“It is very upsetting to know one of the greatest
fashion designers in the world has passed,”
expressed Avante model Kramer Snookums. “He
has done so much for the men and women in
fashion and his legacy will live on forever in the
fashion world both here in Second Life and in
RL.”
At New York’s 92Y ‘Fashion Talks’ series in June

Washington for more funding for cancer research
and consider joining a Relay for Life team near
you either in Second Life or in First Life,” Kaiila

Oscar de la Renta, you will be sorely missed!
