Do you know your neats from
your knife-pleats; your lettuce hems from your unitards; and your vents from
your yokes? Katie does ….
Who’s Katie? She is an emerging
SL fashion designer and her brand is AK Designs, that’s who Katie is.
She is from the UK and works as a charitable volunteer for
Oxfam. She came to SL after she watched
a trailer for Second Life. It
immediately piqued her interest and she signed on. She says it has given h the outlet she needed
to express her talents, she said “I’m very creative in real life and love art
and clothing design.”
I asked her how she got into fashion in SL and she replied “Well
I was thinking of trying my hand at something new and I was always sketching
dresses in real life so I decided to teach myself how to texture clothing in
Second Life and AK Designs was born.”
Her design style is very elegant and formal and she loves to
experiment with sequins and more classical looks.
