Making Friends

It's been a busy week for me in SL. Finalising my Fashion Forward article for the November Issue of Second Style magazine, making sure that I get it done before I head off for a week away (without access to my PC - arrrghhh!). This always involves sending a lot of notecards to designers to request review samples, trying on multiple outfits and taking a heap of photographs.

I'm continually impressed by how friendly and helpful so many of Second Life's fashion designers are. And the high regard they have for Second Style blows me away - most of them really do consider it an honor to be included.

But the last couple of days was a bit extra special. Lots of people helped me out, but I'd like to make special mention of four of them - Launa Fauna, who happily piled an absolute heap of stuff on me at very short notice; Sinjun Soyer who despite having never heard of Second Style (!) and not considering herself a fashion designer, was ready to let me have her lovely new coats; SAZAE Yoshikawa, who despite a serious language barrier managed to work out just what I needed through patience and perseverence; and lastly, Zahara Rahja - the latest designer on my friendslist. We became quite gushing about one another as we negotiated the exchange of goodies and info and I have a really positive feel about the momentum around her SavvyAvvy line right now.

As a token of my gratitude and because these outfits will not be included in my forthcoming Second Style article (but I love them so much), I am showing you the two versions of Zahara's Katie set for SavvyAvvy. The are worth including in your inventory if only for the stylish little neck scarves!

Look for more from all of these designers in November's Second Style!
