Primal Elegance Jewelry Installation in Shengri La Second Life

Posted on May 18, 2009 by | Comments Off
Saturday, May 16, a dozen models displayed a dozen exquisite sets of jewelry at the Primal Elegance jewelry installation in Second Life at the Fashion Research Institute’s Shengri La estate.  This unique installation was developed expressly for the purpose of displaying the artistry of jewelry designers in the Fashion Research Institute’s emerging avatar apparel designer program.  Designed and developed by CEO Shenlei Winkler (Shenlei Flasheart in Second Life), this set sizzled with seductive glamor, and kept an entranced audience packing the estate for over two hours.  See why in this elegant clip.

Twelve lovely ladies bedecked with opulent jewels in a darkly seductive set showcase the exceptional work of Fashion Research Institiute Marketplace designers Yoona Mayo (cocoon), Tiffy Vella (Eclectica), and Rosie Barthelmess (Sable Rose).
