Upon first arrival at Alisa Wycliffe's Wicked Fashion shop I am immediately reminded of my home town of Toronto. Shopping at Wicked Fashion feels very much like many of the great clothing stores located on the Queen St. strip, and if you've ever been shopping on Queen St. you will probably agree. There's just something different about shopping in the city and if you happen to be a city girl, like myself, you will also agree that Alisa has definitely captured that feeling.
I suppose you don't have to guess what sort of product you will find at Wicked Fashion, but if you're into casual, hip, and comfortable city wear then this is the place for you. Numerous styles of tops, tanks, skirts, denims, and multiple outfit combinations decorate the walls of Wicked Fashion. The first thing to catch my eye is the Shortie Hoodie Sweatshirt($85L), an adorable short sleeve midriff zip-up sweatshirt with sculpted hood. Or you can purchase the set which comes in all three colours(red, blue, black) plus a great pair of ultra low denims($225L).
There's a hope of spring in the air at Wicked Fashion, Alisa's collection of tanks and tube tops will have you ready for those warm SL nights like the Stretch Tank Top($65L) with it's exposed tummy and fabulous creased details. Or the super sexy Satin Lace Tube Top($65L) with it's swooping low back and beautiful embroidered detail. Both tops are also available in a 3 colour combination and Wicked's Ultra Low Premium denims($175L for either). For you girls that crave short skirts you won't be disappointed. Wicked's selection of minis cover cute, sexy, and unique with styles for everyone like the Black Leather Skirt with optional bracer, or the Celtic Knot Skirt also with optional leg chain($95L for both).
With the right sense of style and Wicked Fashion's low price tag the outfit combinations are limitless. So, if you love simplicity mixed with style and detail, and are ready to bust into summer(who isn't??), then stop by Wicked Fashion and start the new season off right.
Kayleigh Hendrassen: Hello Alisa, i'm excited to speak with you, from one city girl to another, and after touring your shop, I feel we may have a lot in common... shopping! lol.
Alisa Wycliffe: Hi Kayleigh! lol, yes, I'm such a reckless shopaholic and I love checking out other designer's work. I'd love to tour your favorite shops sometime, I bet you know all the hidden gems!! :)
KH: Alisa, you've really captured that city feeling with Wicked Fashion, with your styles, and with the shop itself, what else have you tried to convey with Wicked Fashions in regards to city life and shopping in general.
AW: Well I am totally inspired by the look and feel of the boutique shops in the villages of NYC, with the exposed and/or painted brick and the beautiful hardwood floors. I really wanted to convey a realistic upscale shopping experience in my store that gives you that same warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you walk off the crowded city streets into those quaint little boutique shops. Of course, my main store is a bit bigger than most city shops but that's my fault, LOL, I'm just totally addicted to making clothes in SL and I keep expanding! :)
KH: You seem to have a love for cute, functional tops and clothes that can be worn in various mix 'n match combinations. Clearly this is another trait you've picked up being a city girl. Do you think the functionality and diversity with fashion carries over in SL?
AW: Oh I really think it does, and I offer a free pair of jeans with most of the top sets/packs to make sure everyone has that option. The black leather skirt is perfect with almost anything too, lol. I try hard to offer a good mix of designs that you would wear in RL, and some items that might be just a little too risqué for your RL taste.. anything goes in SL! :)
KH: I notice you pay close attention to detail, something very important with quality wear in SL, do you think you will try your hand at more sculpted items down the line? Your sculpted Hoodie is adorable by the way. =)
AW: LOL, thanks! I have new hoodie colors coming out soon, including a really cute pink version! But yes, I've already started including sculpted items in some of my designs, and I'm also working on designing sculpted shoes and boots too! Detail/realism in general is really really important to me, and designers like Redgrave offer me tons of inspiration. I have to admit I'm also a complete perfectionist and I'm known to spend waay too many hours in Photoshop working on a single piece just to get every little detail right. :)
KH: What is the best way for Wicked Fashion enthusiasts to keep on top of your upcoming collections and future designs.
AW: You'll get the most info about new designs, freebies, midnight mania updates, etc, by joining the "Wicked Fashion" group! In fact you'll get a group invite the first time you walk into the main store, or you can just search for it in groups (open enrolment). You can also track us down on the web at www.wickedsl.com! The web site is sort of a work-in-progress but it's coming along nicely, so far. Of course, anyone is welcome to IM me, too. I welcome feedback about the store and suggestions for new designs. :)
KH: Thank you so much for taking some time away from the city life to sit down with me Alisa!
AW: omg, it's my pleasure Kayleigh! Thanks so much for your time, and let me know when you want to go shopping! :)
