Maison Martin Margiela

Margiela has been an inspiration to me in RL for a long time and I myself have some of the weirdest items from him in RL. I am more than excited when Silly, Kes and Solde asked me to photograph their inspired outfits for Colour of Couture Photo Style Challenge. Amazing girls!

Cross-Posted: http://insideemperial.wordpress.com/2014/07/03/vogue-italia-luomo-vogue-conde-nast-and-porsche-design/

YES! You didn't see the logo at the bottom left corner wrongly. Its the VOGUE logo.

In my attempt to bridge the huge gap between my Secondlife work and real life works as an visual artist/art director/photographer, my SL Graphic & Photography work had been one of the 20 images selected (amongst thousands!) by Vogue Italia and L'Uomo Vogue in conjunction with Porsche Design to be exhibited as a setting for an exclusive cocktail party to celebrate the opening of the new Porsche Design boutique in Milan!

Thank you Vogue Italia, Porsche Design, Ms. Franca Sozzani, Mr. Juergen Gessler and also Bardelli Chiara.

If anyone of you in Italy passes by the Porsche Design boutique in Via della Spiga Milan, please snap a picture and send it to me!

I am more than ecstatic to share this contained happiness with everyone of you!

SAVIAD Spring Fashion Fair

THE HAUTE COUTURE REVOLUTION

15-31 march 2014 @ SAVIAD

The SAVIAD group is honoured to invite you “FIERA/Blooming Spring Fair” which will be held from March 15th to the 31st.
 

With a special event organized by Kabuki Boutique and a special issue of Versus Magazine entirely dedicated to the Fair.

This can be defined as the main event of 2014: SAVIAD, a group spawned from the fusion of three main SL® fashion brands: Solidea Folies, Violator e Ad Creations  - all of which have been operating in Second Life® for years, together in the celebration of Spring with an event without precedent.

SAVIAD Blooming Spring Fair is a fair which is includes more than 50 brands, and it is also honoured to be sponsored by Sys, Gabriel, Gizza, Azul, Elysium, Dead Dollz, Pure Poison, Les Petit Details, HMAEM, Sonatta Morales, Zibska e Lybra.

Organizing this event was was a big challenge for the Saviad group: created only two months ago, in january 2014, it already relies on the trust of several fashion brands, demonstrating how the dedication and professionalism of the group founders and their collaborators have been valued and appreciated over the years.

The Fair will take place on 3 sims and on different levels: near the shops immersed in an artistic environment, you will find several stands dedicated to gacha, giveaways and the “Tiger Alley”, a special market area where you will find special item editions that our fellow designers created to celebrate the white tiger that represents SAVIAD.

And last but not least, the list of all the friends that will join us at the FIERA/Blooming Spring Fair:

Types of SL Photographs
by Nariko Okawa and WrenNoir Cerise
VISIONAIRE Collective

SL photographers of VISIONAIRE INSTITUTE have recognized that there is a lack of a common terminology regarding the treatment of an SL photograph.  This becomes a difficulty for many who require photographs yet do not have the language to request the type of photo they have in mind.  This can lead to problematic situations that could be avoided with the proper common language.

Below are definitions of four common TREATMENTS (as opposed to intended use) of SL photographs.

Each of the categories is on a continuum with no strictly defined parameters, and a photograph may well straddle two or more categories.  These are general definitions that can help form a common ground of understanding.

No particular treatment of SL photographs is "superior" as all treatments have their uses.

Examples from different SL photographers will be used to illustrate each category but that does not mean that he/she is fixed in that category.  As artists, SL Photographers are evolving, innovating and exploring all the time as well as influencing one another.

We are also not going to talk about the uses for each of the categories.

Here we offer the definitions of four broad categories:

1. RAW UNEDITED PICTURES or UNEDITED SNAPSHOTS
2. NATURAL EDITED PICTURES
3. HEAVILY ENHANCED PICTURES
4. ARTISTICALLY PAINTED or MANIPULATED PICTURES
