The runway event is the culmination of the three day long final exam for the Miss Virtual World Academy's final exam.  The exam, MVW 105, is taught by Frolic Mills and the judges are MVW faculty and/or other experienced models or designers.



This assignment this time: Alexand McQueen 2014 Couture--Elizabethan influenced outfit and a runway walk with 3-5 poses done over 30 seconds.

"Mix match and recreate....If I look at you and it looks like Alexander McQueen designed that...."

The final product:

Alexander McQueen 2014 Couture, Elizabethan-influenced

▬▶ CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES

The process: Went jumping around to [SyS] men's, NYU for the Ryan jacket demo, Solidea to look at headpieces. Then Boudoir for head pieces and Ricielli for shoes.  Nada.  Looked through my Period/Vintage notecard and also Fantasy/Gor notecards.  Checked Wunderlich for Elizabethan but everything was too historical, not McQueen enough.

Finally searched Marketplace for 'head piece' and discovered the Rho dress Aliza Karu and went to look.  The headpiece was all white but modifiable so had found the first and hardest element.

Used gold leaf texture to mod about 60 prims on the headpiece to the right shades of gold.  And for the inner lining of the headpiece, a white brocade

For the white dress, used 'Lady in White' from Violator:

Photographer and model: Wicca Merlin

And for gold cuffs/bracelets: VIOLATOR 'Just a Formality' Gold bangles

Couldn't find a pleated or brocaded corset I liked to to get a Tudor look, used a gold metal corset from The Plastic  "The Achilles."  Borrowed a brocade effect from the Leda gown from deviousMind and finished with white hose and ankle boots from Bax Coen.

▬▶ BODY


HAIR
To get the hair, used an unusual hair base from MiaMai which has a nice part and from Amacci, the Betsy hair bun (retinted and resized) to fit up under the headpiece

NAILS
Mesh V5 Nails from Jamman shifted to gold.

SHAPE
Because it is a system skirt, had to shift the butt to size 0 but still ran into a problem with the Achilles Corset from The Plastic.  It's mesh but without an alpha.  To keep the skirt from clipping through, ended up having to set saddle bags to 0 as well. Pushed breast size to 48 to fill the corset.

EYES
'Surprise' bleached white eyes

SKIN
League Isla skin in pale
