Jealous.....moi?

Second Life fashion is dominated by the women's retail sector [a bit like real life I guess] and this is no more evident than in the retro sector. Scanning the search facility for sixties retro clothing brings up several stores but when you arrive you are greeted by a sea of cool monochrome and sizzling vibrant colours in the sixties mod look...but sadly they are all for girls. The modernist bloke is left shivering out in the cold in his universal "businessman's suit" and splash of black and white.

For many stores earning cash to pay rent, tiers etc is the priority so they can hardly be blamed for seeking to match products to the market. And, the market is women's fashion; as many men seem happy with a freebie T-Shirt, excessive tattoo, heavy bling and cheapo jeans with monster boots to match their monster avi. Bitter, me...nah, of course not! Obviously there are some uber stylish Men's retailers and fashion stylist; but nobody really working extensively in the men's retro [specifically modernist/sixties] fashion market. There are the odd gems, but overall its a hard task to dress in a modernist style; whereas our sisters have a plethora of superb styling to choose from, Lady Chelsea and ModSquad Design [who house a couple of male treasures]being classic examples.

Its enough to send the dedicated modernist into a spiral of virtual depression. So am I jealous,,,you bet I am!
