Out With The Old....In With The New?


Archange Couture is the new store on the Dazzle sim which once housed the famous Last Call shop with creator Ginny Talamasca behind the clothing design. We received notices that Ginny was retiring from SL, and heard the rumors that the fashion designer with a skillfull eye had passed away in real life.


On March 31st Last Call closed it's doors one final time, but not before a massive $100 sale, which I spent WAY to much money at. The Dazzle sim was moved to the middle of nowhere, and eventually notices went out announcing a new shop Archange Couture," which now has designs on the same walls Last Call once inhabited.


I found the quality to be impressive, they have that Last Call feel to them, but most of the styles are a bit lacking to my taste. Katterina Dagostino and Danner Dosei have that same flair for quality that Ginny had, and I predict that they will only get better at it as time goes on.


So for now, I'll keep this one out of my LM hud and tuck it away at home in my dresser, because it's definitely worth a revisit down the road. If you like a casual style, Archange is definitely a place you should check out.


Outfits bought: "Martine"

Other shops on sim: Insolence, Muse, Cherished.
