DEDICATION to detail. Story & Photography by Beloved Ruby THE ANNEX founder started her three year old label when she couldn’t find clothes that she liked. Mesh was relatively new in Second Life at this time but the lure of creating a personal design and starting a store was too good to resist. Today, The Annex is a successful Second Life label that caters to more than its founder’s personal tastes but also the demands of its consumers, too. These include specialized designs from role-play/fantasy fashion to casual everyday wear and high fashion looks, which are released at key events that promote such stylistic themes. Photography beloved ruby Old-world fashion is The Annex’s current focus: “I would like to create more styles that are influenced by fashion history. I have a love for vintage fashion as you can see from some of the recent releases but I would like to find time to concentrate on store releases more, not just event ones,” cited the brand’s founder. Relooking Group Gifts are some of the perks for Inworld group members as well. “Plans include additional bonuses…,” announced The Annex. At present, The Annex Lucky Board Group Gifts (for group members only) are the seductive and ultra-feminine Mistie Mifit and Desiree corsets. Fashioned with a Baroque-style velvet texture, the topless mesh corsets are beautifully detailed with a sexy backlace — hot! TP below to grab yours. Group joining fee: L$100 Premiere Issue 2016 | 57
