Modernist Fashion in SL


The "Moka Couture Sweater" is a great creation from J B Sterlings fashion house, the work that has been applied to give the fabric a real life textured look is amazing and the item seems to ripple over the avatar with a realistic sheen. A beautiful piece of Second Life creation, and its a marvelous modernist item too.

The retro single stripe offset to the left gives the sweater a real sixties feel, the stripe continues into the prim roll neck adding to the sixties modernist culture. Such simple geometric designs are the hallmark of sixties casual modernist clothing and this sweater slides into the genre seamlessly.

Paired with the "green striped" trousers from Shiki and the brown loafers from FKNY this is a classic modernist look, but also lends itself to the more expansive fashion culture of the NeoModernists. I think it looks great, check it out.
