NEW SHOOTS II - A showcase for new fashion designers (deadline and rule change)

New Shoots is a fashion showcase, put on by Metro Models, specifically to highlight new designers in SL. The past New Shoots show, featuring PERSONA and AnnaH Couture, was a huge sucess for both designers and helped launch their businesses and a partnership between the two with AnimaH poses.

In the interests in showcasing new designer talent in the best way possible, we at Metro decided to extend the deadline to enter New Shoots to the original show date of January 25th, 2008, and to run the show in February. This will allow us to give a better show, with more preparation time.

Also, we have decided the 4 month rez date is simply too young. Fabulous new talent is missing out on a chance to win the showcase simply by being 4 or 5 months old. Therefore, New Shoots II is open to designers of apparel or accessories for either gender with a 6 month or younger rez date as of December 10th, 2007. This means to enter to be part of New Shoots, you should have a rez date after June 10th, 2007.

New Shoots is a great opportunity for new designers to get themselves out there.

You will receive:

• A showcase of up to 8 outfits modelled on the runway by top models
• A keepsake book/catalogue for show participants to leave with, including photos of your designs
• Vendor space (box with “sell contents” only!) during + after the show, with a total of 10 vendors

To apply, send a notecard to Alaska Metropolitan with the following:
1) Your avatar name
2) your birthdate in SL
3) your store brand/name
4) up to 5 photos of your products
5) a landmark to your store/mall location in SL (or a link if you only sell via shop.onrez or SLExchange)
6) a short paragraph detailing why you’d like to be part of a fashion show, what your inspirations are for your fashion, and what you see yourself doing in the future in Second Life.

GOOD LUCK!
