ARE YOU STYLISH?

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

LUXE Paris is looking for a stylish woman or man who knows how to express the brand's elegance and who will be the image of the house with charisma.

This could be a professional or an amateur. The crowning glory of a big name of the runway or a new discovery. Both have occurred throughout the competition's 10-year history.

The LOOK of the YEAR organization boasts a prestigious team of mentors who offer tailored preparation to the finalists. A beginner with the right drive and passion can rise to the top, while a professional will be guided to excel.

TAKE A CHANCE ON YOU!

It's easy to participate: choose your favorite LUXE Paris outfit, style it your way without forgetting the brand's aura of elegance, take a photo (snapshot or 1024 x 1024), write your legacy name in the title, and send FULL PERM to the avatar LUXEParisLOOKoftheYEAR inworld.

FREE LUXE Paris outfit for all participants upon receipt of their first photo!

In addition to offering L$50,000 to the winner and L$10,000 to each of the runners up, LUXE Paris will also distribute a whole range of gifts, offered by our sponsors.

JUST FOR MEN by Hyaecinte for LUXE Paris

Did you know that statistics in 2025 show that

59% of the SL population is male? And then let's

not forget how many gentlemen enjoy experiencing

SL through the eyes of a female avatar.

So many men... Yet if you look at the stores out there,

it's like SL is made up of 90% women. Female clothes.

Female shoes. Female accessories. There's so much.

But for men? You really need to search for good stuff.

I'm glad LUXE Paris has a men's section.

Because just like the ladies, I feel men get 'forced' into

a specific type of clothes. While women have their butt

hanging out of their skirts 3 out of 4 times, I have seen

way too many pants that offer the.'visible garden hose'.

Elegance. It's what LUXE Paris preaches.

For women AND for men!

 

As I was brainstorming, I stood next to our large men's wear wall in the store

looking at the many creations we made over the years. And then I noticed the titles.

 

Did you ever notice how original and unique our designers make the names of our clothes?

 

So while I am going to drown you all in as many fabulous male creations as I can, I am using the

LUXE Paris inspiration to inspire me on what to type!

 

A QUICK LESSON IN JAPANESE

 

 

The first ensemble I wanted to figure out is not only one of our newest

designs, but also has a very funny title. What IS 'Kakkoii’ ?!

The answer is simple. It’s Japanese for 'cool’ !

Also, it is used as the male version of the popular female term 'kawaii’.

Girls are cute (kawaii) and guys are handsome (kakkoii).

 

A SUIT FIT FOR A GENTLEMAN

 

 

GENTLEMEN… THERE IS STILL HOPE

 

 

Luckily not EVERYTHING is made for women when it comes to fashion!

'GQ' is a real life men's fashion magazine with the latest trends and hottest items.

"Since 1957, GQ has inspired men to look sharper and live smarter

with its unparalleled coverage of style, culture, and beyond. 

From award-winning writing and photography

to binge-ready videos to electric live events,

GQ meets millions of modern men where they live,

creating the moments that create conversations."

 

WWW.GQ.COM

 

EVERY MAN NEEDS GOOD ACCESSORIES

 

 

TIMELESS DESIGN, TIMELESS LOVE STORY

 

 

One of the designs which has adorned our men's wall for a long time has a name

that is connected to the intense and beautiful love story of Dante Alighieri.

Dante met Beatrice Portinari only twice and could not stop thinking about her.

He travelled through the circles of hell all the way to paradise to find her again.

In reality, he wrote 31 poems to commemorate his one true muse, Beatrice.

 

DANTE’S ‘VITA NUOVA’

 

"My lady looks so gentle and so pure

When yielding salutation by the way,

That the tongue trembles and has nought to say,

And the eyes, which fain would see, may not endure.

And still, amid the praise she hears secure,

She walks with humbleness for her array;

Seeming a creature sent from Heaven to stay

On earth, and show a miracle made sure."

THE LIVE FINALE

The finalists will then be invited to meet the judges in person at an elegant brunch during which they will have to present a short written speech explaining why they would be a good ambassador for LUXE Paris.

The big twelve will also participate to a live fashion show on an imposed theme, during which the jury will make its final decision. Remember that LUXE Paris is looking for an ambassador, a woman or a man with style, panache and charisma.

VANESSAJANE'S TIPS

TENTH OF THE DYNASTY LOOK OF THE YEAR

"My best advice to participants is to be genuinely authentically yourself", says VanessaJane, LOOK of the YEAR 2024-2025, when we ask her to share her experience.

"When I first participated in LOTY in 2022 I was too caught up in what I thought I was 

expected to be, how I was expected to style, and I strangled myself as a result!  

"But last year I competed for the fun and the opportunity to style, threw out any expectations and made a promise to myself that I would not lose 'me'! And I won!!!

"Mika and Paris, the founders and chief designers of LUXE Paris, want a genuine relationship with their ambassador so I have come to understand that it is vital to reveal the real you when you compete."

The unisex 2025 LOOK of the YEAR competition is a production of LUXE Paris and ONE On ONE Agency in collaboration with Zuri Jewelry, In-Nova Modelling Academy, My Bags by Mila Blauvelt, Hayabusa Design, SL Confidencial magazine, The SL Enquirer, Swank Events, Womenstuff & Menstuff groups, ProPose, The Latin Quarter and Javi Gearz Video.
