Hmm, it seems like my motif for the week is attempting to present in still images things that really need to be seen in action. Today’s full-motion item is FORM designer Zabitan Assia’s new “Animation Override V.1″. Built upon the foundation of Zab’s previously available line of poses (using Ziggy Puff’s ZHAO-II HUD Animation Overrider), the FORM AO includes 22 poses and animations to customize every aspect of your avatar’s movement, including one stand pose and one animated sit pose that are only available with this AO. All AO operations are conveniently controlled via the discreet FORM-themed HUD, at lower right in this picture. The lower “FORM” button enables and disables the AO; the upper “MENU” button activates the control/configuration menu at upper right. (more…)

It seems like I turned my back on Funk Schnook for maybe five seconds or so and when I look back he has all this new stuff out at FNKY! I honestly don’t know how he does it. Clearly he’s some kind of mad creative genius, the kind that’s maybe just a little bit scary when you stand real close.
Funk’s new FNKY! Kicks casual shoes include five different sizes, so you should have no trouble finding one that fits you well, whether you’re a delicate flower of a Southern girl or the biggest and manliest of manly men.

When I first visited the new Moderno menswear shop in the completely redesigned and rebuilt Dazzle sim, I ended up taking home just a few of the many new items and outfits that are available–I’m not sure, but I may have been kind of overwhelmed. Designer Ginny Talamasca (as Devyn Carmichael) has once again produced an extensive line of menswear ranging from casual through dressy to formal, all imaginatively designed and immaculately textured.

CharlieM Whitfield and Russo Robbiani, the two designers behind Flawless Mainland, bring a sleek, continental flair to their work. In business for only a few months, they’ve released three new suit lines that demonstrate technical grace, the sharp angles of Teutonic styling, and a precociousness that sets expectations high.
With the Chandrima Business Suit, Whitfield and Robbiani tempt fate with horizontal stripes, but manage to negotiate the potential straits between the Scylla of “it makes me look porky” and the Charybdis of “it makes me look like I just escaped from the workhouse” with aplomb. “It’s our standard business suit, and our bestseller,” said Robbiani. “There are many combinations possible, so that you can create your own individual style.” High, tight and available in four colors (shown in blue-grey and including brown, green and basic black), the suit has superior corners and is (no surprise here) reminiscent of something by Hedi Slimane.

The New Babbage Victorian steampunk region came to my attention by way of the New Babbage build on this year’s Relay For Life track. It was while exploring in Babbage Square that I discovered Gaslights Emporium, a men’s clothing and accessories shop featuring designs by Vincente Shepherd. The shop itself is fairly new, and some items are new within the last week or two. Here you can find everything you need to outfit yourself as a proper Victorian gentleman, from clothing to accessories–and a few toys as well.
The Gentleman’s Suit (L$400) is available in your choice of Blue, Green, Black, Claret (shown), Brown and Charcoal. It includes jacket, trousers, shirt, waistcoat, flexi coat bottom and prim bowtie. Vincente is currently making these available on a “buy one, get one free” basis–details are available in the shop. (more…)

If you haven’t yet visited Second Guy Mall - The Center for Men’s Clothing, now is a great time to drop by and check it out. I’ve been following this venture since early on, but I’m impressed by its recent redesign and growing roster of resident designers (several of whom have been featured here on Men’s Second Style) and thought I’d take the opportunity to mention it here. The mall has 30 shop spaces and is geared toward those who are looking for high-quality men’s casual, athletic, club, and business clothing–all in one spot. This isn’t the only shopping area dedicated to men’s styles in SL (Manhunt Mall has been around for at least as long as I can remember), but proprietors Balthasar Balhaus and LB Fellini are committed to providing an exceptional level of features and service.

True story: A few years back, there was an impending family reunion and my mom said to me, “Hmm, do you remember that branch of my family that never attends these reunions? Everybody always gossips about them because they aren’t there. Well, I found out why.” I waited for her to go on. Finally she sighed and said, “It’s because they’re always on the road. They all joined a traveling carnival and they’re on the road all spring and summer, into the fall.” I was still boggling over this when she added, “Apparently they winter in Orlando. I guess that’s nice.” I regained some resemblance of composure and said, “Mom! We have carnies in our family!” A slightly pained expression crossed her face. I could only manage to say, “But that’s awesome!” She sighed again, more heavily. I’m still trying to figure out how I can catch the traveling show some summer. (Small town carnivals are an experience like no other–remind me to tell you about Rat Roulette.) But I’m not supposed to talk about it. Hey, my dad had a great-great-great-uncle or some such who was hanged as a horse thief. I guess there’s a skeleton in every family closet. (more…)

A few days ago, I received an e-mail from regular reader Kith DeCuir telling me about some great new red hair he had found. His directions led me to Z#road Men’s Shop in Ikebukuro, a new venture by designer Yukimaru Koba. Two casual hairstyles are currently available, both clearly influenced by contemporary Japanese culture as well as anime and manga, and designed with this appeal in mind. While the underlying hair texture is realistic, the color and shading are more stylized, with gradations that suggest an artfully applied salon process. (more…)

I’m an idealist.
Real life clothes have wrinkles, real life hair has tangles, real life skin has bumps and pimples and pores that nothing can shrink. And many designers in Second Life are focused on making their creations as true to life as possible, recreating all these problems in the name of realism.
I say forget that! I want skin smooth as glass, hair that always looks good, clothes that never need ironing. If I could be an anime character, I would. (Preferably Riki.) I’ll never get that in real life, but in Second Life, all it takes is a good artist and some lindens!

I became aware of how important shoes are to a man during the Clinton impeachment.
Before, I had assumed that shod equaled good, and so long as my wheels matched my belt (or nearly so, poverty’s limitations being what they were), I was golden. But it was David Boies who taught me wisdom. Boies was Clinton’s primary attorney during the impeachment hearings. Now, this is a man who ranks amongst the top 10, perhaps top five, attorneys in the world. The man lives in an 8,000 square foot Georgian-style pile of bricks in Westchester County. He’s got two wine cellars–one for bottles, and one for cases. And, beyond all human reason, the man wears Land’s End suits with black running shoes. All the time. In court. In the SUPREME Court.

You may or may not have noticed, but Men’s Second Style is one year old today! At the beginning, this blog was called The Second Man (hence our domain name), but along the way we’ve come under the umbrella of Second Style Magazine, and so the name change. You can look back at Nick’s very first welcome post here, and if you like you can scroll back through some of our early efforts to bring designers of men’s fashion to your attention. I think we’ve come a long way–there’s certainly a lot of water gone under the bridge!–and I hope you feel that we’ve become a useful resource for guys in search of what to wear in SL.
Here’s to a second year that’s as much fun as the first. I’d love to see the blog go in some exciting new directions, so if you have ideas–let us know! And remember…even better than a great idea is a commitment to help make it happen.

Most of the time, the designs I review here are things I’ve found myself inworld, or read about in an announcement somewhere, or had brought to my attention by the designer him- or herself. This is one of the relatively few times a blog reader has come to me and said, “Hey, have you heard about this? Do you think you might be reviewing it?” I’m happy to get inquiries or suggestions from readers, although I can’t promise that every one will result in a review. This time, though, it did.
Rockwell Maltz’s new EOS (”Evolution of Sex”) Suit isn’t just a good-looking, classically styled suit–it has been designed with with a constant eye toward flexibility of wear. With its generous variety of wear options, this suit will take you from the boardroom to the bedroom without breaking a sweat, or even breathing hard. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist. It’s a sickness.)

Like the song says… “Working for the weekend…”
This outfit, which I’m calling The Weekender, is simply something I’d throw on without really worrying about **gasp!** having to look good. Although, the finished result shows anything but. Okay, I admit it. I’m guilty of the crime of being vain…XD
It’s one of those types of getups where the usual Jeans + Tee can be redone with a twist. More than the usual casual sets that one finds in either RL or SL, part of the look depends on what one makes of it. This look wouldn’t be out of place at a club or just cruising along doing nothing. (more…)

I was unfamiliar with the creative work of designer Faery Sola until recently. Mea culpa, but I grant myself dispensation as she has only just produced her first creations with men in mind. Her first release was a set of leather wrist cuffs, embellished with an eleborate Celtic knot design worked into the leather. These were so well received that Faery followed up with a collection of coordinating leather belts that feature two metalwork options and a variety of decorative accents.
The wrist cuff (L$100 each) comes in Black, Brown, Red and Tan. (Brown is shown here, with Red in closer view below.) The cuff, worn on the right wrist by default, is made of thick leather, its two silver-buckled straps embossed with Book of Kells-inspired artwork. The knotwork design is similar to a much-loved silver ring I bought in Dublin and wear every day in RL. (more…)

Eponymous Trenchmouth knows a little something about guys. She knows that there’s a bad boy somewhere deep down inside each one of us, looking to break free…or at least get the chance for a little self-expression. Her new line of shoes called “Rebel” includes six styles, each named after an icon famous for (among other things) pushing back against the restrictions of society in one way or another: James Dean, Robin Hood, Henry Morgan, Carl Perkins, Spartacus and Roman Polanski.
James Dean is remembered for astonishing performances in just three films, perhaps most notably Nicholas Ray’s “Rebel Without a Cause,” in which he struggles with and rebels against parental and societal authority. Dean cultivated the rebel image for the public as well, or perhaps the studios did it for him. His namesake in this collection is the sharp-styled shoe I’m wearing here.

As you see, Cat is still with us, very much alive and well–I haven’t offed him and stashed the body in a glacier sim somewhere. However, we want to let you know that he’s making his unofficial break into more of an official one. He will still be around, no doubt reading regularly and commenting from time to time as usual, but he’ll only be posting here on an occasional basis. I know that you will all miss him terribly and join me in shedding copious tears.
Cat, you know your login is still good. No pressure, I’m just sayin’.

In 1949 George Orwell’s cautionary tale against totalitarianism and democratic socialism was published. Within the world of the novel 1984, social and political upheaval have resulted in a dystopian future. Institutional propaganda, complete subordination to political cause, sexual oppression, concentration camps and leader worship (Big Brother) weigh down on the masses. Personal expression is a crime.
Though his main store location is influenced by the novel and movie, Broder Kubrick’s creations attempt to break away from the standard issue to provide his own brand of gritty clothing and accessories in BroGear. The derelict shop is situated within an isolated, stone-set market amid large Stalin-esque banners of Broder, His Supreme Imminence, that warn “Big Broder is Watching” and “War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength”. As shoppers peruse the goods within, loudspeakers intermittently blaze with news of wartime progress. (more…)

Sorry. It’s the outfit. All dressed up in true Victorian style, I cannot but succumb–
Right. Enough. The Night at the Opera outfit consists of cloak (but of course), cane, top hat, and ascot. Nice touch on the ascot– it turns any tuxedo into a period piece. The cloak is black, lined in red, with a red-lined shoulder cape. The top hat matches nicely, with a red band to tie the outfit together. The texturing on both reads as color without being flat, which is more difficult to do than it sounds. (more…)

I was kinda sorta peripherally aware of Zorena Deckard’s shop Ookami Ningen–I had gone there to buy a Daniel Boone-style raccoon-tail cap for a costume event–but hadn’t really explored the many fantasy, roleplay and costume possibilities it offers until recently. Aidan and I decided to collaborate on showing you just a few of Zorena’s outfits for men. The Hellenic Magister ensemble shown here is fairly simple and includes shirt, pants, prim neck and sleeve cuffs, and flexiprim robe base (the bottom “skirt”). The fabric texture is clean and smooth, with no heavy weave or wrinkle and fold shading–this is fantasy, after all! The flexi robe moves majestically, providing a sense of presence and the impression of real weight. All pieces are moddable for convenience and ease in fitting. (more…)

Dragontat Zagato (yes indeed, he of Desert Moon Clothiers fame, the very same) recently undertook a complete redesign of his underwear line, available at Brief Encounter. His old styles have been retired, and his new line features all-new fabric patterns and improved fabric textures. As you can see from this small selection, there’s something for everyone, from more restrained patterns to wilder designs that may come as a special surprise to that special someone.
Although I myself am a boxer-briefs/trunks kind of guy, I’m including here several from the briefs collection as well. Dragontat knows that a lot of guys like ‘em, even though they’re not my thing. All styles come on both the underwear and pants layer for flexibility and convenience. (more…)

Shai Delacroix hits close to this boy’s heart with her new Southern Comfort Suit. Although I’m not a New Orleans native, I kind of married into the city and now I try to get there for several days at least twice a year. Shai’s new suit epitomizes the casual elegance of Southern summer living–it’s perfect whether you’re wandering the French Quarter shops and galleries, listening to the music drifting through Jackson Square, or sipping Sazeracs and Pimm’s Cups with friends at Napoleon House. If you’re lucky it might be all three in lazy succession on a hot summer afternoon, with a break somewhere in the middle for an elegant lunch in the garden courtyard at Bayona, or maybe just a roast beef poor-boy at Johnny’s. Later on you’ll be heading out to hear some live music–who’s at Preservation Hall tonight?–but for now, it’s all about relaxation. (more…)

I’ve been looking forward to the release of Sezmra Svarog’s new “Entice for Men” line of skins for some time now. Some months back–it seems like months–I heard that she was working on new designs that would replace her current line, then being discontinued. Art cannot be rushed, however, no matter how eager (or impatient) we may be, and time went by. Then, in June, she posted some preview images on her blog, raising the level of anticipation more than a bit. To no one’s annoyance and disappointment more than her own, Sezmra then suffered a spate of ISP and other frustrations that delayed her work on several levels. Ultimately, David and Hunter, the first skins in her new line, were released in mid-July, still coinciding with her third SL birthday. (more…)

My name is MaxmillianDArgent Ferraris. My occupation, newest connoisseur of Second Life Fashion. My passion, putting it together and making it real…so to speak.

In each post, I’ll be including accessories, hair, and the occasional props with each outfit. I’ll also be listing the designers, stores, and prices for everything I’m wearing. Gotta do that publicity thing! X D
Each outfit can be either a mix/match of things from different designers or a set from a single artist. Depends on my mood naturally… (more…)
