I went in world early this morning, before the scheduled downtime, with a few other clothes projects in mind, not necessarily Japanese-inspired this time. I know myself, I can be a very versatile person, and there are moments when I truly need to do “something else”, in order to be able to go back more easily and with more inspiration and efficiency to my primary domain of activity, so to say. And thus, I took back two suits I had started creating some time ago already, and improved them a bit.
It’s of course a very different kind of fashion. More classical maybe, closer to the “casual” type of clothing one can find in various shops in Second Life… I would have worked on these clothes for myself anyway – when a shirt or dress idea springs to mind, I don’t ask myself too many questions, I craft it, period – so it’s not like I was forcing myself into something I didn’t feel like doing. I’m not sure of where exactly I’ll be going with that. I don’t intend it to be “my” speciality, nor a very high-quality type of clothing; actually, I’m even very tempted to simply make it an affordable, entry-game line of clothes, for those who like nice and simple outfits.
Even though I didn’t have too much time for it, I looked for a few more places to sell my little things. I had been thinking of Centre Ville, which is a nice market, and I could find there a free spot for a little display. Then, incidentally – because it was one of the sims still available this morning, in fact! – I stumbled upon the Ebisu Galleria and Events Center, which also offer stalls to rent, and for a very affordable price. This will be all for the moment, I think, but it gives me even more to look forward to. I like this feeling! And I liked working offline on the display for my first ets of non-Japanese clothing.
I found a name for my oriental line of clothes too – “Aozora” (which means “blue sky”, is easy to remember, and can be written with a nice kanji I like). I may use it for all my clothes need, maybe, I’m not sure yet – it’s just that it’d make things easier for me to sort, one “unique” shop with two lines maybe. I’ll see. It’s still very new, thus it may still change a lot.
