Billy Jeans
The “pockety” denims from Fishy Strawberry are a nice alternative to traditional blue jeans, they add some dimension and it’s always great to work on a style that shows a nice balance between casual and urban inspiration.
Suit in distress
Recently in KMADD Enterprise group someone asked if there are any new suits out at the moment. This find is for you Cazzo.

I often get asked where to get formal attire that no one else has. It can be challenging finding formal attire that no one else is wearing, especially if you are like to dress out of the box (meaning wearing outfit as it is).
In this post I show you how to mix and match to achieve the look that is unlikely others would have.
Two sexy, dashing mix and match outfits to suit you next formal affair.

Northern Comfort, 1 look – 2 ways
A great Jacket and Scarf are the perfect starting place for a comfortable casual look. They make for effortless dressing with endless possibilities, and a glimpse at your own sense of style is only a graphic t-shirt and jeans away.

One thing in common
Maddox DuPont for RUNWAY MAGAZINE
September 2008
I once visited an art exhibition that featured wood carvings of empty bottles that were painted over with washes of paint. As I held the catalogue of all the paintings in my hand I realised that each one of these pieces had a corresponding line of the poem allocated to it. Poem spoke about a complex relationship between two people that has come to an end. I later found out that poem was written by the same artist which explained a real reason for all the empty bottles featured on his paintings.
Couple of the lines from this poem stuck with me to this day and they go something like this:
“And we are connected in the way I do not understand
And one thing in common
Hating the way we want everything to be nice”
I often look at Second Life as a microcosm of the real world we live in. It’s almost easier to realise certain things about life as the scale of our world is far smaller while concentration of our ideas and tendencies far greater. It is not very hard to observe that we are completely mesmerised with beauty and perfection, engaging in all sort of crusades to achieve it. We like to be part of the community, yet we like to stand on our own and be recognised for being unique and different.
In Second Life we use style, appearance, engage in activities and careers that best express who we really are. These things are done to some degree even more successfully than we are able to do them in Real Life due to our genetic, financial and cultural constraints.
Many of us have come to the realisation that looking good and expressing our uniqueness is highway to success in any area of our Second Life. Personality and talent will only get you so far with certain people, but beauty is something that almost everyone has weakness for. Although looking good is not all and everything that is needed for success, the boost of confidence that it gives you is surely going to help break the initial barrier of meeting someone to give you the opportunity to win them over with your personality and talent.
Luckily to look good in Second Life is not as hard nor financially debilitating for most. It does however require a good degree of patience, resourcefulness and creativity. I presume that if you are reading RUNWAY you understand how looking good will benefit not only your modelling career but also your social interaction.
Thanks to some gentle persuasion from Maggie Mahoney and Thalia Jie, I am glad to be joining Runway team and lead you on the way to a better looking you.
As the creator of MADesigns Shapes brand I am bringing to the RUNWAY over 2 years of experience in creating and dressing men and women of Second Life. I am also the owner of MAD Modelling Agency and MAD Studio Photography two aspects of KMADD Enterprise business that is dedicated to promoting, presenting and capturing exceptional talents of our designers and models. It is my hope that my articles and experience I will share with you will be enough to inspire you to develop your personal style and give your appearance in Second Life the individuality it needs.
And now as promised, here is the complete list of items I wore for the RUNWAY shoot.
