Shouted Couture Show a Huge Success!

The Shouted Couture show was a wonderful labor of love.  We had a fantastic turnout, 90+ and our traffic for the show was 17711!  Okay, it was a bit laggy but you know the clothes were worth the lag.  We were proud to display the designs of:  Amanda Bolero,  Brenda Clellon, Elettra Gausman, Fremy Fride, mAdan Payne, MariaElena Barbosa, Patrizia  Blessed, Sissy Pessoa, Thera Taurog, Traveller Bade, Ziamela Loon. 

Not only did we show the beautiful clothing designs but jewelry, architecture, and furnishings.  It was one special event that I will always remember.  I would also like to thank our models who did such an outstanding job, true professionals without whom the event could not be possible.  Thank you: Ally Geer, Alianna Logan, Anessa Stine, Dahni Ella, Gamp Lane, Gemini Galatea, Graciana McMillan, Payton Heron, Barbarella Fuosing, SiernaJane Loon, Caleb Rickena and Iustinian Tomsen!

Alix Abruzzo Partners with Fortunate Productions

 

Alix Abruzzo Partners with Fortunate Productions 

Alix Abruzzo is in her second year in Second Life. During that time she has built Phat Cat’s Jazz Club and insured bringing it to the top of the traffic charts for 6 months. Her next project was to build and operate Bellagio Second Life, the first true recreation of the hotel and casino in Las Vegas.

Having built her experience in running several clubs, art galleries and live music venues, she then turned her attention to the fashion world, where she brought many fabulous runway shows to SL. Teaming up with Fortunate Szondi, she created shows at Bellagio that were unrivaled in their originality and never before seen in Second Life.

Alix has since partnered with Fortunate Productions a production company which shares the same visions of originality and excitement that set these shows apart from anyone else in SL. Merging with Fortunate Productions made perfect sense, given the natural increase in talent, resources, and creative vision. Alix has provided 3 complete sims connected together, each themed specifically towards the fashion community, and each totally individual and unique in all of SL.

Using these resources provides the opportunity to create virtually anything the designer could want and each can be specifically tailored to the job at hand presenting designs to the public in a way that is unrivaled in the community. Each show can be specifically tailored to the designs being shown, the designer’s individual vision, their tastes and desires which is a feature that sets Fortunate Productions apart from every modeling agency in Second Life. Working with an exclusive team of top experienced models, builders, scripters, and designers, Alix is proud to be a part of creating something new in Second Life, and looks forward to knocking the fashion world off its feet with her creative friends.

We’re proud to welcome Alix Abruzzo as Co-CEO of Fortunate Productions and we look forward to serving the Second Life Fashion community with all the creative vision we can provide for them.
