New: This Week in Men’s Fashion: May 20 - 27, 2007

May 27th, 2007 at 11:50pm Catero Revolution

This week has been pure madness. It’s been filled with family, party, headaches and it was all topped off by a wedding. Though, SL fashion was at the back of my mind. The sign of true addiction.

With all that was going on I couldn’t disappoint. With time quickly running out I bring you this week’s goodies.

� ACCESSORIES

EARTHTONES by Lucas Lameth
Zodiac Jewelry (229L each)

Kill two birds with one stone: wear your sign with pride and avoid cheesy and unwanted pick-up lines with these simple and elegant necklaces with astrological sign pendants. The zodiac component can be bought in round or rectangular (with birthstone) styles with prim articulated characters. Within each purchase set consumers will find two necklace versions with subtle gold or silver finish. The designer has conscientiously provided 1L demos for each style.

Available @ Dos Corazones (12, 148, 28).

Mhaijik Things by Mhaijik Guillaume
“Madagascar” ring and necklace set (275L) and Sculptie Bracelet (50L)

Elaborating on her 5-ring jewellery set, Mhaijik has created the “Madagascar” necklace set which includes the previously released “Madagascar” ring. The wood chain twines itself around the neck till it reaches the hallmark gem of the ring which acts as an assymetrical pendant. Mhaijik has also tested her hand at the new scultpie capability, creating a unisex bracelet that seems to be stacked with polished white stones.

Available @ Pheosia (55, 229, 151).

Renown By Aitui by Jesseaitui Petion
Eyes (49L)

Appearing in six natural colours, Jesseaitui has created a set of striking eyes with realistic texturing. The blue, brown, green, grey, grey-hazel and hazel peepers can be bought separately with a piercing snow effect that features a white ring that highlights the outer edge of the iris. These options have been aptly named with “snow” proceeding their colour names. Whether you purchase the regular or snow versions the eyes are beautifully rendered.

Frangipani Designs by Rach Snookums
Charcoal Business Suit (350L) and shirts (120L each or 600L/6-pack)

Hand-drawn elegance tones down the formality of the charcoal grey power suit. The two-button, single-breasted suit features peak lapels and comes packaged with an open-collared dress shirt. Dress shirts in additional colours (light grey, pine rose, sky blue and taupe) can be purchased indivdually or as a set. All shirts have been rendered in both the jacket layer and shirt layer with underwear extension. The absence of a business tie further establishes the breezy nature of the outfit as a whole.

* Frangipani Designs’s Pine Dress shirt was featured on Ben’s SLMEN.com on May 25, 2007.

Available @ Iladil (85, 45, 71).

[Renegade] by Kaejo DaSilva
Killer Outfit (349L)

This 5-piece outfit is an absolute steal - tank, v-neck shirt, thermal, jeans and shoes are all included in the purchase set. The gritty texturing creates a fatigued effect that plays up the lights and darks, which can be particularly seen in the chalky wear lines on the black jeans. The killer bee theme is reflected in the vertical striping on the outer panel of the leg as well as a distressed graphic of a bee with outspread wings.

Available @ Cleary (241,226,122).
