WE ARE THE WORLD In the name of beauty without racial barriers!

It was in an effervescent atmosphere and with a lot of emotion in the air that the WE ARE THE WORLD fashion show took place this weekend! The Powerhouse Collective shook the world as 23 Power models from all over the planet walked the runway in the name of beauty without racial barriers!

Dressed by LUXE Paris, the models, all superstars, recounted fashions from the four corners of the world, taking advantage of the spotlight to make the beauty of all colours sparkle.
 
Asia, Africa, Europe… all continents were represented. Russia and Ukraine were there together. The models had been left completely free to select the clothes of their choice and the corner of the planet that they wished to represent; the result was spectacular. Dazzling!
 
But the best part of the story is that the public answered the call and we really felt great solidarity in the room, a great pleasure in breaking down prejudices.
 
BEAUTY IS IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER
 
''Not only was your event of great beauty, but it carries an extraordinary message: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, as my grandmother used to say,'' said Mika Palmyra, co-owner of LUXE Paris, in a short speech at the end of the event.
 
Palmyra attended the event with business partner Parisian Skytower as well as LUXE Paris designers Avalon Chrome and Liv Anton.
 
''Not only did you create dazzling looks that made our fashion shine, but most of all, we could feel your solidarity and your determination to break the narrow-mindedness'', added Mika Palmyra.
 
''Power models, after seeing what you are capable of, it wouldn't be surprising if you really manage to change the world!''
 
 The Powerhouse Collective is a group of models who want to change the definition of beauty. The WE ARE THE WORLD show was entirely produced by The Powerhouse collective.
 

A MEANINGFUL HAPPENING
 
It all started when LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR winner and brand ambassador Jade Pono offered to do a show with The Powerhouse Collective, which she runs with Selene Takeda, Ame Morningstar, Hasu Valentino, Shiloh Mae, and Melinda Bayn.
 
Mika Palmyra and Parisian Skytower loved the idea and continue to develop it by suggesting the theme WE ARE THE WORLD!
 
''With the philosophy of LUXE Paris promoting the beauty of diversity and our Collective wanting to shine the spotlights on models of all races, it was a very harmonious and productive teamwork'' says Jade.
 
''The theme represented us so well that everyone wanted to participate! It really became our WE ARE THE WORLD, a unique and meaningful happening!''
 

While Jade took over production and Melinda armed her camera to immortalize the adventure, Wyatt Frost offered his sim Cadence Island for the event and tackled the construction of the runway with his friends Criss Fenrisulfr and Sander Sparta of Ambient Building and Environment.

 
At the same time, two dozen of models scrutinized LUXE Paris store to create the best looks while Selene Takeda supervised the production of the style cards. Anael Starr hosted the event as Ame Cheveyo was DJing and Lady Evaa filming.

Changing the definition of beauty WE ARE THE WORLD Fashion Show

 

A bit like that memorable night of January 1985, when dozens of singers from all over the world came together to record WE ARE THE WORLD, 22 models of all ethnicities will tell the fashion of the world SATURDAY October 1st at 12 PM SLT in a striking fashion show by The Powerhouse agency and LUXE Paris.

By Mika Palmyra

 ''Check your egos at the door'' read the sign placed by Quincy Jones on the front door of A&M Studios that night in L.A., 37 years ago. Here in Second Life, we could write: CHANGING THE DEFINITION OF BEAUTY, the message that inspired the foundation of The Powerhouse Collective and that LUXE Paris also conveys through its slogan DIVERSITY.

France, USA, Africa, Argentina, UK, Spain, Ireland. Japan, Italy... The 22 Power models will take us around the world with evocative looks assembled with LUXE Paris clothes.

The models were left completely free to create the look of their choice with the LUXE Paris outfits of their choice to illustrate the fashion style of the nation of their choice. This freedom to create combined with the expertise of the Power models has given spectacular results, of which we give you a brief overview in a superb photo taken by Melinda Bayn de Naidoo.

 To see the rest, you will have to join us SATURDAY October 1st at NOON for our WE ARE THE WORLD in the name of the beauty of all colours!

With his passion intact, he launched SL 20 magazine, a monthly publication listing the top 20 designers in a particular sector of the fashion industry. It is this group of exceptional designers who are making the first SL Fashion Week.

LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR 1st Runner-up BECKY KENAAN United States

MOST PERSEVERING COMPETITOR!

LOOK of the YEAR finalist in 2012, 2018 and 2020, Becky Kenaan was in her fourth final this year when she finally reached the position of first runner-up, setting a record for perseverance in the same breath.

``Perseverance has been something ingrained in me by my parents since I was a small child, explains Becky. They have taught me to reach for the highest goals in my life, and never regret or be afraid to fail or fall short - for it builds upon your character and inner 
strength. Who knows... maybe I'll throw in my hat in the ring again next year!``

What motivates her? Taking up life's challenges. 

``Challenges make you dig deep into yourself, `` she says. ``Every challenge that comes our way takes us off the beaten track in many ways. The challenges of the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR competition allowed me to expand my skills and knowledge base in fashion exponentially.``

``  

PASSIONATE ABOUT BIOPHILIA

No wonder Becky fell in love with the colors and fashion of Second Life, she is an architect and colorist in real life and has a passion for biophilic design. This new 

path of architecture builds on the fundamental love of humans for what is alive

and promotes the use of colors and shapes of nature, light, and water, to create an 

environment that makes human beings feel good.

``I am specialized in designing medical facilities and in the health care profession, 

color plays an especially important biophilic role for both emotional and physical 

well-being``, explains Becky.

``I find fashion and architecture to be very closely linked. In both cases, the form 

must marry the function but also deploy a fluidity, right proportions, a history and

a personal expression. 

I like to apply biophilia to both architecture and fashion. It is the very essence of our

humanity and binds us to all other living species.``

What does fashion mean to you?

``It is, sometimes, my own form of escapism`` confides Becky. `` It allows me to 

express my mood with conviction, to articulate my self-expression where words 

simply cannot. It often serves as an emotional boost that can make a dull day seem

brighter, and it also serves as a reminder that on even bad days, when nothing is 

going as I had planned, I’m armed. As Diana Vreeland once said, “Fashion must be 

the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.”

 MAKE HATRED AND BIGOTRY GO AWAY

This is what Becky would change in the real world if she had a magic wand.

``I am concerned about where our world is headed these days,`` Becky continues.

``However, as an optimist, I believe that as the world evolves, so does humanity and 

that there is hope that our society will make the necessary corrections to improve the

human condition for us all.``

What was your first thought when it was announced that you were the first runner-up?

``WOW!  LOL...  I was certainly thrilled to reach this plateau in my modeling career!  

Of course, you always strive and hope to win the whole “kit and kaboodle... But the 

judging was very fair… and for me, the outcome served as an indicator as to where 

I ranked in this sensational group of talented women. I am honoured.``

Your best moment in this competition?

``I enjoyed the challenge “Reveal the LUXE Paris star in you'' hands down! I chose to 

embody Audrey Hepburn for her many contributions to French haute couture. Not only

did I admire her grace, beauty and intelligence, but I also admired her belief in helping 

others less fortunate than her.``

The worst moment?

``When my brother-in-law had passed away as a result of the COVID-19 virus. This 

came during my preparation for the finale.  It has devastated our family.``

LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR THE CROWN TO VALSNIA!

 

Valsnia, from India, won the prestigious LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR title and the nice sum of L $ 50,000 in cash that came with it!

Also shining in her wake were Becky Kenaan, 1st runner up, and RoyaleSun, 2nd runner up.

PHOTOS: Monica Querrien

The grand final of the competition took place on Sunday. In a grandiose production by One On One Agency, the twelve finalists walked on the theme '' A Ball to Save the Planet '', presenting what they considered to be the ideal LUXE Paris outfit to participate in such an event, in tribute to Greenpeace and its benefactors Elton John and Stella McCartney.

Valsnia, Becky Kenaan, RoyaleSun, Annough Lykin, EleanorJean, Hunipet Delicioso, Imogen Spark, Jude Tatham, Ksenia Jovinavic, Laycie Pearl, Nonoya, and TaraAers all brilliantly rose to the challenge, competing in imagination and elegance.

THE SUN GODDESS 

Valsnia, however, stood out with a look inspired by her country's sun goddess, Sakthi. Wearing the LUXE Paris Emeraude ball gown and adorned with Zuri jewels, she also enhanced the ensemble with a headpiece in the shape of the sun.

"In India, only 56% of the total population has access to electricity," Valsnia told judges and the public.

''It breaks my heart to think about that. Why I get to keep this privilege and another girl cannot. Why do I get to read my books with controlled temperature and light at my fingertips when another child has to walk miles and miles to access a streetlight for his education?

''The only way to move forward and make sure energy is available to all is by tapping into a resource that is universal, nondiscriminatory. I chose to dress as the Indian Sun Goddess, Sakthi, to insist that we move towards solar energy and achieve one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.''

Becky, for her part, chose to wear a gown from the LUXE Paris Brewin collection, made from the artwork of the RL Canadian painter Dave Brewin. ''Entitled New Beginnings Through Change, the artwork which infuses this dress exemplifies nature's wonderful biophilic beauty and the delicate eco-diversity of our planet'', highlighted Becky.

Also wearing a LUXE Paris Brewin dress, the Above, Royale honored our oceans and the marine life in her styling. ''The scales tattoo represents the many varieties of fish found within our oceans'', explained Royale.  ''Without them, the many nations who depend on our oceans for food would perish or have their lives forever changed.''

A VERY MOVING FINALE

Carrying an important message for the future of humanity, the final show of the competition '' A Ball to Save the Planet '' was also very moving. Avalon Chrome, LOOK of the YEAR 2020, delivered a farewell speech filled with passion and with a voice sometimes broken by emotion, sad to lay down her crown but very proud to continue her collaboration with LUXE Paris, now as a designer.

Valsnia was also deeply moved by her victory, reporting that her fingers quivered on the keyboard as she addressed the judges and the audience via public chat.

''Wow! I can't believe it'', she exclaimed as the crowd cheered her on.

''I feel like I am dreaming. Never the moment I entered this contest, or during the process of this amazing journey, I thought to myself that I would be LUXE Paris Look of the Year!

''I mean, look at these amazing ladies! There is no one who is less than the other.

''But today, standing here, I feel as if I have achieved one of the best things I ever wanted from SL. Being part of a movement! The feeling of completeness fills me because LUXE Paris is more than a brand.

''I will do everything in my power to fill the big shoes Avalon Chrome is leaving.''

THE SHOW AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE

Valsnia, Becky, and Royale were elected among twelve finalists, themselves selected among 340 submissions.

The finalists were evaluated by a jury composed of 12 personalities from the fashion industry and the media world: Parisian Skytower and Mika Palmyra, LUXE Paris owners-designers, Frolic Mills, founder of BOSL and Miss Virtual World, Ponchituti Boucher, co-owner of One On One Modeling Agency, Avalon Chrome, LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR 2020, Naar Rexen, owner of In-Nova Modeling Academy, Adonis Lubomir, owner of Swank Event, Ahn Amore, owner of the Womenstuff group, Nany Jurado, owner-designer of Bon Amour Hair, Chemak Kamala, owner-editor SL Confidencial, Orion Baral, Chief Operator at The SL Enquirer, and Laura, representative of Zuri Jewelry.
