Feature: GLAM World Magazine Grand Opening
February 10, 2008
This past Saturday marked the grand opening of GLAM Magazine with a fashion show featuring some of Second Life’s notable fashion designers. Over 15 models took to the catwalk, serving as virtual coat hangers for designs from GHOST, artilleri, LeeZu Baxter Designs, Cubic Effect, Muism, Serene Sensation, Lookr, Designs by Nicky Ree, Paper Couture, Maitreya and “Cachet” by Minnu Model Skins. The event was DJ’d by duckyfresh Watanabe who remarked post-show, “It was really pretty. The Nicky Ree section was especially beautifully choreographed”.
The launch video can be seen on the Glam World Blog.
GLAM Mag – the vision of Minnu Palen and Thora Charron (Minnu Model Skins), Onyx Leshelle and Beauvoir Rousselot (Maitreya) and Miabella Foxley (Imagen Design Agency) – hopes to combine cutting edge fashion-photography and premier content with the ambition of setting new publication standards in SL. All parties have made their mark in the world of virtual fashion and photography.
The first issue, which highlights the work of the publishers themselves as well as that of Icemocolo Voom (MUISM), Saeya Nyanda (KΨoot Army), Triangle Caudron (GHOST), product trends and recent designer-driven charity work can be downloaded in PDF format or viewed as a Flash presentation on the GLAM Mag mini-site.
Following the delirium of late and lengthy practices, outfit coordination and fittings, showtime buzz and killer lag with the pressure off I got together with fellow show model and winner of this Month’s MMS poster contest, Steve Hansen, and took a few photos of the Muism and Lookr sets we walked in. These two labels in addition to artilleri provided the content for male fashion within the show.
