I really don’t know why some people fuss about Simone’s outfits. I have heard her dresses described as haute couture but the only haute I could ever see in her couture was the price tag.
If I am going to pay top lindens for a frock, I want something with panache, with style, with zing. Something with je ne sais quoi that’s a real head-turner.
Her frocks are nice that’s true, and she uses some lovely textures. But real glamour, style and high fashion? I don’t think so.
It seems to me that Simone has just been around a long time.
She was one of the first to create stylish clothes using textures instead of paint and basing her designs on what was available in RL fashion magazines. Of course she was described in one of the first TV documentaries about SL as ‘The Top Fashion Designer” and people believe what they see on television.
In any case, she has some dresses out at the moment for $100 which is a good price for the quality. (I would happily pay $200 for these frocks of such delicate textures.)
They may be retired stock, some were displayed when CSI hit town. Last Call they may not be, but for $100.. a good buy
