What inspired you to create this new line of separates?
I've heard it said we need more separates in the shop ;) I thought it would be easy to put together a line of new items that can be worn in different ways- wow was I wrong! It was difficult to choose colors and patterns and which pieces and organizing it all! lol

How did you pick the name Luxe?
Once everything was finished I sat back and looked at the collection as a whole and that was the first thing that came to me. The texturing and vibrant colors I think are what brought this name to mind.

What thoughts went into deciding which pieces to put into the line?
I wanted pieces that could be bought one at a time or as a full ensemble. I had to keep in mind if the piece would be useful with other items in the store and how they go with the other pieces in the line. Also keeping in mind that summer is coming and we always want to keep it sexy ;)

What was the easiest part of making the Luxe line?
I can't think of anything that was easy in this- I set myself up for a challenge here.

What was the hardest part of making the Luxe line?
The organization of it all was a huge challenge. The actual design process was a little easier. I tried to focus on one piece at a time and worry about the big picture later so I didn't get overwhelmed. I think people don't realize how much time and work a designer spends on their designs. It is really a labor of love.

How did you decide upon the colors for the pieces?
I wanted some sweet prints in the mix and a good range of colors geared toward summer wear but that could also be used throughout the year. I wanted there to be something for everyone.

Are you planning on expanding the Luxe line?
Yes. I already have some pieces started.

Anything else you'd like to mention about this outfit?
I hope that everyone can find something they like in this collection and I hope you have fun with it. Fashion should be fun!

Any hints to your next amazing creation?
I'll be adding pieces to this line here and there. I think for my next 'big' project I'll be switching gears- I'm feeling dark and sexy... so will see what comes of that inspiration.

Behind the Scenes - Sekushii Bunneh

Have you ever wondered what goes on in LoveCats head? The story behind some of your favorite outfits? Now you can get a sneak peek into the world of LoveCats with this special blog exclusive interview about one of the latest LoveCats Neko Shop & Mall design; Sekushii Bunneh!


What inspired you to create this latest design?
I wanted to play with another Easter design, but something that could be worn outside the holiday, something a little darker and more exotic.

What was the hardest part of the outfit to design?
Making the right textures to get an Asian look but still keep it light enough to pull off as a bunny outfit

What was the easiest part of the outfit to design?
Since I used the same pieces, essentially, from the Harlequin Bunneh, I didn't need to totally rebuild anything. I think I managed to get a totally different look with the same pieces. This made it a little easier.

Why did you decide to make Sekushii Bunneh as well as Harlequin Bunneh?
I actually intended on a few different choices, but RL got in the way :(

What thought went into designing the male version of Sekushii Bunneh?
My biggest concern was making something that guys could wear outside of the holiday. I think It is hot without the ears and nose, neko guys can buy it now, or in June or September and it will still be wearable.

Your Easter outfits weren't pastel this year, how come?
I really wanted to try to get away from the 'Playboy bunny' look and the pastel bunny look that is so prevalent. I just wanted to do something different and fun.

Anything else you'd like to mention about this outfit?
I hope that I'll see these outfits around in a couple of months, that will show me I suceeded in making something usable throughout the year.

Any hints to your next amazing creation?
I'm working on some more requests and I am also feeling like going back to my 'sexy' roots... will see what comes of it ;)

Behind the Scenes - Harlequin Bunneh

 

Have you ever wondered what goes on in LoveCats head? The story behind some of your favorite outfits? Now you can get a sneak peek into the world of LoveCats with this special blog exclusive interview about one of the latest LoveCats Neko Shop & Mall design; Harlequin Bunneh!

What inspired you to create this latest design?
I wanted to do something fun and different for Easter, Also something that could be worn, maybe as a wild outfit after the holiday.

What was the hardest part of the outfit to design?
Getting the print to line up in photoshop! Grrr lol

What was the easiest part of the outfit to design?
Deciding on the overall look of the outfit, I knew I wanted it to be a little different, wild and fun.

How do you compare this years Easter style to the one you made last year?
Last years was very traditional, sweet Easter dress style. I wanted to give customers something totally different.

Do you plan to do any other harlequin style outfits in the future?
I may yes, who knows what might strike me.

Why did you decide to go flopped ears rather than upward pointing ears?
I like that they are different, not something on most of the costumes I see in SL, plus there is an extra sweetness I think to floppy ears.

Anything else you'd like to mention about this outfit?
I think after the holiday this could be a really fun part of anyone's wardrobe... I see it with a little goth tophat, torn stockings and granny boots with a silly umbrella or maybe part of an Alice in wonderland outfit.

Any hints to your next amazing creation?
I think I'll do a little for the guys and then take a breath and think "What do us kitties need?"
