We now have 30 semi-finalists and the jury will soon select the 12 finalists. They will then be invited to the Judges' Brunch on Sunday August 18, where they will have to present a short written speech explaining why they would be a good ambassador for LUXE Paris.

The LUXE Paris fashion house will also take the opportunity to offer them L$84,000 in gifts. Each of the 12 finalists will receive 10 LUXE Paris ensembles of their choice and a L$1,500 gift certificate from jeweler Zuri Rayna. They will also be featured in The SL Enquirer and the Spanish magazine Confidencial.

This event will be followed by the grand finale on Sunday September 8. The finalists will then have to present a LUXE Paris look paying homage to one of the five fashion icons of the competition but this time the icon will be imposed by the organization, at random, in alphabetical order.

The Judges' Brunch is a private event but the grand finale, a grandiose spectacle produced by One On One, will be open to the public.

LUXE Paris is looking for an ambassador, an elegant and original person, with charisma. Could be a woman or a man. Could be a professional or a beginner, this has already been seen. The organization offers tailored mentoring to the 12 finalists.

or his LADY FRIEND?

If youre a male candidate, imagine that you're Frolic's stylist and that you have to dress him for a LUXE Paris event. If you're a woman, create a LUXE Paris outfit for a lady accompanying Frolic in an important event.

imagination. We definitely don't want carbon copies! Let your creativity run wild!

IMPORTANT NOTICE about the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR contest

 

Dear friends, partners, sponsors, judges, and participants,

This is to inform you that we have decided to postpone the LOOK OF THE YEAR contest this year.

Paris and I have to devote more time to our real life for important reasons. To make this possible we need to postpone the competition for a year.  Our LOTY represents a huge workload and there is no question of doing things by halves.

However, our fashion house will remain active and dynamic, and we hope to take advantage of this break to refine our activity and gear up for the 2024 LUXE Paris Look of the Year. We will also continue to support all the SL fashion events that are close to our hearts.

We thank you for your wonderful and faithful cooperation and hope that you will understand our situation.

It's not a farewell but just a goodbye.

Gratefully 

Paris & Mika

Model for only a few months LATHILDA JANSSEN, LOOK of the YEAR 2nd runner-up A NEW STAR IS BORN!

A novice in the world of modelling, Lathilda Janssen surprised many, including herself, by obtaining the third-highest score in the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR competition.

An interview by Ely Catronis
Photos by Mika Palmyra

EC: Before we get to know you, what was it like to hear your name called as the second runner up? 

‘’I was in shock to be honest! I am very new to the modelling world, and I do not have a lot of experience on a runway.  I never expected to be 2nd runner up in the first fashion contest I entered!’’  

EC: I can still feel your excitement! That is so incredible Would you share a little about yourself and how you found this world of Second Life?

‘’I discovered Second Life by chance. I played a lot of games before and saw SL advertised on a website and it sounds interesting.’’


EC: While being in SL, what brought you to the world of modelling and fashion? Are there models or designers that inspire you?

‘’Last April, I started thinking about the possibility of doing something else apart from building, my other passion, and I realized that I would love to learn more about fashion. I always enjoyed creating new outfits. A friend told me Naar Rexen had a modelling academy, 

where she offered a free taster course. I joined straight away!

''One of the designers I admire the most is Iris Van Harpen because she does not only create fashion, but she also creates 3D works of art’’. 

EC: Do you have any advice for people interested in fashion or modelling?

‘’If you are passionate and serious about being a model or want to learn more about fashion you can find a lot of modelling courses here in Second Life. Join one of them and 
start learning something new.’’
 
E.C.: What is your favorite memory from the LOOK of the YEAR Contest? Or what will be your big takeaway moment from the experience? 

‘’The best memory for me is meeting so many nice people! I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved, from the designers who created our clothes and jewellery, LUXE Paris and ZURI, to ONE On ONE Agency team who helped us throughout the challenges and also the other eleven contestants!’’ 

E.C.: Aside from those wonderful memories and great experiences, are there any other events or organizations that you are involved in?



‘’I am currently attending modelling classes at Naar Rexen's In-Nova Models Academy, and also, I have been working for many years as an interior designer and landscaper together with my friend and business partner Cloe.’’
