Turn Heads wearing Sascha’s Designs

Sometimes when I create a look it’s because it inspires me from something in RL.  When Anatascia asked if I would write a styleblog about Sascha Design’s Red Widow Mini dress, well the look started to develop into a tribute to a favorite Model.  See, I’m a Philly girl and 30 years ago a local Philly girl took the modeling world by storm becoming one of the fashion industry’s top models.  Gia Carangi, who would have been 50 last January, didn’t fit your typical model of the late 70s/early 80s.  She was actually considered ‘short’ by modeling industry standard being only 5’7″.  She had a very ‘ethnic’ look that deviated from all the blonde hair/blue eye models.  And she had lusty curves to her shape.  She ruled the industry for 2-3 years until her excessive lifestyle habits took their toll on her.

Despite her sad ending, I’ve always been a big fan of Gia because she was a Philly girl like me.  And wearing this beautiful party dress from Sascha Design’s reminded me of the glam fashions of that era which have come back in style in the past years.  Designer Sascha Frangilli created a fun party dress that is both stylish and daring.  The little red dress has always symbolized an independent woman and I like that this is a rich dark shade of red that makes it much more elegant than brighter shades might look.  This strapless dress is well-appointed around the daring neckline with a goldtone & black embellishments which highlight both the dress and the wearer.  That same trim is also found at the small of the back for a beautiful finishing touch.

My tribute to Gia started when I selected a skin I discovered at a recent skin fair.  The skin design is from Alite and I loved the rich yet minimal makeup that sets off the eyes and makes the lips look stunning.  Adding Mirone’s latest hairstyle Miaa (named after current Miss Virtual World Miaa Rebane) finished the look that I wanted.  I added N-Core Infinity XtremeHeels in black, I love how I can customize the shoes so the embellisments match the dress.  When my friend Sabine Blackburn saw the outfit she knew the perfect jewelry to finish the look – Alienbear Design’s Feng Huang Gold Necklace & Earrings.  As always, Sabine was absolutely perfect.

An outfit like this will surely have the heads turning for the girl who always loves to have fun and dance the night  away.

And Happy Belated Birthday Gia – you revolutionized the modeling world and left us too soon in life!
