If you've never attended a virtual fashion show, LUXE Paris is offering you a golden opportunity to perfect your SL education: the LOOK of the YEAR grand finale, which will be held on September 8th at 9:30 AM SLT!
And if you're already a fan of Second Life runways, you probably know that the LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR contest finale is one of the great fashion spectacles to see!
Created 10 years ago by LUXE Paris, the LOOK of the YEAR contest aims to find the best possible ambassador for the famous brand. But it's also an excellent excuse to create a great fashion moment.
On stage, eleven passionate and exciting finalists who will compete in beauty and creativity in the hope of winning the prestigious title of LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR and the impressive prize pool of L$50,000 cash!
TEN WOMEN FINALISTS AND ONE BRAVE MAN!
Ten women and one man! Indeed, the LOOK of the YEAR 2024 competition was, for the first time, open to men. If they seemed a little destabilized by the unisex formula of the competition, one brave man still managed to reach the final, among all these spectacular female beauties.
Starring on the 2024 LOOK of the YEAR runway: Ame Morningstar, Aria Absinthe, Catsmeow17 better known under the pseudonym of Kitty, EleanorJean, Girasolmx, Jude Tatham, Keira Rhapsody, Tilly Opaline, TwinkieBean, VanessaJane66 and gentleman WyattFrost!
Selected from hundreds of applications, the 11 greats distinguished themselves not only by their beauty and style but also by their ambassadorial qualities.
"The Judges' Brunch, which took place a few weeks ago, gave us a lot of information about the personality and communication skills of each of the finalists," explain Mika Palmyra and Parisian Skytower, the co-owners and chief designers of LUXE Paris.
"They all gave a short speech on their vision of the ambassador role and the jury also had the opportunity to question them."
AN IMPOSING JURY FOR A FAIR DECISION
Sixteen judges make up the LOOK of the YEAR jury and it is the same jury that selects the semi-finalists, finalists and winners.
