I'm pining for Iris Ophelia's Gaze, New World Notes' erstwhile style column, but alas, Iris is currently occupied by offline demands. Hopefully she'll be back soon, but until then, here's an experiment in crowd-sourced fashion blogging:
In Comments, tell me about your favorite SL fashion item this summer (and be sure to name the creator.)
If I detect a clear preference in the discussion thread, I'll devote some blog coverage to the most popular item(s), certainly not as stylishly as Ms. Ophelia, but at least a pleasant switch of pace for me. (Image from Iris' 2007 Summer in Second Life Fashion Spread.)
I think it'd have to be the Nalin shirt from Zaara Kohime (store name: Zaara). Wonderful patterns and texture palette with well-done sculpts to give a very casual, on-the-beach look for guys. Combined with the capris she sells separately and it's a complete winner.

My favourite fashion item is my Koi skin from Trap. The skin is stunning and can turn the wearer into a piece of walking art (strangers have IM'd me to say just that).
It's heavily patterned from top to toe and came with an optional set of underwear that continue the pattern while making the skin PG. This makes it very flexible in that I can wear it with next to nothing else, or with clothes that covers everything except my face and still have a tunning look.
