Bellagio, monthly designer showcase.

Last week saw the monthly, designer Showcase at Bellagio.
With Premiere Modeling Management we were brought the original designs of Italian- american, Thera Taurog, of Lady Thera's, and Luriel Jewell, of Liberte.

Lady Thera's art and Fashion, is getting to be recognized, not only in Italian SL, but all over Second Life, because her designs are original and different. The dresses are interpretations of works-of-art from the great masters, Renoir, Miró, Cezanne, Van Gogh and Jackson Pollok.

One of my personal favourites is Gustav Klimt's, the Portrait of Adele. Thera took the golden textures of Klimt's painting and placed it on this extremely rich double prim flexi skirt.See the reds and blues that will appear under the old gold as you walk. Everrything is combined with the top and the scarf, made of shiny silk.Portrait of Adele is a treasure for you to wear on your most Special Second life moments. I loved the pure cheekiness of Andy Warhol's Fashion Art Tomato Soup Top and pants. The top is part of the Great Painters Collection and comes with an unframed copy of the original work of art and a brief note from Wikipedia about salvador dali, as did all the outfits shown.

Then we were delighted by the designs of Luriel Jewell of Liberte, my pick of the ones shown? Her ballgown version of Lucienne in red, it is an exclusive dress, trimmed with beautiful, shimmering gold roses and beaded embroidery. The embroidery can be seen throughout the entire design, allowing the material to fall regally and softly downward. The three different skirt lengths that accompany this exclusive design make it versatile enough for any occasion. (the first dress on the left of the image shown) I also loved the cocktail length (not shown).

Luriel showed a great diversity from full length gowns to business suits and dresses, perfect for the modern sl business woman, but also other designs that were soft and alluring certainly a shop designer I will be looking out for in the near future.

A great show once again the ladies of Premiere, Modeling Management did a great job with all the models appearing in the show personally trained by Wyntir Jewell, winner of the January JCNY Model Search contest, in the Academy, with the help of Image Consultant Gemini Galatea.
