Zeudi (scatola.memo): hello people π Β The shop is not overwhelmed with stuff as I am a slow builder lol
Alice: ohh quality, not quantity! Arphen, you help me with questions, right?
Arphen :just looking around…the shop itself is very nice, even the architecture it is built in…looks great
Zeudi (scatola.memo): yes I love this building is simple and handy I have enlarged it a bit from its natural size
Alice: how did you get the idea of opening a sl shop?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): well it was the Commune to put over may fingers the itch and the desire to start making these kind of clothes. Then after I started it came natural to try sharing my thing too
Alice: so they are commune inspired? ohh nice!
Zeudi (scatola.memo): oh yes definitely it comes from the Commune the inspiration
Arphen :do you get inspired by other designers?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): yes more from real life clothes more than sl
Arphen :seeing some of the stuff it has some late 60’s to 70’s inspiration, very commune-like…definitely seeing how the commune inspired you there
Zeudi (scatola.memo): Yes I have a tendency for fancy colored clothes myself so I enjoy working around this style
Alice: you know, it’s the first time I land my hands on a creator.. grins.. now I will be able to ask many many questions!
Zeudi (scatola.memo): haha ok
Alice: how long does it take the process for 1 piece? From the idea to the actual thing?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): it depends like every other piece that has to come out from brain, sometimes the idea comes easy and smooth and some other you work around a piece for a week and then throw all out.
Alice: nods, that’s why the place is not crammed with stuff. I see many shops that go for quantity: sell cheap but don’t put much effort in the design. The price range in this shop?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): around 150 L. Something like the peacock dress costs a bit more but it’s not the rule π
Arphen :did it take long for you to get the clothes exactly like you wanted them or was it maybe even simpler than you thought?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): Oh I didnt get any clothes yet exactly like I want haha, there is always something that I could do better and that I change in the next clothe. I guess it’s something related to be never satisfied
Arphen :thats the creator’s dilemma hm? ^^
Alice: yep, perfectionist π
Zeudi (scatola.memo): hehe yes. Well its the fun part to try getting better. Also I use a lot of mesh templates, so I put more effort on working on textures and adds-on
Alice: yep, mesh templates solved the big fear of mesh. I guess to make them takes lots of know how and then time.
Zeudi (scatola.memo): yes and I find them as handy as sculpties were when they came out. You take a bare shape and work to make it become something else
Arphen :amazed by the quality of the textures I must say….very sharp, that’s not common
Alice: can you pose for us beside one of your favorite creations for girls and for guys?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): hmm I would prefer you chose something and wear it yourself so you can send me some mutter cuz the mesh doesn’t fit haha
Zeudi (scatola.memo): or all the three together
Alice: lol
Alice: ok, we do that but first you pose π
Arphen :was thinking about buying one of those tank tops anyway I must say
Alice: how do you promote it?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): well actually I am promoting a bit on Facebook and with my Blog
Alice: ohh can you give us the link?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): sure http://bohoish.wordpress.com/Β andΒ http://www.facebook.com/pages/BOHOish/577020818994641
Alice: I’ve the impression that marketing one’s stuff is as hard and creating stuff
Zeudi (scatola.memo): marketing is maybe more fatiguing than creating hehe
Arphen :are you considering to offer fat packs as well for the clothes here?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): yes I like fat packs! I will definitely add them
Alice: now pushes zeudi towards the room
Arphen :*grins*. Patience young padawan…patience ;P
Zeudi (scatola.memo): in this room there are the recent stuf, and in the other some of the older… not much older though π
Alice: when did you open it?
Zeudi (scatola.memo): a couple of months ago π
Alice: hei, I fit in the small! that’s size-marketing! grins
Zeudi (scatola.memo): haha
Zeudi (scatola.memo): what will be perfect with mesh is when they will adapt your body whatever it is, LL seems are working on that I cant wait π
Arphen :finally an xs-top thats wide enough on the lower side for mesh pants as well! Others are so tight the mesh pants overlaps with them
Alice: ohhh yep, that’s another problem with mesh if you want to wear more than one piece. “normal” clothes will stay because of that too I think
Zeudi (scatola.memo): yes π
Arphen :somehow i’m glad having none atm
Alice: Well, thanks for showing us our shop Zeudi. It has really great stuff.
