Baroque Fashion Week?

Marketplace Archive ** CLOSED **

Duchesse de Saint-Pierre: I like your concept! If you would like a hand in the coordination I would be more than happy to have you on-board!

Most Christian Majesty: I called it Baroque Fashion Week because, well, I was tired when writing it (so sorry!) I know the title did not exist but perhaps a seal of approval, like the 1772 seal, that can be used by the grand winner? I know in later centuries the British Royal Family granted the use of their coat of arms to certain merchants supplying the royal family but not too sure if that was done in the late-18th century. Either way, it would show the SL designer has the skill and knowledge to create gowns specially made for the time period. I do like Alexis' concept. With your permission, could we have a meeting sometime this week? I am fortunate to enjoy a break before I begin my new work and school schedule so I will have the free-time to coordinate with the appointed board and send out invitations etc.

Another idea I would like to present for the Baroque Fashion Week is the setting of the venue. Should it be held a la 18th century salon, or like a modern fashion show? The big difference is presentation, as the former would more than likely have models standing in one spot while attendees walk around, view the gowns and discuss (or gossip) court affairs while enjoying baked goods and tea. The latter would be organized with seating arrangements while models walk the runway.

Also, any suggestions for venues?

Could we possibly start a list of potential designers?

Let's definitely talk about this. I won't be in-world this weekend so it would be best we exchange messages here. :D

To further entice designers, perhaps cash (Linden) prizes could be given out. A prize would be given to a designer in several categories - New Designer, Accessories, Wig-Maker, etc. - with a larger prize given to a designer that exemplifies the skills and knowledge of an 18th century designer (perhaps, with the coveted title of Grand Couturier).

I'm sure many of you are aware of the growing number of Court rp-ers, and with that comes opportunities for designers and other merchants to create goods. I was wondering if any designers would like to take part in a Baroque Fashion Week(end) sometime in September of October.

Content Rating & OOC vs IC

General Discussion

(I think I'm going to present myself as an even bigger dork, but whatevs)

There's a website that is heavily involved in their roleplay; it's based on geo-political affairs and such. As I'm a member, I noticed they do balance out the "professional" aspect (discussing treaties, creating their own countries' wiki page, even making their own newspapers) with an OOC section where members can post their RL pics of themselves and their travels. Not saying it's wrong to take the Royal Courts seriously, but I do think it's nice to sit back, have a breather and laugh. Just like the real court ladies and gentlemen, sometimes it's nice to get out of our elaborate accoutrements and enjoy the simpler things

Roleplay Currency System - to date

General Discussion

And now another topic! To date, which Courts/Nations implement the RP currency system and how does it work between the Courts?

O Tesso Casa Comercial Real de Lisboa - Trading in second-hand Court goods

I see I see. I think I know what I'm going to do...No reselling, but something a little more "chic", if I do say so myself.

Now I could be very wrong - and, if someone has the correct historical information, please let me know! - but from what I've observed is that salons of the French elite were also opportune for ateliers, furniture-makers etc. to present their work; women of Society would commission gowns or have furniture made and they could "show it off" at the salons. Now, could - with a very big 'C' - it be possible to have some work commissioned by a certain artist and have it showcased at an event presented as a salon?

La Contessa makes a very interesting point (as well as M. de Dampierre). What if the reselling was of only former collections purchased directly from the merchant themselves and resold in an almost art exhibition display? (Or, does that entirely defeat the purpose...)
