Menswear Fashion Week, June 10-18 2016

So if anyone of you have been wondering what Fordis has been doing all spring, here's your chance to see the amazing set he has created for the MWFW 2016. Let me give you a clue with an old movie quote: "Parigi, as the multilinguals say".

Here are three random thoughts that struck me when I visited the event yesterday and also dropped in at the the fun SL Radio Opening party with DJ Thorn and Esme.

1. My ass is - as always - too fat for Gabriel-pants, but I refuse to change it because it is perfectly perky and plump.

2. Yasum, which is a new brand to me, makes interesting attire in leather.

3. Kilts are naturally always haute couture, I am so going to drop in at Ohiomike's store, Ohio Kilt's, to see what he has been working on.

You can read all about the event here Siren Productions: MWFW 2016 (url), but here is a bit from the press release for this year's event:

"Siren Productions & SCALA along with Designing SL, Dope Magazine, ECLIPSE Magazine, L’HOMME, MENStuff, ModeLS Magazine, SL Live Radio welcome you to Menswear Fashion Week 2016 June 10th-19th, 2016!

At MWFW 2013 - The Shiki Show

Yesterday I took the time to drop in on the Euro Party at The Menswear Fashion Week, unfortunately I was late so it ended within less than 10 minutes of my arrival.

Nevertheless it wasn't a total waste of time because within a few minutes of my arrival at the venue I had the following conversation in Instant Message (IM):

[2013/04/20 14:50]  Lee McKay: Hot av!
[2013/04/20 14:52]  Bock McMillan: Thanks Lee ;) You aren't half-bad yourself? LOL
[2013/04/20 14:52]  Lee McKay: hehehe, thank you :)
[2013/04/20 14:54]  Bock McMillan: It was a real pleasure...
[2013/04/20 14:55]  Lee McKay: I'm having a real pleasure watching you :)

From that excellent start of a beautiful friendship we went on and talked awhile before deciding that we would meet again at the Shiki Show at 3 P.M. SLT and befriended each other.

A shitload of female avatars taking up space

When it was time for the Shiki Show I had huge troubles getting in because the venue was filled with mostly women, as if they don't have 51 out of 52 weeks a year in which to visit fashion shows. It is common knowledge that the ratio between fashion for menswear and womenswear in SecondLife is approximately 1:10,000 or maybe even 1:100,000. I cannot really see the need for women to hog the space and preventing interested male fashionistas from gaining access to the venue.

Lee and I at the Shiki Show

I had a conversation with one of the organizers, the kind and helpful Merrill Genesis, and suggested they raise the number of avatars allowed. Merrill agreed that it would be a good idea, especially as many in the audience were in the low lag icons. (As the obedient Swedish man I am, I had followed the request and had come to the show as a hot bowler hat, while ny new friend Lee - as the rebellious American man he is - totally ignored the request.) Soon after that I did get in on the venue with the help of Merrill and Lee.

The Shiki Show turned out to be a disappointing for me, I saw nothing I would ever wear in the show. All the same I had a good time chatting with Lee and avatar-watching (which is the SecondLife equivalent of people-watching, one of my favorite pastimes in first life).

Menswear Fashion Week 2013

Listen up, all you male fashionistas of every conceivable sexual denomination and subgroup.

The Menswear Fashion Week 2013 is upon us. It started yesterday April 19 and continues through April 27 with a lot of shows and events. For the the calendar, please go here. When there are no shows and events it's all about s-h-o-p-p-i-n-g!

The organizers have this simple request of the visitors: "To keep lag low during the shows, be sure to grab our attendee package, wear the alpha layer, remove all attachments, and select your favorite Menswear Fashion Week Icon to help Derby, Stache and Tie continue their adventures at Menswear Fashion Week 2013. We look forward to seeing you here!"
