In reference to the Wall Street Journal article where Catherine is quoted saying:

From: Catherine Linden/Wall Street Journal

Because Second Life creators own their products and can sell them, the game has attracted both professional and amateur designers, says Linden spokeswoman Catherine Smith. That has led to a thriving fashion scene that includes not just dressmaking but also jewelry, hair and even skin design, as people purchase the elements to create a look for their online alter egos. Selling virtual clothes to real people for their avatars can even be lucrative: In August, the 20 best-selling Second Life fashion designers generated a combined $140,466 in sales, Linden says.


...could you elaborate on who the top 20 designers in SL are?

Hi Sansarya,

Sorry, we don't disclose revenue or business information about residents. In the rare case where we have revealed that info, it was with the resident's help and permission.

Thanks,
Catherine
