we fortify our strengths. There is no one area that we could suggest to you where Entente might fall down in comparison to another brand...perhaps in lack of stock or releases, but we’ve only been open one month and we will be open many, many more.” There are quite a few options for stores in SL, and it is not always easy to find one that you like, but when you do find it, its clothing and accessories can quickly become a staple in your inventory. With the many choices out there, Entente believes that what sets them apart from other designers is their attention to detail. “We believe our customers will attest to this. There is nothing we will consciously overlook. We will spend hours, days and weeks in development of a product, time discussing it with our team, time learning new skills, new software and new methods. If something is not 100% it will not be released. There are many items that other stores have released that we have scrapped in favor of completely redoing the design. This is all in addition to on excellent customer experiences from our gifting and redelivery systems, our absolutely secondto-none customer service and a near flawless HUD system with our textures pack updates… and that’s only for starters.”

For them, the best part of being a designer is “definitely having the opportunity to create what you wear inside of Second Life; besides that, it is always fantastic to see how bloggers will interpret our creations, and how they will include them in their stylings. There is something particularly rewarding witnessing a design from its conception to its final resting place in our customer’s inventory showcased by the simplest Flickr® or Plurk® image, to the most intricate blog or magazine post. They are all wonderful.” It is amazing to see the diversity and skills that these six designers each bring to the table in order to work as a team on this joint venture. “Individually, we all have quite specific, individual styles. While not necessarily always being interested in high fashion, we have all had a keen eye for smart, classic and innovative design long before we took pen to tablet.” Inspired by Givenchy, Hermès, Christian Louboutin, and Christian Lacroix, this group uses their inspiration to create hip and fun designs to enhance both the female and male avatar. Baudouin Resident, Caelestinus Resident, Guarinot Resident, Meraud Resident, Nazaire Resident, and Benezet Resident are designers to keep an eye on as they make a big imprint in the fashion world.
