Now, I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Adam Soler yet, I’m hoping that Prad’ll introduce me as I need to tell him that he is crafting some fabulous clothing and want him to give me loads of freebies.
So while I was at the Southsea launch last night, I wandered around the Lookr store and examined the clothes and I have to say that I am very impressed..I wasn’t the only one either, Kaylee Linden who was also perusing the textiles agreed that the outfits were pretty good too! Have you noticed that I seem to be mentioning men’s clothing a lot today? It’s probably because I was having a really good peek at Adam’s designs last night. Chaps, you can never have enough t-shirts in your virtual wardrobe, and the ones that you wear should always be quality. That means realistic shading and creasing, and the obligatory motif – for me the funnier the better. Lookr ticks all the right boxes here, with great logo tees featuring excellent rendering and a worn-in look. In my opinion, the more authentic the clothes, the better the avatar. It’s a simple equation, yet so many people(especially men) spend money on great shapes and skins and then adorn themselves with nasty crud that quite often wasn’t even cheap. I can guarantee you that you certainly won’t look nasty in anything from Lookr. I fell in love with the shirt and denim combos, as well as the suits..oh the suits are *lovely*. I really have to get Jez in-world so that I can make him wear one of these as they look truly excellent. A quality suit *never* goes out of style, and the FORM suit is a wonderful example of the genre. It’s a tad pricey BUT you definitely get what you pay for, and if you are prepared to pay a lil’ bit more there are compliment packs to enhance your look. Consider it investment wear for your avatar! ( And seeing as I’ve already blogged SLMEN today, click to see what they had to say about it. The pictures are very nice indeed!)
But of course my main interest was the women’s wear, and ooohhh girlies it’s great!! Lots of hand-drawn details and interesting styling are the key here, with an emphasis on smart casual clothing. Adam has used some interesting textures and they pay dividends, especially on my fave outfit that I’m wearing here, VIXEN in Chocolat. This is a great long cardi with tie and furry cuffs, and you also get a nice pair of jeans with that, for a mere L$250. I’d so covet this in RL!
I also treated myself to a pair of shades in Earth and were a great compliment to the overall look. My verdict? Lookr makes me clothes happy..so take a trip to Southsea and indulge:)
