Welcome to this special Anniversary Edition of The Edge! This month, to celebrate one year of it's existence, the Edge has broken free from Kultivate magazine, to be issued as a mini magazine of its own. We celebrate a year of exploring new boundaries, breaking new ground, inspiring, exciting, and making art and fashion a new buzz concept in Second Life. This magazine showcases six of our Edge Stylists and their interviews provide a fascinating glimpse of how they use their creativeness. I have also enjoyed a chance to review the past year and celebrate achievements. Cover art is from an image by Judelin Eyre Kluge Vorgrimler, one of our Edge Models who is now an Edge Stylist, congratulations Judelin! We look forward to an amazing year ahead, with some wonderful things planned, and more that are just twinkles in our eyes. Fashion and art are indeed a 'match made in heaven' as someone recently told me. Both have no boundaries except for the limits of imagination and vision. So let your creativity break free! I leave you with a quote… “Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of Imprisonment”- Alexander McQueen Enjoy :) Eleseren Brianna, Editor and Curator of the Edge Kultivate COO
MEET THE EDGE STYLISTS: RAMSA LUV WRITER: THE EDGE P H OT O G R A P H Y: R A M S A L U V
THE EDGE. Hi Ramsa, thank you so much for agreeing to be interviewed for this Anniversary Edition of The Edge. You have had a long career in SL Fashion, how do you think it has changed over the years? RAMSA. Yes I started in some ways in fashion in SL in 2011, but I was not really ready then to engage with it because I was insecure of myself and what I was doings and not fully understanding how things work in SL. When mesh came to the Second Life grid, things became better looking but this also caused more lag inworld. So I hope Linden Labs thinks about more powerful servers in the future.
my best to look good, but there have been some changes that have led to more work and that is mostly nice. The Stylists role changed a bit with mesh with mesh bodies and heads. I hope that creators start to support males more than they currently do nowadays. For the most part SL outfits are more for females, which is a little sad. I miss the time of prims, with the furs and moving styling parts I loved them a lot, and feathers too.
THE EDGE. What really inspires you as a Stylist and what do you love about Styling? RAMSA. A Stylist's life in SL is pretty creative, you can have your own In Fashion, the style now has gone mind and it is relaxing to see how towards more blogs and events and the same outfit parts can at gatchas, so creators and bloggers different times look different, but are very active. However I wish also a little bit more realistic now. there was more runway shows in My Inspirations I get from music, the future too. movies, and other people in Second Life and I love it because it is my THE EDGE. What is it like being a lifestyle here. I try to look better male model/stylist in SL nowadays? and better every day or week or have things changed or improved for month. you as regards the fashions out there? Are there things you miss? THE EDGE. Mesh has had a huge RAMSA. I feel things are mostly impact on SL Fashion, how has it similar in some ways to what they impacted on you as a Stylist? were at the start of SL Fashion. I try RAMSA. In my opinion mesh is nice in
in photos but it lags sims, mostly because its render weight is bigger. However at the same time scripts are less than in prim times. Mesh wearing is simple too if you are using mesh bodies. Just adding pieces and appliers go on easy . Mixing things together is the hard part sometimes because you cannot be sure about matching colors. For example one creator's blue and another creator's blue are not necessarily the same kind and you just need a bit of luck then. THE EDGE. Why is Fashion and Art important to you. What are your ambitions as an Artist and a Stylist/ Model? RAMSA. When I first logged into SL grid, I was very interested to find people from around world and I tried to learn English. Then I started to notice that it looked kind of cool, it became my own kind of addiction and s life style in time. It gives my real life personality a boost to see my looks getting better and better over the years so I am happy about what the creators make. I have no big ambitions because mostly my SL dreams have come true and I have got amazing friends here and the net life style in SL is the best I can
know so it keeps me logging in. In future what I want to become more involved in is volunteering and helping. I not want to do things pretty much for money because that is not why I log in. You need be happy for what you have today and I have got more than I have ever wished for in SL. THE EDGE. What are your best memories from your time in SL Fashion and what dreams do you still have for your life in SL? RAMSA. My best memory is being in Mr. Virtual World Contest in 2012, because I made amazing new friends and it was all new and interesting for me. Then a great memory too was winning Mr. MetaStylista in 2012. This year, 2016, is being totally an amazing year for me because I have found things to do that are close to my heart and passions. My motivation and inspiration finds a lot around me because mesh makes things by this time look so cool. Thanks for Interviewing me and I want to send a message to my friends, supporters and fans to have a nice end of year! :) I wish you all will have more good years and more
more passion in the future and I hope you all have a nice coming year of 2017. Hugs and Love! Greetings: Ramsa Luv

Style is the wearing of the SL fashion scene for men fashion items in such a way as to nowadays achieve a balance, a sense of PARADOX. I would have to say the harmony among the items so that fashion scene for men has everything works together definitely improved over the years, beautifully. because now we have monthly sales for menswear only, and THE EDGE.

To me there isn't much installations in SL is another big of a difference, it's just a different

What I wear in the photos are key elements of the artwork. THE EDGE. What else do you enjoy doing in SL PARADOX. I enjoy Djing, for events and at clubs all over, and I enjoy exploring sims and doing Madpea games with my friends.

Fashion is for me stand the reason for becoming a expressing feelings and emotions sheep of many instead of being an with the help of clothing, stylings, individual and being different. makeups and hair.

I short so I don't bore the readers to think I am a kind of revolutionary much. *haha* I got basically found human being and not just in SL. I by an agency owner and he showed think I always try to break me the world of fashion from his stereotypes and swim against the side and I started to grow into this big crowd as much as it is possible world over the years of contests, for me without hurting anyone shows and all kind of agencies around me or myself with it. For where I saw many getting started example, for around some years and closed again by time because now it became a bit of a trend to be of different reasons. I am glad some very skinny in modeling.

FALBALA. Hard question, very hard question. Uhm, yes I agree it changed a lot. Of course also because of the change from system and sculpt clothing into the option to use mesh. But mostly I see the change in fashion in the people themselves. How shows are managed. How magazine stylings are requested. Who gets casted for pictures with a specific styling. How contests get judged these days compared to 5 years ago. There I see a lot that it is unlike what I got told and trained when I started to become a model. What I am very glad of is the fact that people open themselves more and more for avatars who are not the typical stereotype of a human model. I think it started with the big wave of androgynous models around 2011/12. Then we had the wave of models, I think it was around 2013/14 who tried so much to stick out that the "beauty" part of the old view of fashion got changed a lot. And what makes me very happy of course is the fact that models like me, who are not 100% human gets accepted slowly more and more. THE EDGE. What are your best memories from your time in SL
Fashion. FALBALA. The best memories I get in my mind right away was to be able to meet so many different people with the same way of passion. That we all share kind of the same love for beauty, colors, creativity and art. Of course there are everywhere the famous bad apples in a family but they are very rare to the amount of people I don't want to miss anymore being a part of my life in the one or the other way and to do something good with this. By maybe just being there and lend my ear if someone needs it to try some tears or a heavy heart or being able to help with a project they want to make come true and I can be a part of the process in any kind of a way. Yes, I think those are my best memories I have when I look back on the years I have been in fashion. THE EDGE. what would you say your personal style is? what kinds of Stylings are you happiest doing? FALBALA. I guess everyone who sees me thinks I am only into fantasy because of my ears. But even I really like the fantasy area a lot I also love the Avant Garde stylings or the more creepy dark stylings. As an elf model you are
very fast in the fantasy stereotype box, but my favorite RL designer is and will always be Alexander McQueen and his kind of expression of fashion is absolute what I love to see and do in SL.

And I love this people all over the world to raise line, because it opened my eyes a awareness for diseases and health lot by viewing at my pictures and problems which are not that in not to try to hard to get an specific focus like cancer and AIDS. The
media overloads the society with all kind of catastrophes, which let us become blind for the small things directly happening in front of us. Like the women who has to send her child to a food care, so it gets something warm to eat once a day because she is at home with a burnout and depression. Or the freezing child in our neighborhood, who has to warm himself up in a trash bag right around our corner because his parents work in double shifts and deal with drug problems. During our focus is fixed on cases which are awful, which are sad, which are in need for help somewhere far away from us. I don't want to talk that small, don't get me wrong. But we forget with all this huge catastrophes from the media and news, that our own city, our own country is also in need for help in so many cases. And in this smaller cases we can help fast and right away and prevent from bigger catastrophes happening. When we have the awareness to see them without the help of a TV or Internet or a social media clip on FB which shows us blood, tears and death, then we are on a good way. When we see only death and blood, it is already too late. Prevention and
Awareness are the key. We can't help everyone, but anyone can help someone. And if I can transport that also somehow in some of my pictures or songs I usually share with them, then I am already relieved.
