One has to have an "edge" to tackle the future, or the past may not let you go.  A sharp edge is best, as it cuts through the unessential confusion, and clearly exposes that which is needed.

This ensemble from L'Able ensure you are ready to fight your way mercilessly to the future, whilst knowing you look dayum good.  The broad shoulders send a loud and clear "not to be messed with"  message,  and as seen in the top picture, the bolero jacket has awesome detailing.  I like how the leggings provide a graphical contrast to the outfit, breaking it up and giving it further interest, ooooh and the gloves.. well they ensure you don't break a nail during the battle to the future.

One way or another the latest fashion adventure from Rezzable mades all think about the future. Some think about their own future, others reflect in the future as a concept and the designers for 2010 - The Future Is Now translated into clothing showing us how they perceived the future.

Cutea Benelli from Grim Bros. created the 3.6 zettabyte complete outfit (including shoes, skin and even shape which I am not using). The outfit is ultramodern with a mini skirt and a small top in a unique texture (that is almost impossible to catch on film.) To top it off, wearing the Ridley hair from Tiny Bird in Milk shade.

The fashion industry has never been one to wait around for societal norms to jump into a new era, and the runways in multiple worlds lately have been graced with sleek, edgy designs hailing from the future. Rezzable's 2010 - The Future is Now event has collected a number of the best creators to focus our scopes on what may be in store fo us, and I managed to catch one of the designs in action- the Razor Girl by +DV8+.

The Future is arriving, and here's just a small taste...

  2010 - The Future is Now

 Greenies Home

Shhh...   I have a secret. Several, actually. I now know what's going on with the new Rezzable fashion event that Winter is planning for January. And I know a few designers that are going to be in it. Some of them are my favourites. One of them makes me feel like a princess. Would you like to see?

Jori Watler of ~alaMood~ made the Alkahi Inferno rings and earrings that you can see me wearing in the top picture. I'm wearing the Jude II hair in Black Bean by Autumn Hykova of Tiny Bird, a hair maker that I just LOVE. And my butterfly shoulder companion was a Shoe Fair 08 gift from SakuraDawn Lei of Lazy Places.

 Indulgences.  Often our Second Lives allow us the ability to flirt with our indulgences, guilt free.  One of my lil sekrit ones is camisks.  I adore these.  I know that for most, “Gorean” comes to mind and while it is true that the camisk is a garment used in Gorean Roleplay, it is also a very versatile item that can be easily incorporated into any wardrobe.
 
One of the first times I remember seeing a Camisk hit the mainstream Fashion feeds was with “Flourish“ from Haven Designs.  This was truly such a beautiful item, that it was soon seen on some of the most fashionable in SL.

It is quite easy to fell in love with the beautiful dress created by Zaara to the Swan Song. The dress was inspired in the element Wind (or Air) and has a rich texture work finishing in flowing leaves.

Vayu is the hindu word for air and is generally used in the sense of the physical air or wind.
In the hymns, Vayu is "described as having 'exceptional beauty' and moving noisily in his shining coach, driven by two or forty-nine or thousand white and purple horses. A white banner is his main attribute."

Writing for the Swansong event has been an interesting challenge for me, personally: not only is there an elemental theme to keep in mind, but each blogger must execute their posts so that they are unique, despite us all working with the same items. This can tie us up in some knots or cause us to bump heads if we’re not careful.

Fortunately, we have a team that naturally thinks beyond limitations. Elusyve and Piston had their affair with Wretched Dollies, and now it’s my turn to get down and dirty with Gaia's Sonata.

It is always a challenge to capture the beauty and detail of clothing when shooting, but even harder to portray the "essense" of a item with much depth and character. Perhaps the hardest challenge thus far of all the creations for the Swan Song event at The Black Swan, AvaGardner Kungler's "Oceania" gown from Kunglers Couture.
