Miu is a very special person to me. She has started as a student at GLANCE Model Academy and quickly became a top model, a stylist and won several modeling, styling and photo prizes. Miss Edman is a talented person and it is no surprise that she is known today for her fabulous hairstyle shop, called MIRONE. Miu’s success story is due to her fun and sweet personality as well as her incredible talent. She designs hair cuts like nobody else on the grid : gorgeous textures, impeccable style and unique fashion flair are the combination you will find in MIRONE’s hair collection.. Take a close look at this interview, Miu will never cease to amaze us...
Hello Miu! Tell me a little about yourself. Where are you from? What do you do in Second Life? Hello Patty! Thank you for this opportunity. Ok well... I’m from Japan. I’m MIRONE designer. I make mainly hairstyles for MIRONE for now. I also have worked as a stylist and model for some agencies. Where did you get the idea to name your brand «MIRONE» ? To tell the truth... it’s named after Spanish wine. Actually my MIRONE shop had already existed 1 year ago. It was a furniture shop at that time. When I prepared to start the furniture shop, I just happened to drink «MIRONE» in RL. When I saw the label of that wine, I thought « This is it!»The wine just gave me a good inspiration and I really liked the sound of the words. Even now, I don’t know why I thought so at that time. I didn’t get very serious about shop name. Back then, I never thought that I’d get asked what the name means! What was the first hairstyle that you ever designed ? It’s ADDIE. I made ADDIE for myself around March 2009 . I needed a hairstyle to go with a gown for show. You know, sometimes your choice is the same as other models’ choice . I wanted to avoid situations like this. Plus I wanted a hairstyle showcases the beauty of the dress and is not overwhelming. So I made it for myself. The hairstyle got a good friends from friends and YOU and I started to think about hair shop. Incidentally, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I release MIRONE hair cuts in alphabetical order.

Hello! I’m curious to know when you realized you wanted to become a fashion designer ? Styling my outfits for different shows, there was always some hairstyle in my mind I could not find in SL, so I decided to try to make it myself and it worked! What does fashion mean to you ? Fashion is a way of live, fashion is another way to express yourself, fashion is art! How would you define the style of your collection ? I would define my hair cuts as daring and non conventional for avatars who like to experiment and take some risks when styling their outfits. What are some of your accomplishments as a model ? And as a designer ? As a model I have been part of the most important agencies in SL, I have a very personal style that I think has been the key of my succes as a model, showcasing ethnic looks has also helped my success. As a designer... well I think it is too early to say. But from the feed back I have got so far, customers like those unusual and unique hair styles. Do you consider yourself as an artist ? I do, any kind of creation is art, anything that involves imagination and expresses your feelings or needs is art to me. How do you prepare for a fashion shoot or fashion show ? I like to have my outfits in advance cause i really spend lots of time styling them, I don’t stop till i say «perfect». Find the complete interview in GLANCE Magazine October 09 issue!

Hello Honey and congratulations! You are actually the first winner of this monthly nomination. How do you feel about this title ? Well, when Patty Cortes told me, for once I was totally speechless. And those who know me are aware that it doesnt happen very often, not unless when I’m backstage before a show and focused on just the performance. But I really feel so flattered, as GLANCE has one of
bones and determination to match! So finally she gave in. Aspire’s top model at the time, Aunnia Wilberg, took me out on the runway and taught me the basics, helped me poseshopping, skin shopping and explained the magic of the huddle. And then I was cast in my first ever show for Adored Clothing. I was a nervous wreck, the lag took me by total surprise and I crashed on the middle of the runway and came back noobed. It

GLANCE Model Academy Portfolio by Miu Edman
Hello, I’m Violette.. I’m a Top Model in GLANCE International Agency and Model Trainer at GLANCE Model Academy. For this month’s issue, we wanted to share with you our experiences as GLANCE Academy Graduates. Its’s always amazing to see our friends’ achievements, once GLANCE Students, and to hear about what they experienced with us. Here you will read what they share, by their own words. My first experience in Modeling had begun with GIA, when I was 9 months old in SL. Always been attacted by Fashion Modeling, i just didn’t know where and how to get started... Then I begun zapping through the Sims, and met Patty who welcomed me so warmly and explained with maximum patience how it works... I must say that I was very impressed by her professionalism (and I’m still very impressed of this). Then , I was there... GLANCE Student, but the great adventure was just in the beginning. One-on-one classes were truely amazing. I was feeling like a newborn, willing to discover this fascinating world. GLANCE became my second house, I was spending hours there to practice. And oh, also outside the classes hours I was continuously torturing my trainer and Patty with my questions: «but where...», «how can i...», «what if...» and so on..! I’m so thankful for their patience and kindness. When it was the time of my graduation show, I couldn’t believe to myself for how I was shaking. A rapturous adrenaline rush! Then it began to calm down with my first step on the runway. I was there with Nieve as the two new graduates, walking with the very top models, a complex choreography, coordinated for the amazing Ibizarre Showcase, and yes we made it !!! The newborn was now walking .... Now I’m so glad to be part of this big family as Model and Model Trainer. I’m represented by many highly professional agencies of SL, and finalist for Miss Virtual World 2010. Thank you GIA for all you gave me ..

Sometimes finding a style that fits you is very hard. You go out for shopping, looking around each and every store and you still won’t find what you need. We will not let this happen when you shop around Glance sim. Indeed, GIA now has a fantastic fashion center presenting the Top Designers of SL. With their help I was able to create 3 amazing look, my ‘‘Glance favorite styles’ of the month. .Lollipopz was the shop who helped me with the hairstyle as they create some of the most fantastic flexi hair cuts. For the skins, you can find the exclusive [KA] Designs satellite shop on the island. Glance sim is actually like a little mall presenting clothes, skins, eyes and a lot of tempting fashion products! But this time we are showcasing the gorgeous skin collection by Kira Ahn. On our sim, you can also find a reputable shoes shop, known mainly because of its extremely realistic textures and shoes HUD that are easy to use. We are of course evoking the the Bella Donna Shoes store, that hosts breath-taking pair of shoes, each one being more luxurious than the another!.**RS** Designs has got a mainstore on the sim and this is where you need to go to buy lovely accesories. I use them in my 3 style cards, I am sure you will love them too! Last but not least, I couldn’t resist the wonderul bag by PACADI Jasha, designed by Lotta Shelman. It is a it-bag!
