MMS Fall Collection Overview and Exciting Contest!

An addiction to glamor and fashion symbolizes the new MMS collection greatly. Featuring compelling and state of the art textures in each and every new creation, Minnu Palen and Thora Charron have completed another jaw-dropping collection that is sure to make its way in “Second Life textbooks.” The 2008 Fall Collection at Minnu Model Skins and Cachet has presented new talents and new additions to Second Life Fashion. Valena Glushenko, a good friend of mine, has joined the Minnu Model Skin team as a partner designer, showcasing her wondrous jewelry. Minnu and Thora, also good friends of mine have turned the tables in their design-making. New styles and textures are being captivated and used in their clothing line at Cachet. New and outstanding concepts, such as freckles (only seen since the gen. 3 collection) and glossy lips are being utilized for the skins at MMS. Realistic looking hair textures are also being used at the hair store at MMS. For the first part of this blogpost I would like to show several pieces of art/clothing that Minnu and Thora have created. They are absolutely delicious and worth every little pixel sweat Minnu and Thora accumulated while working on them. I was full of school-girl glee when the outfits were dropped on me. I quickly placed then on and was extremely stunned. My pixel mouth couldn’t move, maybe even my Real Life one.. Shown on the first picture on the top left is the Deborah Dress and Anya bag, both from Cachet. Also shown is the Sill Hair in ginger and Helsinki skin, my most favorite skins out of the whole collection, in pale. This dress is unexplainable, it’s simple amazing. The whole bubble skirt placed with a simple black belt and the sculpt top was a phenomenal idea. I finished off the look with some jewelry from Earthtones and a ring from Fuse. The second look on the top right is the Nicolette Dress. Nicolette is a classic cocktail dress that should be included in every fashionista’s closet. The wide variety of colors of the Nicolette Dress is bound to have every sort of fashionista satisfied. The look was paired off with the Nicolette Earrings from the jewelry department at Cachet, designed by Valena Glushenko, as well as the Wilma hair in Jet from MMS Hair and Johannesburg skin in dark from MMS. This coordination is an original, friday night out cocktail dress look.

Above is the Theo blouse in peach from Cachet. It can serve as an excellent around the office blouse. Accessorize the outfit with distinctive pearls from Valena’s department and a short crop hair, and viola, a wonderful simple look is presented for you.

Not only does this collection feature high quality clothing and hair, but it also features new accessories! I was so pleased and satisfied with the new bags released at Cachet. They even include AOs, an addition I feel which was very innovative. These poses and stands are also very elaborate and high quality. Something I really enjoyed about each and every bag released at Cachet were the remarkable textures used on each bag. Whether it is leather, florals, or reptile skin, Minnu and Thora managed to captivate the true essence of high fashion handbags.
