner: I am
a chameleon in fashion. And I cannot define myself in a style and yeah, my
personality speaks louder - walking in different styles, but with unique
essence. According to each season, I will research what
the current fashion trends and of course, styling to make it with my face.
Debby Sharma: How
often do you go shopping for your clothes and accessories?
Tadeu
Gartner: Every minute (laughs). I am a compulsive buy
new item, for updates each time according to each situation in which I find
myself.

give me a rundown of your current outfit including shoes?

Debby Sharma: Where do

Tadeu
Gartner: Everywhere (cannot define a specific place
because, as I mentioned in the first question, *laughs) I'm a chameleon! ;^)
Debby Sharma: With
autumn fast approaching what colors and trends do you think will be most
popular?
Tadeu Gartner: I believe that red is a very strong color for next season! And I
bet this is a very good time for him to jump in the windows of the Virtual
Fashion Industry.
I have seen in real life who has worked with many brands clothes
more square cuts and finished with woven leather. E is proportional to what
this season is really a legendary meeting place for diversity in styles.
