Angels Kristan, the Creative Force behind Virtual Diva is an innovator and an inspiration. She is better known as Angy and she is multifaceted, creative, and kind—a rare breed in SL. Angy discovered SL as a website promotion, and with that in mind, she took it to the tenth degree and created a place where everyone can feel comfortable and stylish. It is a shop where you will feel elegant and beautiful, inside and out. That is the essence of the brand created by Angy, and once you wear Virtual Diva, you will understand the creative talent that makes this brand so popular across the grid.

Angy has an artistic soul—it is in her genetic makeup. She grew up in a home of artists including the full palette of the genre from actors, singers and musicians to painters. Expression is part of the heritage of her family so it is no surprise that Angy was drawn to the world of fashion. She says, “For me fashion is art, it is how I express myself and it is how I see the world. More importantly it is how I see every woman in the world: beautiful inside and out...and empowered.”

It is only logical that this love of fashion and artistry found a place in Angy’s heart in SL. “I have always loved fashion in RL. I was always compelled to see what was on trend and how models on the runway were using the most cutting edge looks.” She adds, “I like the mystery of glamour and artistry that models exude especially when they wear my creations...it is fulfilling.”

Virtual Diva has been around for eight years. Angy states, “I started at a very small booth in a Latino Club, I remember that. Precious was the name of my first outfit.” It is no surprise that Virtual Diva grew in popularity because Angy, the creator, puts her heart and soul into what she makes. “I am inspired by the world. Sometimes I am inspired in the moment...the sounds of birds, the rushing waves, silence, flowers in bloom, and the purr of a cat. I see fashion like small pieces of life that I try to combine in every possible way—it is a way to be free and a way to show what I treasure in my heart.” Any anniversary in any life is important, but because time passes so quickly in SL with so many daily changes, eight years and counting for Virtual Diva is a true accomplishment.
