SF Design's Tribute to Yves St Laurent

SF Design will take part today on September 25th, 10 am in the final BOSL Fashion Week show, A tribute to the great Yves Saint Laurent . (ONE OF THE ATTENDEES WILL WIN THE ENTIRE YVES SAINT LAURENT COLLECTION!!!) SF Design has entered this specially created outfit, called 'Le Smoking' a tribute to the man himself and his designs.
"'Created in 1966 by famous couturier Yves Saint Laurent the Le Smoking tuxedo suit for women was the first of its kind to earn attention in the fashion world and in popular culture. It pioneered long, minimalist, androgynous styles for women, as well as the use of power suits and the pantsuit in modern-day society.
Yves Saint-Laurent was seen by many as having empowered women by giving them the option to wear clothes that were normally worn by men with influence and power' - wikipedia

The SF Design Version of Le Smoking features a velvet tuxedo jacket with sculpted collar , prim sleeves and flexi . The jacket has a collar version that incorporates the shirt winged collar and jacket sleeves that incorporate the shirt cuff frills. But it also has a version without so that the jacket can be worn with other shirts and tops.
The dress shirt also has an individual winged collar and frilled sleeves so it can be worn on its own without the jacket. The shirt features a front frilled panel with a western style bowtie.
The dress pants are high waisted featuring 3 buttons, a faint stripe in the fabric, a black satin cummerbund and sculpted pant legs.
To complete the outfit a pair of black patent mary janes are included.
This item will be sold exclusively at our SF Design store@ The Best of SL Boulevard.
from the 26th of Sept.

Classic Linden Labs

Do I laugh or cry - ive done both today, ive always been a staunch supporter of Linden Labs after all they give me an opportunity i never would have believed id get.
But today I got filed with a dmca , the shock of opening your email and seeing you are accused of theft is bad enough , specially when through the years of working in sl i have had many things stolen from me. But the logistics of it all is a nightmare too , finding a fax machine on a saturday, knowing i have 2 days to prove my innocence before they pull my content off the grid ( a years sales of that item) and the added kick in the face - the accuser could have access to my rl name, address and phone number.
The coincidence was too great that yesterday a designer contacted me because her items had been stolen and were being sold on xstreet,
she alerted me to the fact that within the package of her stolen items were also my stud leather jeans - copybotted. She filed a dmca - alerting LL to the fact my jeans had been stolen too - NOT i repeat NOT that i had stolen the jeans.
The probability is that they have misread her dmca. But can you actually talk to someone to rectify this - no , you have to wait to see if they get your fax in time, or actually read an email , or direct a ticket to the right dept- on a weekend?? i think not. Meanwhile I sit here in a depressed state waiting. So if your stud leather jeans disappear from your inventory please be gentle with me.

August freebie

Our monthly gift for August is a pair of checked shorts with prim leg cuffs and sculpted belt.
These shorts come in both male and female fit , casual but smart and being mod/copy the belt is a versatile addition to your inventory. The belt comes in 3 sizes and all 3 come with or without inbuilt resizer.

sf design releases @ the summer of love fair part 2
