Wen Winkler: A New Designer of Great Gowns

Posted on by

I ran into Wen some time ago when she just opened a new store as her very own. Wen had been a designer with OMG! Inc., but she launched on a project to have her own outfits in her own store. She had some wedding gowns and some coloured gowns for the bride maids when I walked in. This was my first encounter with Wen.

It’s been about a month or so since then. She had been sending me pics of her new releases and I couldn’t believe how quickly she was turning into a great gown designer! Even when she started, she was already quite impressive with the textures she was using but now she is acquiring new skills to create interesting gowns on top of her texture skills.

I must say I am VERY impressed!! I was so excited when I visited her store yesterday since the last time I visited about a month ago. I was thinking “I knew it!! I knew it!!” Wen’s gowns are all very elegant but she makes gowns that leave a strong impression. It could be the colours she uses together with her designs. But her gowns, for some reason, are memorable. I will introduce some of her lovely creations here from time to time and here is one of them – “Purple Haze.”

The purple Wen chose for this gown is just right to give it an almost royal feel to it in addition to the top part that gives it a bit of a classic touch. The basic design is simple, but it’s these small details that give the gown a very nice look and feel that makes you feel like a princess.

I am now convinced that Wen Winkler will be one designer I need to keep my eyes on.

"sey" Rider Jacket…….Again!

I posted about “sey’s” new rider jacket on October 30 and I have already wrote that there were 8 colour variations to this jacket. Well, I ended up getting the silver one also and thought I might show it without a hood this time. The set comes with pieces that allow you to wear it with and without a hood and even if you chose to have a hood, you can still choose whether you want boa around the hood or a simple hood with no boa. This is great for mixing and matching as boa does sometimes get in the way and I have regretted many times in the past that a jacket didn’t have boa.

So here, I wore it without any hood and kept it very simple. I like taking a hard image item and matching them to create a sweet look so this time I matched it up with pink items to make a more girlie look. As with all of risey Arai’s outfits that he creates, the details and texture of the jacket is great as you can also see from the half length jeans that I also got in his store. This pair of jeans will be a fun item to make funky looks or playful looks.

Nicole, A New Release From Styles of edo

Styles of edo, released a new gown called Nicole yesterday. It is a very sexy satin gown with fur, so timely as we slowly approach the cold winter days that await us.

The gown comes in 8 colours. This time, in addition to the regular colours such as black and red, Mami Jewell, designer of female outfits at Styles of edo, came up with very subtle colours such as lavendar, light blue and even gold for those who like to make bold statements. This is the first gown that Mami releases with fur but her very sexy style remains without change. Just look how low the back of the gown cuts down to. In RL, I would be so self conscious to wear something so low. But this is SL and I might as well enjoy it as much as I can.

I was thinking where would I want to wear this? And what more would be fit than a gorgeous high class cruiser trip with parties every night. So dreaming of such a lovely cruiser trip, I came to the Titanic sim for a photoshoot on the SL Titanic.
