Last weeks Sweethearts Plaza featured vendor was Rejuve's Raggs. Raggs is a bit of a misnomer for
the amazing outfits and gowns that can be found in this store. I set out to find out a bit more about the creative
talent behind the brand.
She goes by the name Christiane Armanii. This avatar’s human is resident in Ontario
Canada. She has extensive life
experience which has stood her in good stead in tackling all that SL has thrown
her way. Initially a stay at home mom
until her chicks were old enough, she then went on to be a bartender and offered
private housekeeping services. In her
spare time she came up with various creations to stimulate her creativity.

A friend who saw a video of her RL creations, thought that
Christiane would love SL. Her friend
brought her in, gave her a couple of LMs for content creation classes, and she
was off. She started building houses
but found boxes to be boring, but it gave her the basic building blocks to
start designing clothing.
Christiane sets out to create textures and styles not often
seen in SL. Mixing and matching elements so that we don't have the same old
same old.
She draws inspiration from what she has already designed,
reworking the textures and designs. She
said “A design request is best when it comes to inspiration, as it often forces
me out of my comfort zone. I tend to stick to color ranges that I personally
like and a specific request also remedies that.”
Christiane derives huge satisfaction when she see someone
wearing one of her creations. She said “It
says to me I AM good enough!”
I asked her what advice would she give to someone interested
in getting into the SL fashion design business.
She replied “Get ready to buckle down! Any failed creations are merely
stepping stones.”
To the question, what’s on the cards in the near future for
Rejuve's Raggs, she said “The near future is hard to predict. Long range the plan
is to be just like the other big names ;).”
The Rejuve's Raggs lady is anyone who appreciates well
textured, elegance. She's quietly seductive, with definitive class.
