The only problem with that is that almost everyone will be wearing a black tuxedo. That's where an high-quality Ivory tuxedo comes in.<br /><br />The Holidays in Cortina (Cortina is Italy's Aspen, or better, Aspen is America's Cortina :P) tuxedo features a classic peaked lapel paired with a trendy two vent style, perfect for formal parties. The striking ivory color makes it especially suitable for dinners and weddings, or any other upscale occasion in which a gentleman would want to stand out in the crowd. The hand-painted textures of the embroidered waistcoat add a refined touch of color to the ensemble.<br /><br />This tux is characterized by an extensive use of sculpted prims (jacket cuffs, shirt cuffs, trouser cuffs, lapel, collar, bowtie and jacket bottom) and includes ten waistcoats of different colors and the usual advanced Mudashi-Do hud to resize and fit the prims and to change the ten colors of the bowtie. You can also wear the tuxedo without the jacket to showoff the rich embroidery of the waistcoats and the detail of the shirt, complimented by additional sculpted cuffs.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4230275770/" title="Holdiays in Cortina Bowties and Vests di Abriael, su Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2574/4230275770_da3f219290.jpg" alt="Holdiays in Cortina Bowties and Vests" height="78" width="500" /></a><br /></div><br /><br />The massive freedom in color variation allows you to match the tuxedo to your mood or to the gown of your date effortlessly.<br /><br />It's available as usual at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eleganza/192/114/23">Musashi-Do Flagship Store</a> and on <a href="https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=2018294">Xstreet</a>.

So here are our Christmas Edition InfiniTie shirts, sporting themed colors (a deep, daring hue of red and green) and two beautifully painted holiday InfiniTies, not available elsewhere, one striped and one in a floral pattern.<br /><br />Of course the whole package is fully compatible with the InfiniTie System and you can both use other InfiniTies with the shirts (should you want to wear them in less festive occasions), or use the InfiniTies included with other InfiniTie compatible garments to make them more festive, increasing the flexibility of this set tenfolds.<br /><br />As usual, if you don't know what the InfiniTie system is, you can check an explanatory video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn4JPUqEkl4">here</a>.<br /><br />You can purchase the InfiniTie Shirts Christmas Edition at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eleganza/192/114/23">Musashi-Do Flagship Store</a>, or on <a href="https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1983323">Xstreet</a> for L$ 199.Giuseppe Nelvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121468959378268849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374467619177891483.post-16170622359688602072009-12-10T04:04:00.003+01:002009-12-10T04:06:00.687+01:00A little teaser...<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4172736569/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2600/4172736569_ac970a0214.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4172736569/">Milano Holidays 2009 Teaser</a><br />Picture uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/abriael/">Abriael</a> </span></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Giuseppe Nelvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121468959378268849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374467619177891483.post-22976770632427146052009-12-07T23:15:00.017+01:002010-01-07T04:14:58.237+01:00New Release: Brocade Princess gown<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4166278579/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2614/4166278579_48bf8f5a32.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4166278579/">Brocade Princess</a></span><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Picture uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/abriael/">Abriael</a></span></div><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > </span></div>As the holidays approach, more and more formal parties happen. People like to go dancing and to do so in style. It's the perfect time for a new gown release by Musashi-Do: Brocade Princess.<br /><br />Brocade Princess is a lovely ball gown in six colors, it's graceful heart-shaped bodyce cuts into a daring cleavage that will be the perfect frame for any finely crafted set of jewelry you might want to wear. The low riding sash accentuates a feminine hourglass shape, while the hand-painted brocade pattern creates feeling of warmth that will turn heads during any winter formal party. Completing the look are a set of matching velvet gloves which add a subtle touch of classic elegance.<br /><br />To add a little more flair to the gown, each color comes with both a patterned and a solid color matching sash. Alternating between them allows you to completely change the mood of the dress.<br />As a little additional detail, the pattern of the gown matches that of the waistcoats of the <a href="http://musashido.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-release-party-in-venezia.html">Party in Venezia </a>tuxedo, for those couples that like to go dancing with a subtle yet stylish matching detail in their attire.<br /><br />I hope you will enjoy it, as well as your holidays dancing parties.<br /><br />The Brocade Princess gown is available both as a fatpack (for 2199 L$) or as sepatate colors (priced 499 L$ each) at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eleganza/192/114/23">Musashi-Do Flagship store</a>. Permissions are set as no copy/modify/transfer, making this gown the perfect holidays gift.<br /><br />Also blogged on:<br /><a href="http://slfashionpassion.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/midnight-blue/">A Passion for Virtual Fashion</a><br /><a href="http://cajsalilliehook.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/pixel-perfect/">It's Only Fashion</a> (by Cajsa)<br /><a href="http://cajsalilliehook.wordpress.com/2009/12/12/a-gothic-tapestry/">It's Only Fashion</a> (by Gidge)<br /><a href="http://blog.secondstyle.com/2009/12/date-nightwho-you-calling-princess.html">Second Style</a><br /><a href="http://shoppingcartdisco.com/?p=6105">Shopping Cart Disco</a><br /><a href="http://www.achariya.net/2009/12/black-red-and-black-all-over.html">www.achariya.net</a><br /><a href="http://www.staciepryor.com/2010/01/06/formal-feature-musashi-do/">Sheek</a><br /><a href="http://chknowstyle.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-am-princess-all-girls-are.html">Ch'Know Style</a><br /><a href="http://funkyfashionfinds.blogspot.com/2009/12/brocade-princess.html">Funky Fashion Finds</a><br /><a href="http://lolitaoleander.blogspot.com/2009/12/princess-and-her-prince.html">Que Paso?</a><br /><a href="http://pumpkinsaenz.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/spending-the-holidays-dressed-as-a-princess/">I turn my Camera On</a><br /><a href="http://heidivolare.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/musashi-dos-brocade-princess/">The Fashionable Heart</a><br /><a href="http://slicon.wordpress.com/2009/12/14/be-a-musashi-do-christmas-princess/">ICON Lifestyle</a><br /><a href="http://slexandthecity.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/dont-miss-the-g-field-sale/">Slex and the City</a>Giuseppe Nelvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121468959378268849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374467619177891483.post-91033263845452078902009-12-01T21:46:00.005+01:002009-12-01T21:56:40.644+01:00A crystal Christmas tree for Musashi-Do, and a new freebie!<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4149325662/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2618/4149325662_50e536be44.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4149325662/">The Musashi-Do Crystal Christmas tree 2009</a></span><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Picture uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/abriael/">Abriael</a></span></div><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > </span></div>The Holidays season has come, and a massive crystal Christmas tree has been built in front of the new Musashi-Do flagship store for your festive viewing pleasure.<br />But since the spirit of the holidays lies in sharing, a slightly smaller version of the tree (in three sizes) is also available as a freebie that you can pick up at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eleganza/192/114/23">flagship store Itself</a>, as you enjoy the sight of their bigger brother.<br /><br />I hope you will enjoy them as I enjoyed building them, it's been a lot of fun for sure :DGiuseppe Nelvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05121468959378268849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374467619177891483.post-65967082208113857452009-11-29T01:11:00.006+01:002009-11-29T01:20:16.357+01:0020% off Sale for 3 days at Musashi-Do<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4141553863/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2800/4141553863_5504d3fb54_o.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4141553863/">Musashi-Do 5th anniversary Sale</a></span><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Picture uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/abriael/">Abriael</a></span></div><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > </span></div>Our 5th Anniversary celebrations didn't end with Black Friday.

Of course one can't show at a formal party without a dashing tuxedo. From this demand Party in Venezia was born.<br /><br />This tuxedo features a classic peaked lapel paired with a trendy two vent style, perfect for formal occasions, weddings dinners and elegant parties . The solid black color gives a dashing and classy look, while the hand-painted textures of the embroidered waistcoat add a refined touch.<br /><br />Party in Venezia is characterized by an extensive use of sculpted prims (jacket cuffs, shirt cuffs, trouser cuffs, lapel, collar, bowtie and jacket bottom) and includes ten waistcoats of different colors and the usual advanced Mudashi-Do hud to resize and fit the prims and to change the ten colors of the bowtie. You can also wear the tuxedo without the jacket to showoff the rich embroidery of the waistcoats and the detail of the shirt, complimented by additional sculpted cuffs.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/4137102679/" title="Party In Venezia Bowties and Vests di Abriael, su Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2488/4137102679_6806b7767f.jpg" alt="Party In Venezia Bowties and Vests" height="78" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">The massive freedom in color variation allows you to match the tuxedo to your mood or to the gown of your date effortlessly.<br /><br />It's available as usual at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eleganza/192/114/23">Musashi-Do Flagship Store</a> and on <a href="https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1955473">Xstreet</a>.

All the Musashi-Do designs (excluding only the new Tuxedo "Party in Venezia" that will be released on Thursday, November the 26th) will have their price slashed by half! If you've had your eyes on a Musashi-Do design, Friday will be the best time to finally treat yourself to it, or to purchase your holiday gifts for your loved ones! The sale will run all day, from midnight to midnight, non-stop.<br /><br />To help fight the lag, the same discount will be applied to the Musashi-Do products for sale at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Merry%20Christmas/52/112/22">Musashi-Do Holidays Store</a> in Winterstock, where you'll also be able to enjoy a special Black Friday sale from most of the other designers present on the popular Christmas sim. If you have trouble teleporting to our flagship store or the lag bothers you, Winterstock is your next stop to enjoy the sale anyway.<br /><br />During the same day, at 12 PM SLT (Noon) the popular singer and performer Lollo String will entertain us with a great live performance in the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eleganza/187/184/23">plaza in front of the Flagship store</a>. Make sure not to miss it!<br /><br />At 7 PM SLT, you will be able to enjoy the special Musashi-Do 5th Anniversary Fashion Show on the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eleganza/64/125/21">newly built catwalk</a>, designed and created by our very own designer, Shiryu Musashi. The show will feature a stunning selection of the high-quality fashions by Musashi-Do<br /><br />The fashion show will be followed at 8 PM SLT by an after-show party with DJ Alicia Chenaux, and several prizes for our guests. Wear your favourite Musashi-Do outfit and come dance and have fun after a day of shopping!<br /><br />But our 5th Anniversary celebrations don't end with Black Friday. As part of the Artist's Voice Originals Only sale between November the 28th and Novemvber the 30th (until midnight on the 30th) the whole range of Musashi-Do fashions (again excluding only the new Tuxedo "Party in Venezia") will still be on sale, featuring a 20% discount.
