I’ve fallen in love with these “Devil-wears-Prada” fashionistas from the Second Life fashion house, “House of Lu” and their label: Paper Couture. Their work is a bit edgier than most of the popular SL fashion houses, and whoever is behind it has enough snarkiness to make them amusing. But their work consists of some lovely [...]
