Art In Motion

The quiet hush of a museum has always been one of my favorite places to reflect in thought in RL. On one recent visit to The Second Life Louve Museum, I noted it would be the perfect place for a fashion photo shoot. The occasion calls for no less than stark realism with a feral elegance just below the surface. I selected hair for it's extreme movement and is in it self a testament to the curves and lines of a fine sculpture. Statement making Art Deco Earrings from Paper Couture compliment the wild rapture of this mane. Keeping the rest of the look simple and chic are one of my favorite pieces in SL, the wilted wednesday vest over a sheer black top with wide leg uncomplicated pants in black. I imagine these pants to be in a season appropriate silk that hang perfectly and have gorgeous movement. To finsh, wonderful large gold bangles and black sculpty shoes.

Black and Gold

The understated elegance of black and gold coupled with accents of sky blue and the unexpected pattern of zebra print stockings; makes for a modern couture look with a dash of old world charm. I selected the Dakota silk shirt from Casa Del Shai with it's flowing sleeves and slightly irredesent sheen and paired it with the Black Dahlia skirt, modded to knee length, from The Niven Collection. The skirt has great movement and mimics the fluidity of the sleeves. Accessories include the pale, milky chandelier earrings, black lace necktie with it's pale blue beaded broach, black patterned corset belt, sheer zebra print stockings and black shoe booties. Make up and hair are kept simple and classic with an upswept, sleek top bun, softly defined eyes and muted lips.
