Meiling, Creme de la Creme Shirt Dress

Meiling, a very popular designer in RL who originated from the Caribbean, is bringing her RL spring/summer collection into SL again!  The Creme de la Creme Shirt Dress is one from this collection and so cool that I seriously want it in RL!  I would so wear this for real!

It’s a very simple shirt dress but crisp and clean using natural fabric.  It is, however, a very avant-garde design with two huge pockets that make this dress so high fashion.  And this simplicity makes this a very versatile design to style!

Here I styled it using blue accessories with blue as the point colour.  But you can do this using any colour and of course, you can make it all white too.

Wedge shoes with spikes from Gok in blue were a perfect match for this high fashion design and here, in order not to destroy the crisp and clean look, I used a men’s hair and makeup that uses very pale colours in hue of grey.

Clean makeup and the use of men's hair give this a very clean and sharp image.

Meiling – More From The Grand Riviere Collection

Real life designer, Meiling, launched her RL Spring/Summer Collection “Grand Riviere” recently starting off with her promotional garment Wind Song Dress, which I blogged about in this blog.

Now she has launched more from this all-white collection which has gathered much press coverage and excitement in RL and we are seeing more coming into SL!

Here, I will introduce two of such most recent SL launched the White Peony Gown and the Mt. Plaisir Dress.  Although they are all different in design, the simple, clean and yet elegant style that Meiling is known for is inherited in her SL collections.

The White Peony Gown is a very simple gown seen from the front but the back of the gown is all covered with flowers made from the same material and positively betrays our expectation by presenting a gorgeous and elegant look.  This gown is most likely best styled by keeping the rest a simple and clean as the frontal view.

And the next outfit is the Mt. Plaisir Dress which has a very sweet and innocent look which I so love about this dress.

Resuming My Blog! Yay!! – MEILING, A RL Designer Who’s Crossed The Line

Wow.  It’s been so long since I last blogged and I am finally resuming my blogging activity!  Whoot!  The reason why I had to stop blogging was because my graphic card wasn’t keeping up with the development in the viewers and every time I tried to take pictures, my screen either froze, turned black or I crashed.  After several attempts spending literally hours just to take a few pics, I finally had to give up.

Now I have a new PC, new graphic cards and I’m back to business!

I had also been a bit busy recently as I was helping Meiling launch in SL.  Meiling is a very successful real life designer from Trinidad & Tobago who is not only very well known in the Caribbean for her couture designs of real life garments but also known for her innovative and very creative marketing skills.  She is probably the only Caribbean designer in SL and brings with her a new trend in this virtual world of very wearable and stylish designs of items we can now buy in this virtual world from her real life collection.

She is very different in the following points, in my opinion.

  1. Meiling’s designs have been inspired from the great couture design talents from Japan with its simple yet modern designs but she has added to this, a Caribbean touch, and has created a whole new line of designs that is very unique to Meiling.
  2. She will be following the real life sales method of introducing seasonal collections which will be retired periodically.  This means, one collection will only be available until the next collection is out and her designs will not be in the store for a very long time.  This is going to be very different from most of the sales direction with SL designers where most of the items will be available for a much longer period of time.
  3. Meiling’s designs are SL versions of her real life designs.  This means they will all be very realistic rather than SL unique designs with lots of fancy prims.

Today I am introducing one of Meiling’s newest releases, the Noir Mystere Dress which was an iconic dress that was actually shown in her RL collection. It is a very simple and yet very stylish and modern design that reflects Meiling’s policy as a designer that “outfits are to show the women and not the women showing the outfits“.
