Today NWN style correspondent Iris Ophelia discusses virtual fashion on the blog of Johanna Blakley, the USC media and fashion expert who gave an inspiring and widely-discussed talk at the prestigious TED conference this Spring. Johanna is a big advocate of Second Life as a testing grounds for real world fashion, and Iris (Janine Hawkins IRL) offers some keen insights on the state of the fashion scene there. Samples:
- Alexander McQueen is the most respected real life designer in Second Life.
- Anthropologie and Miu Miu are among the most influential RL fashion/shoe brands in SL.
- Armani's attempt to launch a presence in Second Life was a big fail.
Read the rest here. Johanna Blakley is a hugely influential figure in the world of real world fashion, so I'm bursting with pride that she talked with Iris to learn more about the world of virtual fashion. Read much more of Iris' coverage of Second Life fashion here, and her coverage on Blue Mars fashion here.
