It took more than three weeks (and I said "a few days" but oh well... you all know, probably, that I've never been a fast designer), but in the end my secret TAN/Lines project became much more extensive than I thought.
In any case, what happened to me in the last several months? Well, it's pretty simple. I've been studying for two full years in a fashion academy, as some might already know. I wanted to add something more "real" to the experience i had accumulated in Second Life. I already had some notions of fashion before, but I really wanted to get some professional training and to do so at one of the best academies I could find.
It seriously sucked the life out of me. Two years having to go to school every morning in addition to work are pretty much a burden, but I have to say, it's been exhilarating as well. I feel that I learned more there than in high school and university (that I didn't finish) added together, and now that I have my lil shiny diploma, I'm pretty proud of it.
So now I'm back. And I think I've returned stronger than before. What I've learned, if you still remember who Shiryu Musashi is, and are still interested in his designs, you will see starting today and in the next months. Because yes, I'm here to stay.
Anyway, back to the new TAN/Lines bikinis. As you will see in the pictures that I will attach to this post, they came out quite nice. I applied to them a lot of what I learned about designing fabric prints at the academy, and all the research I've done about this and next summer's color and style trends.
On top of it, I wanted to add a little twist to the set. They aren't named "TAN/Lines" for nothing. In every set I included a set of matching tanlines (well, three sets actually, in different shades), that go over your skin and look like realistic tanlines. You can basically showoff your bikini even when you're not wearing it (or when you're wearing just half maybe) :D
In any case, here come more pictures for all sets. You can find them as usual at the old dear Musashi-Do flagship store, or on XStreetSL (it's really hard to me to write the new name... i always tend to write SLExchange...)
