As a newer Rezzable blogger, I've heard lots of excited talk about the upcoming Swansong fashion event, but I didn't actually know much about it. It was just a place that had clothes for sale, right? I was told that I had to go see what all the fuss was about for myself, with a foot planted firmly on my butt by Lokum and Winter. So I dressed myself in my favourite dress from the previous Black Swan show "Winter Magic" - the Florencia by Ghanima Uriza of ++Blue Blood++ and the Wrapped Hair which Helena Stringer made, and I went on an odyssey of the avian kind.

Those of you who enjoyed the Passion of Black Swan Fashion Show machinima or the Killer Designers, will definitely <3 PG Broadbent's latest work, a fabulous machinima of the "Winter Magic at Black Swan" fashion show, featuring designer brand such as Paper Couture, Casa Del Shai and Snatch. Care to make your own machinima? Take a look at the machinima checklist! But first, enjoy this recap of the Winter Magic Fashion Show on YouTube (and make sure to watch it in "high quality"):

Just when I didn't think it could ever be possible, Silent Sparrow designer Hyasynth Tiramisui actually outdid herself. I remember when her Snow Glass Suite was announced at the very first Winter Magic fashion show, I wondered impatiently what Hya might have come up with this time. Accustomed to her style, I was expecting richly embroidered lush brocades for this event, maybe velvet..in black? perhaps silver? Or no...could it be that she wanted to surprise us with some really vibrant colors that would radiate warmth in the middle of the wintry landscape?

Winter Magic is almost over! and here is a selection for you. This has been just an incredible event .

I would love to thank all the designers who have participated. Most are already working on some warmer designs for our next event.

I have never realised the word Egypt can give so much insprition to many designers.

Come and Join us today at 7pm at Black Swan for the Winter Magic Fashion Show and there will be couple of suprises and announcements.

Will see you all there .

What I love the most about designer SySy Chapman's creation for Winter Magic is its versatility, which leaves you with more than half a dozen ways to wear it. Apart from that, I think the pictures speak for themselves; the "Flakes in the Shadow" gown is absolutely stunning to behold. Actually, no amount of pictures will do it much justice, its one of those things that you need to see, touch and wear to really appreciate. The bodice and sleeves are beautifully embroidered with intricate silver snowflakes, which represent winter. The overall black color of the gown is symbolic of the Black Swan sim, while the versatility of the entire 14 piece dress, which transforms it into a new dress every time you play around with it, adds that "magical" quality to it.

Callie Cline has created two stunning dresses for the Winter Magic fashion event that are making fashionistas everywhere flock to Black Swan to snatch them up!  During the past two fashion shows, the audience made many "Ooh!," "Ahh!," and of course, "Hoo!!!" sounds when the models from Nocturne Modelling Agency sashayed down the runway wearing them.

Both dresses are a part of Callie's "Divine" collection, and are available only at Black Swan!  The first I popped on to do a little ooh'ing of myself is called "Double Bubble."  It comes with a bodice and a jacket overlay that can be tinted to match any of the gemstones that are included within the set that come in TWELVE color options with just a click!  The opportunity to create your own unique look with all of the available options sets this dress apart, along with the detailing on the bodice that includes over 600 layers of hand-placed gems. 

This dress just screams out red carpet glamor, doesn't it?
Daring, sexy, coquettish...if anything will make you feel like a silver screen goddess, brimming with confidence and style, it would have to be the stunning Chrysalis dress from Casa Del Shai. It really is one of the most delicate, feminine creations I have seen in a while - exquisite diaphanous hand painted silks and light matte satins wrap around your body, covering up the right bits and revealing enough skin to totally mesmerize. Chrysalis is really just one of those dresses that will definitely turn every head in the room and have all eyes fixed on you; taking in the beauty, grace and utterly heart stopping sexiness of your form. It's not only a feast for the eyes, however, this dress, no, it's much, much more.

Yes !!! finally I survived through the Christmas season with the in-laws in Paris. Yes!!! we ate way too much. Yes!!!! The kids were all sick :) Paris was cold but it seems like everywhere is cold this year... Santa is the coolest ever again with great gifts ... Still don't know how does he do it... so another holiday season is almost over and I am back to work.

Voshie Paine and Adaire Decuir have been working endlessly to get the first bilingual Fashion show together today at winter magic at Black Swan Sim. While we are getting the last minute details ready I wanted to share this photo I have taken before my holdiays at Crimson Sahdwo sim wearing Paper Couture dress created by Ava Lu for the Winter Magic Show and the Obscene Skin again created for the Winter Magic show. They go so well together. Also above is the full ensemble of the Paper Couture dress including the skin and the hair.
