SHOWstudio blog has a post up about a preview of Victoire de Castellane's Dior Joaillerie collection inside Second Life:
Based on a fictional island where Belladonna blooms (the poisonous Deadly Nightshade women during the used to drop into their eyes during the Renaissance, to dilate their pupils and simulate erotic excitement), Dior Joaillerie's 'Belladone Island' presence on the site is characterised by these animated, predatory flowers: for instance, the petals of this 'Dracula Spinella Devorus' open thanks to a minute watch mechanism. If you fancy a look before the real jewels reach the shops in late February -and once you've registered and downloaded the software- search under 'Belladone' and teleport yourself into the sensual world of Ms Castellane.
