RL Fashion Institute Gives Classes in SL!

Exciting news! RL Fashion Training Institute Accademia Montenapoleone in Milan has opened in SL and has started giving fashion classes in the virtual world. The classes will be about RL fashion and design, as well as about branding and making clothes in SL. The college is set in the beautiful Montenapoleone sim, and you can tp to the classroom here.




The first class was given on 8th April by Prof. Manuela Rubertelli (in her Avatar form Mikado Rubble). In her talk, Prof. Rubertelli covered the RL textile fairs that have recently taken place over Europe from which designers will pick their fabrics for the Spring/Summer 2009 collections. From these fairs we can already get an idea of the catwalk themes for next year.

The talk was very interesting and several themes were brought to attention, in terms of colours, fabrics and patterns. The main focus of the talk was on the tropical fish theme, with colours inspired by nature.

I look forward to many more exciting classes at the Accademia. For more information, please see the class organiser and sim owner, Shiryu Musashi's blog.

Until next time, Chez Geo xxx
