Jonathan Hugo is one of my favorite new designers in SL (no secret, I know). I guess given how fast fashion moves here, he’s not really considered brand spanking new anymore, but I said when I first blogged Fuse back in the autumn that I thought his designs would be filling up many folders in my inventory over time. And they did.

Jonathan recently released several separates for both men and women, as well as a women’s suit - and as usual, my favorites were the tops. Seen above and below are the “Candy” top separates in three springy color combinations and available on the jacket layer. I definitely think beach in these - which is welcome, given I live in the cold Northeast US and it’s February.

My favorite release is actually supposed to be for the men (men’s jeans were also released) - but I love the hand drawn tie on these “Oxford” v-neck sweaters, which come in four colors on the jacket layer. My hair is new from Truth called, “Deux” which is a perfect low pony tail that I love (and asked him to make). It comes with a color change bow, that you can also make transparent (as below) on touch and menu. I am wearing it in the panama color, but Truth just redid his textures and there are now so many more colors to choose from.

See more…

The rest of the Oxford colors and a look at a few of the bow options on Deux. I know a lot of women prefer a less “my boyfriend’s sweater” look - but personally, I love it.

The suit is “Metro,” also recently released. It comes in four colors with jacket, skirt base and flexi skirt with lace underlay. If you’re into the drawn details, you’ll love the hand drawn collar, finished cuffs and stitching detail on the back of the jacket. I usually prefer less skin shown with a suit, but in this case, I love it and you can always use the jacket over a shirt/underlayer combination if you want to mix it later. The skirt is easy to adjust, so those petite avs among you may need to move the skirt down a bit to get the best fit.

Check them all out at Fuse.
