“When I joined SL I was learning various 3D tools and needed the practice which prompted me into starting an art/sculpture gallery; however, when I got into avatar appearance and clothing it was due to the lack in men’s products on the grid,” he says. “It’s nice to be able to offer products for like-minded clients as I can relate to them and to what’s needed.” Designing skins, clothes and other accessories isn’t just a hobby for Diarmuid, it’s become a passion for him. He loves putting his ideas into physical forms and using his artistic side to create a product that he loves. “Every part in the designing process is enjoyable,” Diarmuid explains. “I enjoy the planning and textural part of designing as my passion has always been drawing and painting, and the feeling I get when painting is amazing.” For many people, designing comes from inspiration from outside sources, but Diarmuid focuses more on his artistic side when it comes to designing. For him, it’s more of a product of his own mind and inspiration. “A lot of times I get an idea and while am in the middle of working on it I get another idea and focus on that instead, or simply alter what I was originally working on,” he says. “It’s different almost all the time.” For Diarmuid, the high fashion industry just isn’t what Ispachi is all about. The pieces he creates he wants people to be able to wear all the time, not just to events and fashion shows. “My style is casual,” he explains. “There are a lot of designers who offer high-quality products for various occasions, but I feel more comfortable working with items you can wear on a daily basis.” Through offering a wide variety of skins and fashion, Ispachi has become very well known in the world of men’s fashion.
