Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ve heard about Second Life’s Relay for Life. The Relay is SL’s big charity drive for the American Cancer Society, and this year it kicked off with a huge clothing fair that began this past Monday. Today, we’re going to talk about the RFL Clothing fair, including the fashion shows taking place during the fair. We’re also going to talk about another show coming up that we hope will be the start of an exciting series!
The Relay for Life Clothing Fair has a four sim layout, whose concept was envisioned by Pips Fetid and Nevar Lobo, with all four sims donated by the Rezzable Group. The sims are organized into four seasons with corresponding landscaping for each season. Shopping is around the edges and the fashion show stage is in the middle.
Over 80 designers are involved in this year’s clothing fair including: Tuli, Nicky Ree, Icing, Dark Eden, Callie Cline, Mischief, Bare Rose, Nyte n’ Day, Persona, Vitamin Ci, Maitreya, Draconic Kiss, and Silent Sparrow, among others. About half of the designers are selling something that they made especially for the Relay, though all the designers are contributing to the cause.
With four sims, there is less lag, but still be considerate and cut down on your prims and scripted objects! Also, remember that the last day of the fair is Sunday March 23rd, so get shopping! There will be live music, treasure hunts, and three huge fashion shows!
Tomorrow, Thursday March 20th at 2pm SLT, there will be a show featuring designers from the Autumn and Winter sims, produced by the Atlantis Modeling Agency. On Sunday, March 23rd at 2 pm SLT, ASpiRE! will be producing a show featuring designs from the Spring and Summer sims.
On Saturday March 22 10am and again at 2pm SLT, the RFL Showcase Show will feature outfits from over forty designers. All outfits shown are done to benift Relay for Life and will be sold at the Fair 100% profit for RFL. This show is produced by FACES, known for innovative and interesting shows. This show will have an interesting format, but you’ll have to go and see it for yourself because I can’t tell you about it here. I’ve been sworn to secrecy! Come to see me model and hear Daphne and our friend TheDiva Rockin comment on the show. Be sure to check out the FACES blog for more information.

Don’t think that there are no more fashion shows in the works after the RFL clothing fair ends! On March 29 at 2 pm SLT, [ida] (Imagen Divine Agency) will be presenting their Mash-up show, featuring pieces from some of SL’s major designers as well as some up-and-coming designers. This is a new concept show where models will walk the runway in mixed and matched pieces by several designers, as well as pieces from models’ own inventories.
I attended meeting for this right show after recording Stylecast Episode 23 on mixing and matching with Haver Cole. Had I been paying attention to the blogs more carefully, I could have mentioned this show on that episode. In any case, the ladies at [ida] have had this show in the works for a while and it should be lots of fun! For more information on what [ida] is up to, visit their website.
