This is the male version of a quite hot wearable from Aoharu. As in the previous Aoharu post this jacket is filled with realism. The sculpt is taken to the next level, in fact i think only my eyelashes and some prims in my hair are still normal prims. This is the expected progress in the use of prims in SL and fashion is clearly a main benefiting agent. It is a very spring related item for some years the denim jacket keeps reinventing itself while winter is going away. At the same time denim jackets are bringing a vintage James Dean like help to your outfit.

As the ultimate bad boy jacket this one has warm detailed texture, I choose a darker tone simply because I like the original indigo tones of the vintage jeans. Denim jacket are a classic, keeping down a look, just throw a denim jacket to some trousers and you are on. Denim keeps going out and in of the fashion industry, there is always some creator fiddling with denim. You can wear it anyway as long is NOT the 1985 jacket from your high school. And also please do not add some fur to it, that is just douche bag. Oh and please do NOT wear it with blue same tones denim pants. That is just so 1990 bazaar look alike.

Real mens wear pink – on monday

with one comment

Yeh monday again so pink might be a soothing color. Psychologically pink is a calming color but the greatest quality of the pink color is that it fits any kind of skin tone. Beside that wearing pink shows a lot of confidence but also with a closed in sensitivity. In combination with a navy color and the whole blue range makes an easy to look and tight outfit. Unless you are making the mistake to wear pink accessories, which will definitely ruin it. I recommend black for the accessories. Some say that wearing pink is a clear sign of losing identity or having masculinity issues. So what? Feel free to wonder about it. After all pink is the color of fighting breast cancer aid bands.Some says also that “real mens wear pink” is some kind of marketing ploy.

The outfit is again Lelutka based I think the striped pink shirt Thora made is one of the best looking shirts right now. The prim belts coming with the jeans also fit very well my avatar shape and also with the right amount of luminance the prim legs are blending very well with the pants texture.

Belleza skins – Miguel

with one comment

It was a buzz over the grid couple of weeks ago that Tricky Boucher was working on a new male skins. Well the new Belleza skins are due to be released today and just for you I am giving you a preview about it.

From the first try I can tell you the buzz was right, the new skins are clearly better over the old ones. I featured the Ewan line of Belleza skins a while ago. So here we go. About the pictures: the pics were taken in my studio with my lightning in front of my usual white background so your inworld result may vary according to your lighting settings. I used Gimp to crop and re-sample all the pictures and a special plugin to link them into panoramic views. The pics are available in large formats for your viewing pleasure, just click on them and wait to load. The skins previewed are only the Eyeliner ones.

The style of these new skins in unbelievable with exactly the right mix between natural look and idealised images we all dream of. The tone range is perfect, for myself I will be choosing the pale tone. The distribution of the tones across the range is perfect with a excellent level of detailing on the extremes. The eyeliner is definitely the best feature over the grid, it is very thin and a excellent boyliner. I was talking with Tricky about a good eyeliner this is definitely better than the little bit too thick eyeliner available on Ewan.

The facial features are covering the whole range of styles too. The facial detail are very warm and detailed, the face skin texture is very well chosen and treated.

Everything about this skins says top class skins, I highly recommend it to all the hot guys around. Tricky is definitely a very good skin designer and deserves to be watch closely since a lot of more new releases are expected in the following weeks.

The rest of the outfit is composed from the Party Suit from Edo and the Bernard hair from Kmadd.

Lelutka spring – style: minimalism

without comments

Definitely a classic event in a long row of special events of Lelutka line, the yesterday show was one of the best shows in the 1st quarter. Specially designed with a so NY fashion week light industrial themed building and closed to public was a very near to reality experience as a spectator and I think as a model too. Lag free and chat restricted with a contemporary rock audio line was relaxing and minimalism at it’s best.

The runway itself was filled with minimalistic and simple looking models with very simplistic poses. And this was clearly eye catching especially when I am thinking that the actual fashion scene is filled with ample realistic looking effects. With this the Lelutka show fit my style and taste just right. Open to dream colors, simple shades of blue and beige, light metalic greys was the color theme of the show.

The collection was very well tight togheter in style, colors and accesories a clear top up a notch in the fashion scene. Melting real fashion with virtual designs was always what Thora and Minnu made at best. As for the skins too, the realistic looking is amalgamated with soft details resulting in a almost idealistic image of the avatar. Simplicity all over, relaxing minimalism.

A classic

with one comment

This suit is new over the online shop of Armidi, shoparmidi.com. I am not a fan of many attachments on the avatar body but this suit has a extremely nice touch over the prims. After a while I think that making textures it is not enough so you need to attach different physical layers over your avatar. This tendency is widespread among high quality content creators of SL. The suit I am wearing is a classic one. The only twist from the classical nature is the open collar and I know a closed collar with tie looks pretty when done in texture but looks better this way. This has a reused Cambridge shirt, another Armidi classic.

About my absence over the blogosphere. The absence is totally motivated by RL issues (not covered) but has something to do with SL too. It was a long time I was feeling surprised by some creations. There are no surprises anymore, there have been weeks from when a certain creation was a pleasure to see. This post is just a on the road one, keep reading till I am figuring out what is going wrong.
