After taking the designs of Mrs Jones into the virtual world, RRR (via their Virtual World site SpaceThinkDream), are now travelling in the opposite direction with the launch of Future Fashion 04 – a competition to find new design talent in a virtual world and catapult them onto the physical catwalks of New York and London (let's hope they land a little more elegantly than you do when dropped from a great height in SL).
Categories are: Sports Wear, Evening Wear and Avant Garde – so sharpen you pixels.
Just in case anyone thinks there is a conspiracy – there is!
I’m one of the judges.
Sounds like a great opportunity for some new designers to make a name for themselves and nothing speaks more directly to the idea of virtual worlds as potential sites of RL careers.
I wonder how the fashion industry will receive this. The low-art stigma of gaming may cause them to turn up their collective noses. Or they could be wowed by the trendy techi-ness of it all.
Let me know when the New York show is scheduled.
