One on one interview with Masoom TRPH4

Hello Amberchaudry Corpur, thanks for accepting to let us interview you in the light of The runway Perfect hunt edition 4.

MB: Hi, Can you tell us a bit about yourself? When did you join SL and how long did it take before you start creating?

AC: I joined Sl in 2010, 01/10/2010 to be exact, One of my friends from facebook was using it and asked me to check it out, so I decided to give it a go, i absolutely loved the user interface and the friendly people that I met on the very rezz day, But after a few days of roaming here and there and doing free shopping i felt very bored and left sl for a long long time. Then once on you tube I found a video tutorial from someone guiding how to make clothes in SL, and I was hooked to the idea. I came back to SL to try my designing ability and see how it goes and never looked back

MB: To those who don’t know your store yet, What kind of creations do you offer in your store?

AC: [[ Masoom ]] Offers a wide variety of male and female clothes, and also a unique collection of poses for men and women. I have tried my hand on tattoos and I am sure I would launch some of those in near future

MB: Can you tell us, what it meant for you when mesh appeared in SL, as a designer?

AC: I love to experiment with new stuff and I was really excited about mesh to be honest. I always hated the limited nature of prims and sculpts  in clothes for SL . Mesh for designers I think is a blessing , its beautiful to wear and easy to make. Win win for all I say.

MB: Is there any designer in SL and/or RL that inspired you to want to create? Do you have any mentor?

AC: Not really, I do follow many of Real life trendy designers to get some inspiration, But no one is my mentor so far, I came back to SL after I found out that people are able to make their own stuff. I am Asian , and I could not find much stuff related to my culture I made things for myself at first. And friends recommended I should start sharing or selling .. I just listened to them.

MB: If you could only choose 1 outfit from your store, which one is your top favorite or has a special meaning for you?

AC: I would easily name ” Mia Gown ” , Reason for that is that it is the first ever thing i actually made for a second life fashion show , and is a designer inspiration. I never follow a single designer and always make my own unique stuff, but it was fun following the rule of the show and trying to follow a great RL designer. The gown is a John Galliano inspiration, and I did it for charity FFL 2013 show.

MB: Beside designing, what are your other passions in SL?

AC: I am very picky when it comes to friends, and I have very few of them, When I am not working , or i am overworked and don’t want to work lol, I always hang out with them. Catching up with them or just standing there and talking to them is always fun and very refreshing and much needed every once in a while. Besides that I love to explore sims, second life has so much creativity it always manages to  amaze me.

MB: What did SL bring into your life?

AC: Sl brought a lot in my life, I found a passion, being an SL designer is very much like being an Rl designer. I have gained a lot of skills, learned stuff to make that can actually even help me in my real life. This experience can help me even run a similar business in real life. I found friends here that i can easily die for. I found love and happiness. Sl gave me everything anyone can ever ask for. I am thankful to that person who recommended me to try it out

MB: What would you like to tell to those reading us right now? (the floor is yours)

AC: I would only say always have faith in yourself. There are always times when we are being de-motivated or feel we can not do what we want to , what we need is faith and sincerity to self. And nothing can stand in our way.

MB: thank you so much for answering my questions and letting other get to know you a little more.

AC: Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to connect with others on a level different than usual work related stuff lol.. thank you so much for having me.

TRPH3 interview with Boniefacio for Dot BE Fashion

I am glad to present you our first male designer of this edition, which not only is funny and talented but also one of the lucky one to be able to say they were a Mr Virtual World contestant, MR. V♛ BELGIUM 2012. His creations are stylish, and i urge all models to go by his store, his name is Boniefacio from the store Dot BE Fashion.

Hello Boniefacio! Thanks for taking the time out to talk with us.

MB: You have a lovely brand. Tell us the story about how your store came to be.

BR: Well i started in the MVW competition and we had to do different stylings. I then began to build my outfit for cubism and was thinking hey, what if i bring some of my idea’s into sl … and so i did. And since i’m from Belgium the name Dot BE Fashion Is a reference to Belgium.

MB: Is there a gender you prefer clothes for the most?

BR: Well i prefer making clothing for both, so i don’t really have a preference. Although its not easy and i have to change into a female form to get all the designs right and see if they match.

MB: Are you the type of designer that constructs clothes spontaneously or do you sketch our your pieces before hand?

BR: Well most of the times i base my clothes on rl designs and art. I try to bring the rl fashion into sl. My latest collection comes from the runway and from Burberry, but sometimes i wake up at night, take my pen and paper and start to write ideas on it. My new collection that’s coming out after my fashion show will be based on fall/winter.

MB: Would you ever consider teaching others the skill of designing?

BR: I could consider this, but i think designing has to be inside of you. Its an art or like a dj. You can teach someone to sketch stuff or to mix music but if the feeling is not within the person you can teach as much as you can there will be no result.

MB: Describe a designing horror story (such as a certain piece coming out completely wrong from what you imagined), if any?

BR: I was working on my pieces for my fashion show that’s coming up 27 October and i had such a great design in my head until i brought it into sl and i was what am i thinking this doesn’t look right. After 2h of prims adjusting and texturing i decided to delete the entire stuff and start with something else.

MB: Use three words to describe your design aesthetic.

BR: Bring some art in to fashion casual and formal … o o that’s more then three words.

MB: If you could collaborate and make a brand with any designer on Second Life, who would it be?

BR: Yasum Designs, Azlyn makes fantastic outfits and handmade mesh. She is a wonderful, understanding and straight forward women.

MB: What’s in the future for Dot-Be Fashion?

BR: Well i hope Dot-be Fashion is going to stay and grow further in sl and on 27 October i’m going to show my new collection at 2pm. With some great models that will fill the stage and with 1 surprise … nah I’m not saying what it is. But i will say everyone is invited and they can send me a notecard to get a personal invite.

A special thanks to my personal assistant, Angexx Quandry who created this interview for me.

TRPH3 interview with Kyra Camel of Baboom

Thanks to Wicca Merlin who did the german-english translation, i was able to do an interview with a wonderful lady who creates beautiful clothes for Baboom. Her clothes both mesh and else are handmade, which makes it so much more special. Meet Kyra Camel.

Hello Kyra, thank you very much for allowing us to get to know you better through a couple of questions.

MB: What was your Second Life like since your beginning until you started designing?

KC: I am in SL since 2007. There was advertising in the TV for SL and I was very curious what I could do and what would be possible in SL. On the TV spot as well they said “with building you can earn money”… In the beginning it was not easy to get used to SL and it’s functions, like how to built, whats a viewer and much more. What I learned first was “Go to Jazz Clubs and meet people”. With that I found my first contacts in the Phats Cats club. I was roaming around through different clubs, dancing , flirting and having fun. With all this first contacts I made, I learned how SL works, how to built and I got a lot of great advices.

MB: When did you start creating in Second Life and what made you decide to become a designer in Second Life?

KC: After being 3 month in SL i started looking more and more about clothing. I am a passionate stitcher in SL and so i had a few visions, which got stopped by the way SL buidling works. In the beginning i tried to use full perm items to make my outfits as I was not able to use graphic programs like photoshop or any of those. But I was never satisfied with what i found and so I tried to find other possibilities and found Gimp. I was working hard to understand Gimp and how to make my own layers. It took some time and during this process I lost my temper and nerve. In 2008 i started over and made tried to design fantasy dresses. In the beginning of 2011 I went back to casual and formal gowns… kinda the regular fashion

MB: What do you enjoy doing in Second Life when you are not in creation mode??

KC: At the moment i like to travel around and look for wonderful created sims like Artscreamer and such. Sometimes i like to RP too and write my blogs or foll around in Facebook. AS well i like little browser games to fill some free time.

MB: Can you tell our readers what we can we expect to find in your store?

KC: At the moment woman’s fashion, dresses for all occasions, casual, formal and some accessories and shoes.

MB: You do mesh clothing along with *normal* clothing, which do you prefer and why??

KC: Mesh… i learn to to my own mesh prims and a few to sell already. But i still like the “old” stuff like prims and sculpties, even if i like mesh and sculpties the most To mix mesh and layer with flexible prims is a very interesting thing for me right now. I think a flexi skirt or accessories can add a nice touch to an outfit. So to speak i have no special favor, I think all of the together make it

MB: If we were to ask your friends what they think of you, what do you think they would say?

KC: Hmm, *smiles* good question! I think i would love to know that too!*laughs* I think everyone will see me different and it is very difficult to guess what people would say about me. I hope it would be something like “kind, helpful and stable”

MB: Could you tell us something we don’t know about you and that you would wish to share?

KC: I will keep learning, anyways if mesh or what ever will come. I will always try to improve myself with textures, mesh and all what i can get a hold of as i am never satisfied with my self. So stay tuned what will come

MB: Any last message for the readers?

KC: i wish you all a wonderful time and an exciting hunt. Happy Hunting

Thank you for sharing this moment with us.

TRPH3 interview with Malicia Python of Silken Moon

I had the chance to get an interview with a special skin and makeup creator. I had heard of her store so many times but cannot remember the last time i went there. But theses are wonderful, offered in even many skin colors, not only normal skin tones. A big thank you to Wicca Merlin who allowed this interview to be possible, being the translator, as i speak French and English but not German. This Designer is Malicia Python from Silken Moon

Hello Malicia, thank you very much for allowing us to get to know you better through a couple of questions.

Hi Morgane, thank you so much for your interest

MB: How did you discover Second Life, and why did you decide to join?

MP: The first time I heard about SL was actually professional, I heard that some companies had a bad time trying to use the game for advertising. A lot later I was curious about how to be a vampire there – seems I liked it.

MB: At which moment did you start thinking of doing creations in Second Life?

MP: I always loved skins, but had no idea how they were made. I stumbled over a set of templates and really got hooked actually making all the skins I could not find.

MB: Did you have a background in graphic art prior to Second Life?

MP: Only „passively“ I am a copywriter, means I work with designers. So I got a bit about how to make things look good and what Photoshop can do.

MB: Can you tell our readers what we can we expect to find in your store?

MP: I picked the name Silken Moon for the different aspects that conglomerate in my work. The aim for beauty (Silken) combines with imagination (Moon). So you find Vampiresses, dead aristocrats and fantasy characters next to drama queens and 60s girls.

When I thought about a claim for Silken Moon, it was „Skins with character“. I want them to have an attitude – conveying the idea I had making them.

MB: What inspires you when you create skins and makeup?

MP: Any idea can be the ignition for a new face. A bit of tartan became a punk girl, a book about a 20s girl resulted in creating the Flappers. I see my girls as characters, so even their makeup is unique, matching how I feel they would fancy up for an occasion.

MB: You started to make mesh clothing, what do you love most about mesh?

MP: The way it is to be textured. I hate working on the system clothes for all the seams and stretching when rendered onto an avi. Mesh allows so much more there. And it is a nice change to stare at something not flesh-coloured at times,

MB: If you could have 1 skin you made to have in real life, no matter the skin colors, which one would it be?

MP: Oh thats a tough one. If worn as my own skin, I guess it would be one of the Minas. For ages I have always worn the newest skin I made but I got stuck with Mina as she has a lot of me. If I could just wear it in turns with my normal mug, it would be Clawdia, the angry vampire. Let‘s scare some kids .

MB: Could you tell us something we don’t know about you and that you would wish to share?

MP: Did you know my skins pick their own names when I make them? At some point, a becomes a persona, that is when a name flashes into my mind – as if they told me.

MB: Anything else you wish to tell our readers?

MP: As I will not make any acceptance speeches soon, I‘d like to thank all the people who gave me feedback – esp. honest criticism, encouragement and lovely compliments on my work. And my friends who bore with my follies and rants and helped in so many ways.

Thank you for sharing this moment with us.
