A Night of Beauty as Danielle Celebrates the Third Anniversary

The program put together for this fashion show really had a flair for the dramatic and creative, and did an amazing job of making the clothing and its designer really shine.

The theme mirrored the red carpet time prior to an awards show. With the golden statues at both ends of the runway, the allusion to the Oscars boldly set the evening's tone.

Glitz and Hollywood glam could be used to describe the designer herself, Dani Plassitz, and every creation that appeared as a result of her talent echoed that beautifully.

Ms. Violet...

Mr. Bonie (Liam one of UEMA's many models present stands to his right and in the background)...

and Ms. Anika... all worked together as Co-Owners of the Ultimate Exposure Modeling Agency (UEMA) were present and each had a significant part in making sure this show did well.

Several of UEMA's female models were seen through the evening like Ms. Delinda seen in a floral pattern and blue...

Ms. Dreamlove shown in brilliant red, an egyptian-like look, and a classic formal...

Ms. Sessie had a unique gown with the right half ultra formal black layers and the left semi bare with gold to accent the dramatic difference, and her other gown reminded me of a flower garden...

Ms. Jessilyn showed off an array of beautiful colors, burgundy, deep purple and a flowing pink that almost looked magical...

Ms. Sienna showed a mauve gown and later came out with an elegant rich red...

Ms. SD walked through the evening in red with white lace, a pale grey, and then finished the evening off as she walked into the 'awards' show wearing the showstopping wedding gown.

The theme was clever. Male models were used everywhere on the set to add relevance to the notion that we in the audience really were privy to the unveiling of the brilliant designs presented by Danielle and UEMA. And for those who could not wait for the show to end to capture one or more of the delightful displays, all around the perimeter of the set were vendors. You could grab a loved creation the moment you saw it. Overall, this whole production from beginning to end was 'Awesomesauce!' as I like to say.

UEMA Fashion Show for VCB Designs

This weekend, Saturday November 17 at 3 p.m. SLT, UEMA will host a fashion show for VCB Designs.

If you've never seen a fashion show orchestrated by UEMA, you should make time to visit and see what they do. They design the set in such a way that the audience is drawn into the event and the clothes on the runway have a terrific platform to be showcased. It all works together magnificently. Come and see the best of VCB Designs on Saturday!

UEMA Presents Dot BE Fashion by BonieFacio

This evening the Ultimate Exposure Modeling Agency & Academy (UEMA) hosted an excellent display of BonieFacio's Dot BE Fashion's autumn and winter collection.

Bonie has such a positive reputation in the fashion world, making his way through several incredible modeling schools including the MVW Academy. He's been Mr. VW Belgium. Currently, he's working with several modeling agencies in positions of leadership and/or facilitation of modeling classes to pass on his experiences to the next generation of aspiring models.

It came as no surprise to me that he'd founded his own business, and molded his personal fashion niche in the world of SL Fashion - Dot-B Fashion. It was enjoyable to see the show that featured many of his newest designs suited for the fall and winter seasons.

Ms. Violet Freak (violetcrush.bravin), owner of UEMA and Ms. Nakia Decosta, COO of UEMA both attended this event.

A selection of clothing for both men and women were presented.

Each item had been purposefully designed with a noticeable theme, a cohesive collection by someone who knew what he wanted and created it.

There was literally a little taste of everything for everyone's enjoyment.

If you like chic casual wear, there's something for you in this collection.

If you want something with a bit more structure, maybe appropriate for important business, there's a little of that as well.

Before the show got underway, I peeked behind the scenes and fell in love with this jacket and scarf set, just one of many designs created for men that were present at the show. And as I shared with some of the models while we waited for things to get rolling, I tend to wear what I like and ignore gender boundaries in Second Life.

This unique black dress certainly added a twist to the LBD with bright accessories that would make certain you stood out in any setting as the belle of the ball.

Ponchos are hot, hot, hot! this season on runways from Paris to Tokyo and on this runway tonight as well. Instead of being relegated to outerwear, however, many designers are adding ponchos as separates, to wear without a shirt below it.

Even the most stylish outfit looks comfortable and easy to wear and style. I've come to realize that's a sign of good texturing and use of light and shadow. If something is too 'flat' in Second Life, it looks dull and lifeless. If it's got three dimensions, it comes alive.

One of my favorite pieces of the evening probably seemed a simple accessory, but the right accessory at the right moment makes a bold statement. When this model appeared in the grey suit with a basic black blindfold on, I was attentive immediately.

Another poncho from this collection offers a softer appeal to a more delicate female aesthetic (while the dark green one shown earlier is a warm and assertive tone). 

Patterns, textures, light and shadow, layers and creativity all had their mark on the Dot-Be Fashion show. Mr. Boniefacio may be relatively new to the design business, but his work looked polished and interesting. It made me want to see more, and that's always a good thing.
