Piper Moda

It’s navy blue fabric, with front and back panels in faux ‘leather look’ pleather, and silver threading up the sides which is backed onto rubbery ‘invisible’ shoulder straps. Accessorize with silver shoes and delicate jewellery.

'Chiara' - a 1960-style patchwork bikini I designed in b&w and colour versions.

'Charlene' - a dress I designed yesterday with Kylie in mind. I thought I'd try limiting myself to one colour and see what I could come up with. I'm rather pleased with this.

'All Hands' - a graduated sheer swimsuit decorated with hands of various colours and opacities.

'Rimini' - a swimsuit commissioned from me, which I made in 6 different colour versions. There is a very faint geometric pattern on the main background colour, which I think gives it a hint of modern 80s retro. Anyway, the client loved it and I rather like it too.

A colour variant of my Trio bikini design called 'Trio Aqua', modelled here by my friend Abby. I would love to make this in real life one day.

'Trio' - a bikini I designed for someone who asked for 'something reggae' to wear at a beach party. I'm rather pleased with this and intend to make it in a few other colour combinations, along with a mens' version.

I made this 'Halloweeny' bikini as a freebie promo item for my stores and took myself off on a kind of Ellen von Unwerth style Halloween photoshoot at the SL version of Bates Motel for a bit of fun.

Hopefully, this is a first step of many towards breaking into real life fashion...

'Portofino' - a swimsuit I designed with real life in mind, inspired by seeing Kylie on holiday in Portofino. It ended up in my SL shop anyway. The 'white' stripe is actually white sheer, but it's not too visible in these 'photos'.

'Midnight' - a not-too-formal formal dress that I designed for my friend, Faye, for a red carpet evening. The dress is dark blue, with a slanted opaque skirt, finished with a sheer floor-length split skirt. The mid-section is a very shiny blue pvc with gold trim.

'Faye' dress - party dress that I designed for my friend, Faye. It's slightly stretchy, made up of an opaque middle part, sheer stripes around the shoulder and a sheer lower skirt. The decoration on the side is made from glitter and 'starry' effect sparkles, with cut out diamond shapes. The front and back are symmetrical, so this dress can be worn either way around, over the left or right shoulder. I designed this in Photoshop and rendered it in Marvelous Designer.

Shown here with Kylie's own D&G handbag and Louboutin Batignolle shoes.

'Jane Yellow' - another colour variant of the 1950s-inspired Jane swimsuit

'Jane Cerise' - one of 5 variations on my Jane swimsuit design, which has a translucent panel down the front, a high-waisted wide faux belt with a chrome oval buckle. Modelled here by my friend Lilly.

"Rojina" - yellow and gold '70s-style'  evening dress designed for a friend.
