Most people who shop in Second Life do not read blogs. MADesigns Shapes are a great way to advertise your products as they provide the buyer with LM to your store, serve as a visual reference even if they do not buy a shape – which often leads to purchase, and are long lasting (“life span” of each shape is usually a minimum of 12 months).

Therefore, if you are a skin/fashion designer (big or small) and would like us to put together a special collection of shapes featuring your original creations, please contact Maddox DuPont and/or Thalia Jie (Thalia styles female shapes for KMADD).

Thalia and Maddox have 4 years experience in fashion and appearance. We can bring life to your wonderful creations and make them stand our among the rest.

Luka Look

It has been a while since my last post on MAD Image. Hair has certainly sucked up all of my time and this update was a bit of a nightmare. It took nearly a month to create new hair textures and redo 25 of my current styles, most of which needed some prim adjustment as well. Actually doing a style and making a shape was a refreshing and welcome change.

In this post you see me wearing my latest concoction and then you see the shape that I made for it.

The whole inspiration for this look came from my latest hair style Luka which is modern take on Grease rockabilly look. New skin from Belleza is absolutely divine, check out the body of this skin on shape picture, this is by far one of the best bodies I’ve seen and most realistic.

Valiant has lots of new items and here I used his double tank. I love the idea of clothing that resembles how we would wear things in RL, you know things crooked, layered, wrinkled etc. no cutout doll clothing.

Well BAD BOY has finally opened it’s doors at KMADD City. And it is no longer secret that WMD label is behind BAD BOY. Maruko makes some of the best jeans in Second Life and you have to check his BAD BOY collection. Store is located outside of MADesigns store on the corner just as you exit the main store.

Luka Shape is available on Level 4 as part of Body Perfect Collection.

We often get criticised for not showing you our bodies ~ as you can see we have nothing to be ashamed of.

Winter Walks

There is something comforting about Down jackets, perhaps it is their volume, warmth and sleek material. New releases from Muism and Endeavor.

warm winter casual

Retro Business

The well worn leather blazer is the starting point for this retro inspired look, the great jacket and sweater combo from Argrace is warm and sophisticated, but maintains a casual feel for great Fall wearability. The layering of textures is what makes this style really slick, circa 1970s business entrepreneur slick. The Corduroy striping on the ‘Boy Next Door’ Pants from MUWU blend perfectly with the knit of the Sassy Scarf from Chase.

Valiant Suit

KMADD City recently held designer showcase where designers from KMADD City were invited to release new item at their store for KMADD City Anniversary. Wavie Haller from Valiant came to the party and this is his autumn suit.

I was dying to get on this Allegory hawk again, and the Rock Blood color just screams for attention. Belleza Ewan Skin and MADesigns SOUL eyes in Blue 7 are worn with Redgrave’s Dirty Jeans in LightGrey, and one of the great Roborock Tees from Kari (dig that moth eaten effect), the look is definitely roughened up.

Body art by Aitui in the form of the Dire Sleeves Tattoo, and Glasses from Artilleri – a classic rockabilly nod with the Buddy specs. More bits and pieces add the finishing touches; the Predator O-Necklace from House of Shea (Limited Edition), Valiant Brown Leather Armcuff, a ‘retro’ dice bracelet from NM, and some facial piercing from AddiXion. A great pair of Hoorenbeek low tops in the ‘used’ white version round out the style.
