LaynieWear: New Items!

Well, ladies and gents (if there are any gents) LaynieWear has produced some lovely new items, and I had the opportunity to sit down with her and have a designer-discussion. Laynie is still a fairly new designer in SCD eyes, so we will continue to write about her until she grows her Fairy Fashion Wings and flys to unknown heights.

 

[11:53] Laynie Link grins
[11:53] You: You hand-draw all of your clothing, don’t you?
[11:53] Laynie Link: mostly… I work from a lot of photo sources, but end up painting almost everything
[11:54] Laynie Link: i end up running around with my camera, taking pictures of the strangest things!
[11:54] You: So you start off from a photo but it never ends up entirely photosourced.
[11:54] You: Is it just your textures that are sourced?
[11:54] Laynie Link: well, i’ll see a dress i like, and think “how can I make that…”
[11:54] Laynie Link: like the Vanessa dress… I saw Vanessa Williams in a dress very similar, and loved it
[11:55] Laynie Link: i ended up painting the whole thing, and it’s similar, but not the same
[11:55] Tenshi Vielle is a fan of Vanessa Williams.
[11:55] You: This new dress of yours looks very feminine in a punk kind of way. I enjoy it.
[11:55] Laynie Link: so i end up drawing from a mix of things… paper patterns, nature, all sors of things
[11:56] Laynie Link: thanks… i love pairing that top with a pair of jeans and a cowboy hat
[11:56] Laynie Link: throw on some funky accessories, and it’s a totally different feel
[11:56] Laynie Link: of ir you wear it with retro hair, it’s sort of 50s housewife meets rockabilly?
[11:56] Laynie Link: i dunno… hard to explain
[11:56] You: Like what I have on now.
[11:56] You: That’s what I was thinking
[11:56] You: I kind of need an apron jacket overlay for this
[11:57] Laynie Link: right!
[11:57] Laynie Link: *grins*
[11:57] You: something with a skull on it.
[11:57] Laynie Link: ohhhhh, that’d be so cute!
[11:57] You: So how long have you been in SL / been designing?
[11:57] Laynie Link: i started SL in october of last year…
[11:57] Laynie Link: my husband pointed me here, said it looked like something i’d enjoy
[11:58] Laynie Link: and i wanted to find clothes… but i couldn’t find anything that was really me
[11:58] Laynie Link: so in november i started making stuff for myself
[11:58] Laynie Link: and by december, people were wanting them
[11:58] Shai Delacroix is Offline
[11:58] You: So your line is the quintessential Laynie, then? Or do you take requests?
[11:58] Laynie Link: i do take requests!
[11:58] Laynie Link: actually, a lot of my stuff is suggested/requested by my “muse”… a good friend, Teagan Blackthorne
[11:59] You: Ah, the one from Savoir Hair?
[11:59] Laynie Link: we spend a lot of time looking at clothes and stuff online,
[11:59] Laynie Link: yea
[11:59] Laynie Link: we’re sort of partners in crime, if you will
[11:59] You: Understood.
[11:59] You: What one outfit that you’ve designed describes yourself, and can you model it?
[11:59] Laynie Link: the Teagan set was requested by her… she sent me a pic of one of her favorite shirts in RL
[11:59] Laynie Link: heh
[12:00] Laynie Link: yea… hang on
[12:00] Laynie Link goes digging
[12:03] Laynie Link: this is, hands down, my favorite outfit at the moment
[12:03] Laynie Link: it’s a little girly
[12:03] Laynie Link: a little rough around the edges
[12:04] Laynie Link: *laughs*
[12:04] Laynie Link: if only i could make accessories and hair, i’d never have to spend another linden!
[12:04] Laynie Link: who am i kidding, fallingwater cellardoor owns me
[12:05] You: She owns half of the SL Fashion World. She’d be the richest Gorean master if she was into that sort of thing.
[12:05] Laynie Link: no kidding!

[12:05] Laynie Link: the boots are shiny things- old laceup boots
[12:06] Laynie Link: the bangles are woo’s black and red leopard bangles
[12:06] Laynie Link: the red necklace is the shiny things knotted bead strand in ruby from the Gnubie store
[12:07] Laynie Link: and the choker is 74 Iron Baubles – Jewelry Set
[12:07] Laynie Link: a freebie i got off slboutique, made by Elle74 Zaftig
[12:07] Laynie Link: oh, and the hair… Gritty Kitty – Ministry, comes with the hat
[12:07] Laynie Link: the shirt is the Rita top from my store
[12:08] Laynie Link: and the jeans are a set I made months ago, but haven’t released, for some reason
[12:08] You: Well put it out there!
[12:10] You: Any parting shots before I slap this up on SCD?
[12:10] Laynie Link: nah, I think I’m good!
[12:11] You: groovy. Thanks for popping in, I’m going AFK now!
[12:11] Laynie Link: cool cool!
[12:11] Laynie Link: i’ll go back to working on new stuff
[12:11] Laynie Link waves

The Vanessa. Purple, elegant, and totally royal. The dress gives off a bit of a “velvet” vibe. Wrong for summer, but SO right when the winter formals come around Pair it with a cute sweater or shawl, and you’re good to go!

I had to put this with the pearl necklace from Yummy and the PC glasses. It was just too hard to resist.

This is also one of Laynie’s new creations, a pirate-esque outfit! Love the socks – and no, I don’t have any shoes on. The prims in this photo are conflicting with each other, so it really detracts from the full effect of the outfit. (Apologies to Laynie!)
