Zazzle in Second life December 6, 2007

So now that we have created our stores in second life and have products we made on the Zazzle web page, our teacher thought it would be a great ideal to make those Zazzle shirts in second life with a web link attached so they could also buy the shirt in real life. Embedded in the box displaying our products a person in second life can click on that box and a window appears asking if they would like to visit the web page. if they click yes the web opens on my zazzle account on that product they were just looking at.

Sears Project November 5, 2007

The other week my class met with a man who works for Sears to discus a possible project with them.

We first found products on their web site that we could recreate in second life. Then began the tedious work of trying to recreate them. The hardest part was making the flexi skirts. These are a series of panels that move when your avatar moves, looking as if it was fabric flowing.

Below are the originals next to their recreations:

 

 

My Own Botique October 12, 2007

A project we just started in second life is building our own little store to sell the designs we make. Here are the various stages of construction.

Step One: Research September 13, 2007

My favorite boutique in SecondLife is Artilleri. A definite retro style, even the shop its self looks like an old diner.

 

 

A lot of the clothes while being very different all had a element of vintage or retro in them. My favorites being Last Call , Camie Cooper, and Artilleri. I found myself wishing these designers made these clothes in real life (opposed to second life). And maybe that will be a next step for them. I can only hope. It would be a great was to get your name out there since Second Life already has so many users and is continuing to grow in popularity.

Talking out its growing popularity, some of you may be aware of of the free e-mailed magazine JC report. Recently there was a issue completely dedicated to Digital life mainly Second Life. American Apparel, Nike, Rebook, Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney, and Dior have already been active in SL (Second Life).

Second life is defiantly bringing fashion to the next level. Technology has constantly changed the fashion world over and over. So be on the look out because virtual fashion is heading your way.
