I attended the very well produced launch of the new Glam Magazine today. There were nearly a dozen designers presented in all, including the highly anticipated Paper Couture Spring line, gorgeous new footwear from Maitreya (seriously, amazing), and a new clothing line from Thora Charron and MM Skins!

I crashed promptly after these photos, but here’s a glimpse of what we can expect to see from Paper Couture. In typical PC fashion, it is wearable art. Please, forgive the unrezzed or unclear - my computer actually blue screened after crashing and these are straight from SL with no processing. I expect many others have far better snaps than these, which I expect we’ll see soon.

I don’t do a ton of hats in SL because editing hair to fit under them (if they’re not sold together), can be a long process for me. But the hats recently released from MG Fashion are a lot easier to fit - as they come in multiple sizes that you can start from to get the best fit. For some of the hats I’m blogging, I started with the small size and fit different hairs around it. I’ll also recommend some of the hairs that worked best for me based on these hats.

One thing I will say for hats, both offline and on, is that they can inspire a whole look - from head to toe. A lot of the time I start with shoes and build upwards - in this case, it all began with a cap.

The skins I am wearing in all these snaps are new from Canimal. I love the variety in make-ups, which are both broad and wearable every day. Cani’s new “Essence” skins come in 5 tones with 9 available make-ups. The branding is also very clever - every tone is named after an “essence of femininity” (Grace, Charm, Mystery, Lust and Charisma), and the make-ups each named, “…of Roses” or “…Snow”, etc. Most of all, they are so, so beautiful - and below is my favorite (so far) “…of Roses” in the Charm tone. Each skin is only $800L!

The cap is the “Ivy Cap Plaid 1″ - scripted on touch to change colors with 12 options! I paired it with ETD Paula II, slightly edited.
