FILE: IZIS Interview | DESTINATION: PARIS, FRANCE | MODE OF TRANSPORTATION: Verizon International Calling Plan | I caught up with IZIS after several attempts and dropped calls, but the busy fashion maven was kind enough to fit me in for an interview for TMA in between fashion shoots for her upcoming 2015 Spring line.
*********************
RedDvine: IZIS darling, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule :) I know things are hectic for you this time of year. But I promise to make this quick as possible, so please tell our IMVU readers , who is IZIS? How long have you been a member of IMVU?
IZIS: My real name is Isis, I'm from Paris, and I love drawing, makeup and fashion that's what made me come on IMVU. When I found out we could create, I was so excited! I've been on here for a year now :)
RedDvine: LOL, yes, I can see you love what you do - you're skins are awesome! How long have you been developing and what items do you like developing most?
IZIS: I've been developing for a year. The items I like to dev the most are Hairs.
RedDvine: Great, Hairs seem to be the easiest thing to develop, but unless you have great textures, which you certainly do then they'll just get lost in the crowd. So IZIS, what do you think of the MESH heads?
IZIS: I like mesh heads, not on everyone tho because some people don't know how to make it look good but I've seen a few avis that were looking amazing and realistic.
RedDvine: Ok IZIS, who are some of your fav developers? Whose creations other than your own do you wear?
IZIS: I don't really have favorite developers because I don't really shop anyone. I mostly wear my own creations but there are few shops that I find interesting and different such as Seuchi, Emannuel or Blaise :)
RedDvine: Cool - I've checked them out too. I think most devs are their own walking advertisements, LOL. What about the new HD meshes, do you use those?
IZIS: I'm going to create a few very soon. Just wait on it! LOL
RedDvine: Streaming seems to be all the rage now, what do you think of it? Do you see it as a benefit?
IZIS: I guess its a good way for my customers to see whats new or coming out.
RedDvine: So let me ask you, what's your opinion on imitators here on IMVU - do you think originality has left the building when it comes to developing?
IZIS: I think it's just like in real, when Schott made bombers years back then, now you see everyone rockin it and you got the biggest designers like Balmain, Givenchy, etc making bombers too :¦ So when something new comes out, all the devs that are into fashion will create the same item for their shop. I think it's important to keep our own style even if most create the same shit, for example when I dev hairs I try to make them look different than what you see in other shops. All we do is add our lil personal touch on the item.
RedDvine: I agree with you IZIS. I think people take it to the extreme when someone else makes a similar fit ...as if they own the design. I understand if its outright copying, which some do on here, but with all these derivable meshes, what can you expect, LOL
