Second Life is an amazing virtual world, where things that would otherwise be hard, if not impossible to accomplish in the real world, is made easily possible. One such thing could be, becoming a professional and well sought after model in the fashion industry. What woman has not thought about wearing the latest fashions and being so sought after, like a complete superstar and the best thing about it? You don’t have to have a special talent to make it happen - just good resources, determination and knowledge. So how can you make this happen you wonder? It’s quite simple really, although getting it done will be anything but. The fashion industry within Second Life is practically a world and isolated community all it’s own - a world set apart from that of the average Joe and that elusiveness is what makes it so wonderful and attractive.

Now Second Life modeling is going to have a few similarities with real life such as your ethics, the type of work that you’ll receive, mediums you’ll work through but that’s where the similarities end.

Fashion, in my opinion, is the giant hammer that knocks Second Life and real life into two completely different categories. Let’s just say that today, in real life, I went out and revealed myself as a rebellious, roaring twenties woman with sass and flare. Short, gelled back hair, chest as flat as a board and smoked with a long cigarette. Of course, the only thing I would expect is dirty looks from average women with no sense of style and laughing teenagers. The reason? There is only one or two particular fashions for each generation in our day. But, with Second Life, you can be who you want, when you want, wherever you want. Of course it would be a tad silly to dress up as a  ninja in a medieval role play but hey, it’s okay if you play the part and have a reason!

This one is for the guys,  or even the Lady's that have a guy they need to help dress better.  Second Life is full of clothing stores.  There are hundreds of people if not thousands out there selling clothing.  Unfortunately a vast majority of them focus on the Ladies.  Now do not get me wrong,  I love that the Ladies get to look nice in Second Life but the guys have a difficult time finding those stores that sell quality clothing.  So with that in mind I am going to embark on a series of articles to help the men out there find clothing that does not look like it came off the newbie rack.

My first stop on this train to good fashion is one of my favorite clothing stores in Second Life called Gothicatz.  I am highlighting Gothicatz first because of the great detail they go through in creating their clothing.  No resell templates here and no quick cut and paste either.  Their clothing textures are rich in the smallest details to give you the best look possible.
