AVENUE Models, in partnership with Fashioncentric, is proud to invite you to participate in the pioneering event of Spring Fashion 2012 : MIX + MESH.

AVENUE Models has been part of Second Life for over 4 years and our goal, as Second Life evolves, is to grow with it. Mesh technology is now available gridwide in Second Life and the implementation of this feature is a breakthrough that has already opened the way to new creative possibilities.

As we celebrate Fashion and present the new Spring Collections, we will promote the use of Mesh by staging this fashion fair from February 25th – March 11th. The stage and store builds will be an original mesh build by Nardya Rousselot.

The Mesh Fashion Fair will kick-off on Saturday, February 25th, 2012 with a spectacular showcase of exclusive Mesh ensembles created by all participating designers. The Fair and sales of Mesh items, along with a rich schedule of customized individual fashion shows, contests and events, will continue until Sunday, March 11th, 2012. AVENUE will be driving grid wide publicity prior, during and after the event and Fashioncentric will assist in providing a user-driven platform where you can access the latest and the coolest.

If you are interested to be a pioneer and have a part in the MIX + MESH Fashion Event, kindly fill out the form below and one of our representatives will be contacting you shortly. If you have questions, you may email them to info@avenuesl.com.

As spaces are limited, participation will be granted on a first come first served basis to those who can comply with what is requirements for the fair. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to bringing to the Second Life community, another stellar event to promote fashion to the grid.

Some may have noticed a barrage of scandalous photos hitting the SL interwebs this past holiday season. It seems it was all part of the strategic marketing campaign for the newly opening RP sim Alura Hills, home of the exclusive Lure Manor. Spearheaded by the AVENUE Marketing team this project definitely got a reaction within the SL community. Good or bad…there was a reaction, even within the role-play never before have the inner stories of SL’s fashion elite been so exposed.

In an economic climate where less are logging in and less are spending, it may be just the right time to settle into some fun and awaken our inner fantasies. Alura Hills is a full role-play community divided over 2-sims, first entering into the town with shops, theatre, cafe and club, one can enjoy themselves even outside of the “story” being built around them. Or if you’re interested in exploring the role-play deeper you can work to gain access within the most elusive layers of Lure Manor. There truly is something for everyone.

LURE OPENING
DATE: Sunday, January 8th :: 1PM SLT

LOCATION: Alura Hills
