Modernist Fashion in SL

Does the more cash you spend on virtual fashion ensure that you are recieving better quality goods?

In the real world its almost universally accepted that if you spend serios cash you generally recieve higher quality items, however, I am unconvinced this is also the case in Second Life. For example I bought two nice suits recently, and was over 4x the price of the other, and whilst it came with various prim attachmments and layer choices, which the cheaper one lacked, I struggled to see how I was getting a better suit in terms of design, texturing, cut and creative sparkle. Once worn, it would be difficult to tell which was the more expensive of the two suits. Are we sometimes seduced by the extras at the expense of quality. There are stores that command high prices and deliver amazing designs, others maybe make up with quantity rather than quality when hiking up their prices, a lesson learnt.

Whilst discussing suits I was delighted to pick this suit up on the one of the many treasure hunts currently taking place across the grid. This prize is offered by Pasarella, and has a definite sixties cut to it, once again much like the Lois Allen Designs Discount Outlet suit here its not strictly an early sixties retro mod cut, but it has definite NeoMod credentials and exudes a sixties stylish charm, the although its ostensibly a brown suit the colour shading on the suit gives it that sharp tonic sheen so identifiable with mod faces, and coupled with a nice white shirt/brown tie combination it allows the wearer to become a classic mod for FREE, sharp shoes, decent hair cut and your already on the floor as a face.Cool modernist fashion is not always very expensive and can often be achieved for pennies or as illustrated here ... nothing! I have matched the suit with some great FKNY shoes, plus my fabulously Welleresque GL Menace hair to axchieve a reasonably stylish mod look.
