Lavender Isle, Second Life  (101, 131, 21) - Jenny Heying, owner of the Lavender Corporation <http://www.lavendercorp.blogspot.com/>, and her trendy clothing line produced for AFS Flexiwear will be featured at a fashion extravaganza hosted by Gypsy Wave on Friday, July 18th beginning at 5:00 PM SLT.  Heying will also be literally rolling out the red carpet via the “Red Walkway” at her new sim, Lavender Isle.   

“This show represents many inaugural aspects for both the Lavender Isle sim and the AFS Flexiwear clothing line.  Most important is that while this is the fifth fashion show featuring AFS Flexiwear, it is the first show since I began concentrating solely on designing for this line. Clothing will demonstrate unusual textures and fabric looks, styled after ‘real life’ fashion I wanted to bring into Second Life.” stated Heying.

The “Silhouettes in the Dark” Fashion Show will feature 24 of her latest creations of elegant formal gowns, provocative mini-skirts and delightful cocktail dresses from her summer collection. Her mastery of Photoshop, in particular her exceptional prim dress creation, has led Ms. Heying to concentrate on designs for AFS Flexiwear. Her intricate detail and eye for the unconventional translates into unusual and interesting clothing.

“I am personally thrilled that Gypsy Wave modeling agency will be providing us with models and hosting this event. Jojo Cusack modeled for me at my very first show. Her partner Tsunami Rickenbacker will serve as master of ceremonies.  Both of these talented individuals from Gypsy Wave bring added dimension,” noted Heying. 

Models from Gypsy Wave will present the clothing individually, with some segments featuring four models at one time then with all eight models walking the catwalk at the same time.  The 30-meter catwalk will be adorned in shades of lavender, while the curtain is a blend of dark red shades in an octagon shape surrounded by black wall coverings. Ample seating will be located along the catwalk with an overflow section on the nearby “Red Walkway”.

Heying has a strong following of fans including Angel Stormwind, who wore one of Heying’s gowns while performing at Gia’s Cabaret, also located on the Lavender Isle sim.
