Designer: Celeron Voom - Born 05-03-2007
"I don't want to design like a designer, I want to design like an artist"
PF: When and why did you join SL?
CV: I have no idea, to tell you the truth. I joined SL many many months after my profile [setup]. The first time I played, I was bored and hated camping (10L$ in 30 minutes isn't pay!). The second time I came on, I met one friend after another that built me to what I am today.
PF: How long have you been designing in SL?
CV: I started back in August 2007, with my first collection, that one was just for fun though.
PF: What prompted you to start designing?
CV: It was on one of my friend's advice * you know who you are *. They asked me what I do in real life. I told them I was a student in fashion ....and they slapped me on the back of my head and said "Um, there is your SL job"
PF: How would you describe your style?
CV: Out of the box, crazy, rebellious. Oh, you mean fashion..... not me, lol ...neko wear.
PF: When SL residents wear your clothes, how/what do you want them to feel?
CV: I want them to feel like they stand out in a crowd. I don't want to design like a designer, I want to design like an artist. And as an artist, my first will never be like my last.
PF: Tell us about your latest designs?
CV: I made a free outfit that anyone can pick up. I promote pro-peace and I expressed that in the outfit. I'm tired of seeing people harmed in the world, just for living. It's not much.... but I hope to pass at least a small message to the people of SL.
PF: What advice would give an up and coming SL designer?
CV: Never give up no matter what anyone says. If you like your clothes, then that's all you need.
PF: What do you know now that you wish you had known when you started?
CV: I don't know......I have the best friends for support in all SL * Casey , Faide , Tina, Myla, Snickers, Skyler, Domineck, Fun, Kagome, Margie, Migon, Phreddy, Really, Topher, Sage, Sabastine, Marisca, Loom, Hound, Fio, Racker, Lavela, Kenzo, Rosie, Dohran, Diana, Badseed*.... I love all of you guys/ladies.
PF: Please tell us one or two notes about you as a fashion designer you would like to share with the SL world?
