The winner, a pretty Scottish girl with dramatic elegance, is (surprise!) a pure product of the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR competition. It is thanks to her first selection in the 2022 finale that she received a gift certificate from L'Amour University of Fashion and learned the basics of virtual modeling. From there, it only took her a few years to climb to the top step of the podium!

Vanessa distinguished herself interpreting the legendary style of fashion icon Coco Chanel. Using LUXE Paris clothing and Zuri jewelry as required by the competition, she added a bolero that she created herself!

"I love everything that is creative" confided this top model who is also a builder and photographer in Second Life.

"And I would love to participate in the creation of LUXE Paris fashion."

A wish that could well come true because LUXE Paris has a reputation for opening its doors wide for its ambassadors.

TwinkieBean & WyattFrost,

First and second runners up!

The first runner-up, TwinkieBean, made a name for herself by paying tribute to Zuri Rayna, the official jeweler of the LOOK of the YEAR competition.

"Everyone says Zuri has the charm and sophistication of a modern princess," Twinkie explained. "So I went for a regal, rich and decadent style!"

In a twist, WyattFrost, the only male to make it to the finals of this unisex competition, came in third place ahead of all the spectacular female beauties. Wyatt was honoring the unforgettable style of Frolic Mills, the SL fashion giant who was taken by cancer last fall. 

"I didn't have the chance to know Frolic personally but I know from speaking to others that he will be greatly missed" Wyatt said, featuring Frolic's legendary white hair and celebrity glasses.

"But his legacy, the solid and prolific roots of SL fashion industry, lives on in what we do today and what we create for the future.”

We must also take our hats off to all the finalists because their talent combined with their passion gave rise to a great fashion moment! Ame Morningstar, Aria Absinthe, Kitty Darkrage, EleanorJean, Girasolmx, Jude Tatham, Keira Rhapsody and Tilly Opaline were all magnificent. They presented LUXE Paris fashion with respect for the brand but also with innovative and impactful creativity.

An impressive production

It is in an impressive production by One On One agency that the eleven LOOK of the YEAR finalists walked before the jury for the selection of the new LUXE Paris ambassador. 

The catwalk, created by Lorez Aichi, was extraordinarily elegant, carved in white and gold marble and decorated with a Hayabusa garden by Mitsuko Kitory. The whole thing was a real showcase for the finalists and for LUXE Paris and Zuri fashion.

Now in its ninth year, the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR competition has established itself as one of SL’s most prestigious fashion competitions largely due to its impressive and multifaceted jury, which ensures an open mind and a fair decision. The 16 LOOK of the YEAR judges select both semi-finalists and grand finalists, overseeing the competition from start to finish.

Composing the LOOK of the YEAR jury: Adonis Lubomir, owner of Swank Events and the famous groups Womenstuff and Menstuff, Avalon Chrome, LOOK of the YEAR 2020 and now designer at LUXE Paris, Blueyes Bonetto, owner of the Latin Quarter, sim host of the finale, and music director of LOOK of the YEAR events, Chemak Kamala, owner/editor of SL Confidencial, the Spanish community magazine, Dante Lisa, owner of Miss & Mister Elegance, Diana Balhaus, co-owner of One On One Agency, producer of LOOK of the YEAR events, Hunipet Delicioso, outgoing ambassador of LUXE Paris, Hyaecinte, LUXE Paris Communications director, Lanai Jarrico, owner/editor of SLEnquirer.com, Second Life’s longest-running news source, Lali Arbizu, co-Owner of One On One Agency and LOOK of the YEAR Finalists' Director, Mitsuko Kitory, owner/designer of Hayabusa, SL’s most beautiful plants, and creator of the luscious garden surrounding the runway, Naar Absinthe, LOOK of the YEAR 2017, owner of In-Nova Academy, mentor with a formidable reputation, Ponchituti Boucher, co-owner of One On One Agency, LOOK of the YEAR Executive Producer and living fashion legend, and the jewels designer Zuri Rayna, another gem shining on the fashion stars’ billboard.

TEN WOMEN FINALISTS AND ONE BRAVE MAN!
Ten women and one man! Indeed, the LOOK of the YEAR 2024 competition was, for the first time, open to men. If they seemed a little destabilized by the unisex formula of the competition, one brave man still managed to reach the final, among all these spectacular female beauties.

"They all gave a short speech on their vision of the ambassador role and the jury also had the opportunity to question them."

AN IMPOSING JURY FOR A FAIR DECISION
Sixteen judges make up the LOOK of the YEAR jury and it is the same jury that selects the semi-finalists, finalists and winners.

"We wanted an imposing jury that was present throughout the competition in order to promote a fair decision," emphasizes Mika Palmyra.

The LOOK of the YEAR jury is also diverse with members who come from different creative backgrounds such as media, music, fashion and design in general: Adonis Lubomir, Owner of Swank Events and the famous groups Womenstuff and Menstuff, Avalon Chrome, LOOK of the YEAR 2020 and now designer at LUXE Paris, Blueyes Bonetto, Music Director of LOOK of the YEAR events, Chemak Kamala, Owner/editor of the Spanish community magazine SL Confidencial, Dante Lisa, Owner of Miss & Mister Elegance and CEO Elégance Model Agency, Diana Balhaus, Co-owner of One On One Agency, producer of LOOK of the YEAR events, Hunipet Delicioso, current LUXE Paris ambassador and LOOK of the YEAR crown holder, Hyacinte, LUXE Paris Communications Director, Lanai Jarrico, Owner/Editor of Second Life’s longest-running news source The SL Enquirer, Lali Arbizu, Co-Owner of One On One Agency and LOOK of the YEAR Finalists Coordinator, Mitsuko Kytori, Owner/Designer of Hayabusa Design, SL’s most beautiful plants, Naar Absinthe, LOOK of the YEAR 2017 and Owner of In-Nova Academy, Ponchituti Boucher, Co-Owner of One On One Agency and LOOK of the YEAR Executive Producer, and Zuri Rayna, LOOK of the YEAR’s official jeweler.

A MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE IN A GRANDIOSE SETTING

Beyond the competition and the bouquet of emotions that goes with it, LUXE Paris will also offer us a magnificent fashion show in a sumptuous setting created by Lorez Aichi and enhanced by the lush nature of Hayabusa Design.

In the background, five fashion icons who have particularly inspired LUXE Paris during its twelve years of existence: Jade Pono, a beautiful and sparkling Japanese lady, winner of LOOK of the YEAR 2022, taken by cancer last winter, the living legend Ponchituti Boucher, nicknamed "The Mother of all Models" because she discovered so many runway stars, the fabulous Zuri Rayna, jewelry designer in Second Life since 2017 and official jeweler of the competition, the extraordinary Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel who still influences fashion half a century after her death, and the unforgettable Frolic Mills, great pioneer of the SL fashion industry, magnificent character, also sadly gone.

The finalists will interpret the fashion style of these icons with LUXE Paris clothes and Zuri jewels. The judges will evaluate the finalists on their presence on stage, the quality of their look, their way of presenting LUXE Paris fashion and their ability to respond to a specific fashion order, since the icons were assigned to the finalists randomly. The performance of the finalists at the Judges Brunch will also be taken into account to evaluate their communication skills. LUXE Paris is looking for an ambassador after all!

You are expected Sunday, September 8 at 9:30 AM SLT, for a morning of beautiful and thrilling fashion! Your limo will be waiting for you at www.luxeparis.online

LOOK of the YEAR A BRUNCH at LUXE Paris CASTLE

It was with joy, intelligence and humor that the 2024 finalists of the LOOK of the YEAR competition officially presented themselves, during the traditional Judges' Brunch, last month, in the Hayabusa gardens of the LUXE Paris castle.

In this grandiose setting, each of the finalists gave a short speech, explaining why they would make a good ambassador for LUXE Paris. They then had to answer the judges who kindly asked them several destabilizing questions.

The objective of this meeting was to allow the judges to familiarize themselves with the finalists' personalities, to evaluate their communication skills. Remember that LUXE Paris is looking for an ambassador for its brand, so it takes more than a pretty face to access the prestigious title of LOOK of the YEAR.

No marks were awarded at this event but the jury was invited to note their impressions in order to make an informed decision when voting for the grand finale on September 8th. In the meantime, the finalists will have modeling lessons and mentoring meetings to perfect their art.

The Grand Finale

While the Judges' Brunch was a strictly private event, the grand finale will be open to the public and promises to be a great spectacle. 

In a breathtaking setting designed by Lorez Aichi, the finalists' show will pay tribute to five fashion icons who have particularly inspired LUXE Paris over its twelve years of existence.

In the spotlight, the wonderful Jade PONO, LOOK of the YEAR 2022, who passed away from cancer; PONCHITUTI BOUCHER, a living legend in the SL fashion world, who trained a myriad of runway stars; ZURI RAYNA, the official jeweler of the LOOK of the YEAR competition and creator of the tiaras offered to the winner and finalists; GABRIELLE "COCO" CHANEL, this extraordinary designer who freed women from their corset and who still influences fashion 50 years after her death, and the unforgettable FROLIC MILLS, a great pioneer of virtual fashion, another very dear friend of LUXE Paris who died of cancer last winter.

Each of the finalists must present a look composed of LUXE Paris clothing and Zuri jewelry, inspired by one of these icons. The icons were assigned to the finalists according to a random process.

Ten Women and One Man

For the first time since the creation of the competition a decade ago, it was mixed, therefore open to men, and a courageous man managed to make a place for himself among all these feminine beauties. WyattFrost will indeed be in the grand finale with Ame Morningstar, Aria Absinthe, Catsmeow17, EleanorJean, Girasolmx, Jude Tatham, Keira Rhapsody, Tilly Opaline, TwinkieBean and VanessaJane66. The new LUXE Paris ambassador can indeed be a woman or a man, LUXE Paris offers women's and men's collections.

The LOOK of the YEAR  jury will evaluate the finalists on five main points: their presence on stage, the quality of their look, their ability to respond to a specific fashion order, their way of presenting LUXE Paris and Zuri fashion and their performance at the Judges Brunch.

It is the total of the scores awarded by the judges at the grand finale that will determine who will be the next LOOK of the YEAR and win the super prize pool of L$50,000 in cash!

An Impressive Jury

The LOOK of the YEAR jury is impressive and very diverse with its sixteen members from the worlds of fashion, design, media and music: Adonis Lubomir, owner of Swank Events & the groups Womenstuff and Menstuff, Avalon Chrome, designer at LUXE Paris and LOOK of the YEAR 2021, Blueyes Bonetto, owner of Latin Quarters, our sim-host, and musical director of LOOK of the YEAR events, Chemak Kamala, owner/publisher of SL Confidencial, the magazine of the Spanish community, Dante Lisa, owner of Miss & Mister Elegance & CEO Elégance Model Agency, Diana Balhaus, co-owner of One On One Agency, producer of LOOK of the YEAR events, Hunipet Delicioso, the reigning ambassador of LUXE Paris, Hyaecinte, director of communication of LUXE Paris, Lali Arbizu, co-owner of One On One and coordinator of the finalists, Lanai Jarrico, The SL Enquirer, THE web journal, Mitsuko Kytori, Hayabusa Design, the famous gardener of the LUXE Paris castle, Naar Absinthe, owner of In-Nova Academy and LOOK of the YEAR 2017, Ponchituti Boucher, co-owner of One On One and head of the LOOK of the YEAR mentors, and Zuri Rayna, the star jeweler of LOOK of the YEAR.
