Designer Saeya Nyanda of Kyoot Army has made a name for herself with gritty, funky, more neko-inspired fashion in the past but more recently, she’s branched out into sleek, sexy, vibrant pieces that are infinitely more feminine and, dare I say it? mainstream, but of course with her own stamp on it.

The Electro ballet outfit has an amazing leotard base, with a prim skirt that you can choose to wear, or not. And a stripey tube underneath that you can choose to wear or not…but if you don’t wear it, your nips totally show in the front. Which, if you’re me, is a problem, but I’ve seen plenty of…avatars out there who don’t seem to mind walking around with their bewbs hanging out, so whatever floats your boat. This is also available in several colours, but I stuck with the basics for now.

I am always on the lookout for well-done system skirts. I know, they give you a giant ass and finding anims that don’t warp the shit out of them is difficult too, but I can’t help myself! They’re so sophisticated and sleek, and the New Money Wool dress definitely fits that description. Available in a plethora of bright colours, as well as your more standard, black, white and grey options, it’s a mix-and-matcher’s dream with all of the layers and different belt options. One thing that’s missing though, is a fatpack *cough*

There are so many ways to create a swimsuit in SL, but sadly for us, a lot of designers don’t put a lot of creativity into making something new and very different. The Stripey Bikini is not such a suit though, and my absolute favourite part is the buckle back-closure. I am not a fan of thong bikinis, and the coverage on this one is perfect for me. The Last Resort One swimsuit is actually not listed under Saeya’s name when you purchase it, so I’m not sure if it’s a new partner, or for this particular item only, or what…but I do know I love the design, especially the back, which I fail in showing you, but trust me, it’s pretty. This colour was a gift to me by my lovely boyfriend who knows my favourite colour is navy <3. And even though it doesn’t come with one of the textured thin electro belts, I felt like giving it a bit of an 80’s flair workout leotard look to it, then adding a contrasting red bracelet to make sure I look really ready to break a sweat now

You may be one of those who curses and maligns someone for stepping outside of their own box with something new, but I have to give Saeya some credit where credit is due: Not everyone is limited with their style likes and comforts, and while she may fully love the grungified look, she may also like to dress up all girly sometimes too. So stop being bitches about it and just don’t buy the new stuff if it’s not your style, sheesh!

Visit the new, and different, Silent.
