Crimson Shadow

I recently attended a fashion show featuring new releases from Crimson Shadow - the collaborative effort between designers for Rezzable - the creative company behind such sims as Greenies and Carnival of Doom. Not only was the show incredibly well produced, the clothing from designers Allegory Malaprop, hyasynth Tiramisu, Draconic Lioncourt, Kaeli Candour, and Moxie Polano, was stunning. Items shown at the event are available at both the Crimson Shadow and the Carnival of Doom sims.

I headed out to purchase a few of the items I saw on the runway. Admittedly, these are styles that I don’t wear on a regular basis, which actually made it a lot more fun.

If you haven’t yet visited the Carnival of Doom sim, the backdrop for a few of the snaps here, it’s brilliant and you must go when you have an hour to play around. You’ll absolutely want to use Windlight if possible.

If you make a wrong move at the Carnival (be sure to wear your HUD), you’ll soon find yourself in Hell. But it’s not fire and brimstone, it’s elevator music and bad decor. The only way out is to wear your balloon and wait your turn. Luckily, I found another sinner there - Woo Soon.

You do finally get out and it’s anyone’s guess what might be beyond that door.

See more…

Heading to the big top wearing, “Black Latex and Top Hat” by Moxie Polano (who is working on a new brand under the label Haute Style & Co.). I couldn’t get one of the underlayers to rez in Windlight, but you can see the whole outfit (which comes with boots) below.

The price is quite steep at $1000L, but I really wanted this when I saw it at the show. In fact, most of the items I priced were between $450-1200L. This ensemble comes with top hat, jacket, camisole, panties, sculpted shoulders, feather boa, gloves, stockings, a cane, and boots. Given all the options and accessories included, it’s worth it. Even if this isn’t your every day look, it’s so much fun to wear and incredibly well executed.

The next outfit is “Laure” by Draconic Lioncourt, which comes with corset, shirt, bra and panties, sculpted sleeves, gloves, flexi skirt with gorgeous lace texture, and mismatched tights. It’s priced at $650L, so you can see why I made sure I picked my favorites to show you. Though it’s true you don’t often see me venture into goth fashion, I surely intend to make use of the skirt and corset in other ways. They’re fantastic.

My skins in both snaps are more from Tuli’s S5 line, set to be released February 7, and I thought them perfect for the Crimson Shadow releases.

The outfit that truly took my breath away was this wedding gown, also by Moxie. I didn’t purchase it, but I did take this snap of the stunning gown at the event. I believe the top hat is sculpted (as is the hat in the outfit I am wearing above) - so it’s much less “boxy” than other top hats I have seen. I think it’s quite spectacular all around.

Visit Crimson Shadow (there’s so much more to see).
