Casa del Shai has been one of my most favorite of the favorite stores since I discovered it almost a year ago.  When I think of Shai Delacroix's designs, I think of edgy elegance and the very height of style in SL fashion.  High praise, yes..but if anyone deserves it, it's this long-time creator of the "classy pixels" (as she calls them). 

Imagine my excitement when we she agreed to participate in Passions of Black Swan!  I couldn't wait to see what would inspire her.  It turns out, the answer is...Tim Burton!  I talked with Shai as the designers were setting up, and she told me the statue of the ballerina within Black Swan mixed with her love of Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Beetle Juice" to create this dark ballerina dress she calls "Rosalind."  This dress is just the first peek at her soon-to-be-released new collection.

Kuranosuke Kamachi is the designer of DeLa*, whom with a lot of enthusiasm creates virtual shoes, clothing and accessories. Miss Kamachi started making virtual clothes about 4 months ago. When you look at the details of this dress its hard to believe. Before then she was only designing shoes for our lovely pixel feet.
