Styles of edo full of surprises

Not long ago edo launched his range of shoes and also the beautiful pearl collection of ladies jewellery.
I must admit I am a huge fan of edo's suits and to me a man is not complete unless he has at least one - preferably more of his suits but being in business myself I have long bugged edo to think about making a suit for the ladies.
AND now he has!
The Elegant suit in red is absolutely divine with a soft textured look both jacket and pants show edo Tones skill with fabric. Both suits feature pearlised buttons and come with both normal waist or low rise plus as an added bonus on underpant layer so you can wear them with boots - a definite bonus!
I do know there are not many GOOD ladies business suits out there and edo is the master.
find them for yourself at Styles of edo's main store on TYCHE

Shoes at Styles of Edo!

Edo Tone has released a new set of ladies shoes and I admit to being surprised at just how good they are!
Designed for Styles of Edo by Hays Uriza they are stylish and elegant PLUS the added bonus of decent colour choices!
How many places do red but then do not make a dark red? or browns - so hard to match! with these there are 3 different brown tones to choose from! Perfect!

The EIRIS series can be bought in classic (shown here in brown) Straight (shown in blue) or Cross straps (shown in black) all eminently wearable and stylish to match any outfit most come in 2 widths for a perfect fit.
My Favourite has to be the classic slingback style of ERI shown here in dark red perfect for any occasion.

New are the CYNDI triple strap platforms which look great with pants or business suits! Also going on sale is the MIKI shown above in lake, these are wedge sandals in earth tones from the blue 'lake' shown to earth and seasonal tones.

Check them all out at Styles of Edo, Tyche today!

For weeks I have been waxing lyrical about the Styles of Edo new tuxedo collection. I have told you about the multitude of variations available (Edo himself claims 96 variations, but if you buy the indiviual neck ties etc I am certain you can get more - but NINETY SIX VARIATIONS - and not a bad one amongst them!). I have sung the praises of the details, colours and texturing. I have whispered that Edo is a god among menswear designers.
Weeks ago I was hoping to bring you an article that was most pictures of a selection of the collection, unfortunately computers die, connections fry and things happen - so only now am I able to bring you that article.To end this article I would like to say that there are limitations to SL photography and to the quality levels I can get Blogger to reproduce for me - so this is by way of a teaser - these clothes are a hundred times better in world than I can manage to reproduce here.

I would also like to thank Minty Bachem for modelling (he is also available to escort ladies to any formal event - he even has the wardrobe), also much thanks to Hempy Weezles and Medow5571 Shilova for stepping into the breach when our photographer lost their internet connection leaving us somewhat in the lurch. Great job guys, thank you.

And again, gents, go - add at least one of these tuxedos to your wardrobe - then you too will be helping make SL a prettier place one male avatar at a time.

Rule Fashion Show

There are pro's and cons to a fashion show, the cons are mostly to do with the awful lag which is the curse of most shows. The upside of a fashion show is the pleasure of seeing clothes that the designer thinks are their best new work. When that designer is Edo, of Styles of Edo fame, then suddenly the pluses out weigh any down side. The Rule show, presented by Boulevard Agency was a delightful insight into the Formal collection by Styles of Edo. One thing I did notice, which saddened me, was the audience was more female than male - gentlemen you should be attending shows like this - they really are for your benefit.
As well as the new generation of tuxedos ( which are getting a full, in depth article to themselves later this week - don't miss it), there were examples of his new suits, with the trade mark fine detail which you already know makes me Edos number one fan, bright, bold colours and unique cuts.

There were suits that seem to be inspired by matador "suits of lights", which feature strong colours (I adore the red one) and fine gold embroidery. There were daily suits in striking pastal colours, hard to imagine that lilac can be a bold, strong, masculine colour - and I dare say that most designers couldn't make it work - but Edo not only makes it work but has done it with a style and flair that is unique. Colour in mens suits is a rare thing, but this collection has it, velvety shades of black, rich, dark chocolatey browns, organic greens, lusty reds, pearlescent whites, pulsing purples and playboy pastels all feature. This collection has colours, either in the subtle little touches like cummberbunds, waistcoats (vests for the Americans among you) and stitching, or for the more dashing man who isn't afraid to make a bold statement, in whole jackets of rich, vibrant colours. In real life, only in the very finest Italian designs do colours like this work so well.

And now I am going to wax lyrical about a personal favourite - Edos new tail suit. If ever there was a reason to insist that tail suits are not just for wedding, this suit is it, the flexi tails give movement and the styling would make any man look like a Hollywood movie star. Available in black or "white" (more a pure ivory than white in my opinion) this should be on every mans wish list. Edo's designs make me long for more formal events - really these suits - from the tail coats, to what I would call day suits and everything in between make me long for a ban on tshirts and jeans. Gentlemen - the chances are all the ladies you know have several wonderful formal gowns in their Second Life wardrobe - it's time you caught up - just having one suit and one tuxedo in your inventory is no longer enough - buy more suits, buy cumberbunds and ties to match your partners favourite outfits - revel in the almost lost art of wearing a formal suit with an almost casual grace - the women of Second Life will love you for it and if you follow my advice then your first stop should be to the Styles of Edo store, where your only dilemma will be which suit to buy first.
As well thanking Edo for bringing such wonderful designs to Second Life I also have to thank Dana Vanmoer and Echo Underwood for allowing me to use some of their pictures ( their pictures are the really good ones, in case you are wondering).

Styles of Edo New Release, a sneak preview.

As most of you know I have a special interest in mens clothing, good mens clothing, so I was delighted and excited to be asked to review the new tuxedo collection by Styles of Edo. Edo is justly famous for his wonderful menswear and with this collection he has surpassed himself. In the very near future (touch wood) I will be bringing you a full review of this collection with pictures that come close to doing the clothes justice.
Having said that, no picture can do these clothes justice - Edo is one of the most skilled texture artists/designers on SL, and anyone who doubts that should cam in on someone wearing one of these new tuxedos - there are black details, on black textures which give the clothes depth and feeling. There are paisley waistcoats (vests to our American cousins) which shimmer and shine with subtle, fine detailing. These clothes are very very special - in fact I would say unique.I admit that both I and my model were worried when there was no 'skirt' layer to the jackets, but, (and this is real mastery) these jackets do not have the sprayed on look that some of us have come to dread, they actually look like they should.

When I do the full review it will involve more details and LOTS of pictures but this collection is too good to only have one review. Styles of Edo have surpassed their usual high standards and. as someone who adores a well dressed male avatar, I, for one, thank them. If god is in the detail these clothes are truly divine. Gentlemen, I tell all of my clients they should own at least one decent tuxedo on SL, now I can amend that, every male avatar should own at least one (and good luck deciding which one - the variations are many and each better than the last) Tuxedo by Styles of Edo.

At the Bellagio

Last night saw me at the Bellagio Since I knew Edo Tone was showing his Tuxedo collection, plus I am always looking for ideas for my own wedding dress.
They really know how to put on an event here, Edo's suits were worn to perfection my special favourite the classic tailcoat (shown on the right):
The Tailcoat is the "King of formal wear." The Styles of Edo tailcoat is made from a fine worsted wool fabric with the trademark waist-length jacket and classic flexi-tails. According to the international formal dress rules, this evening coat with matching simple, black, worsted wool pants also has a crisp white wingtip collar shirt, an elegant white bow tie and matching white vest. Simple and refined, the tailcoat is worn at the most formal occasions. Suitable for an audience with royalty or for the most formal wedding or event, this is the evening coat that sets you apart as a discriminating, proper gentleman.
Styles of edo is nominated for Best Male Fashion Label at the Merovingi Fashion Awards, I will certainly be voting for him! Click the link above to add your support to this talented designer.

The exquisite gowns of Kimmera Madison of Tres Beau certainly complimented Edo Tones suits.
What a talented lady.
The detail in these dresses is stunning. From simple elegance to extravagant huge trains, even launching a a special edition gown called Bellagio (shown on the main news page), named for the fabulous Bellagio hotel and sim. A cinderella inspired gown of Taffeta and lace. Loads of layering, bows and flower accents. The Headpiece consists of pearls and flowers and a flowing lace veil. The dress also converts to a corset set with stockings and panties for the honeymoon !!For the fairytale bride with a naughty side choose Bellagio!!!!
The dress that especially caught my eye had to be Vivienne (shown far left), named after Kimmera's Mother. A traditional gown in Ivory Satin trimmed with Ivory lace. The embroidery on the bodice extends down into the full skirt and continues around to the train.
The dress itself is beautifully designed, but the reason it caught my eye is that it is an almost exact replica of the dress I myself married in 10 years ago in RL. I have to congratulate Kimmera on a design that is as beautiful today as it was then.
