Hi there all, happy Christmas to all of you!

Here is a short post to let you know about a new project I’m currently working on. Latex hoods… People who know second life also know that the avatar head can only have one texture. So in order to make a hood, you need to make it together with a skin. That has been what I have been doing. Working on hoods and a skin. The first example of this skin / hood is the catwoman I did. More information on this project soon

I’ve also been working on other items which will soon be released! Untill then enjoy your vacation and see you soon!!

Some of you may already have seen them… I’ve kind of sneaked them into the store… New latex corsets! These are both corset based on a new buckle design I made earlier. The small corset came as an underbust version included in the expo 3.0 set, by popular demand I’ve upgraded it to a bust version. The other new corset is called Astra. It now is available in black, but I have this feeling that more colors or maybe prints will follow. Both corsets now come as bust and underbust and both sets are completed with gloves, stockings and something to wear as a bottom!

The bust of both corset will also be featured as a top in a new set soon too. Apart from that there is more new stuff coming your way… but I’ll tell more about that in future posts.

Take care and who knows, see you soon!

Some of you may have read in my profile that I would be on vacation till November 28th. This vacation is in Thailand and richt now the political situation is a bit unstable here… Protesters have blocked both airports of Bangkok and so I am stuck in Thailand… I hope to get back somewhere next week… See you then!

Slow.. or so it seems! At this moment my Flickr-account still shows the design I posted there two months ago and the store hasn’t been updated for a month… sure, i’ve added a snap of Ellen, Bianka and Alex having some poseball fun and from time to time I was talking to some visitors in one of my shops… but… What is mr. Hugo doing?

Well then.. maybe it is time for some more pictures from my new store which is slowly progressing towards opening to the public! I’m happy to tell that work on new items has started too. Note that these items will be available when the new store opens… When that will be? I hope soon ;) Before that the new stuff will be published again on my trusted Flickr stream! See you all soon I hope!!

So.. Slow times? I don’t think so…

Take care!

Yay! Hi there latex friends! Yes, I’m still alive in good health!

It has been silent around here… and with a reason (apart from a bloody busy rl..). As some of you may know already, I recently bought an island together with Tillie. On this island we will both build our own new store and more. Here is a sneak peek of my store! As you can see, the store isn’t in a sky box anymore!

As you can see the store itself still is a bit grey… I guess I’m almost ready to start editing the interior! I don’t know when the store is going to be open to the public.

In the mean while, work on new latex has started, but as you can probably guess, creating this new latex isn’t done at light speed. I hope to post some images of my new designs on my Flickr stream! I’ll promise to post more frequently from now on ;)

Take care and see you soon!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick message from me telling you I’m out of town a.t.m. I’m in Hugary right now writing this message from my hotel lobby in the lovely sunny, clean and pitoresque village called Szeged. I’ll be here during this week for a conference. This will be a latexless week for me ;) (I’ll manage…) I hope to start Hugo’s next week of releases next week!

Apart from that I’m currently working on items and releasing more than one set at once every time. Sometimes it takes a while before a new set that is announced is actually released… I’m thinking about changing that. Release notices will still be the same. But I think I’ll be releasing new items more often so you don’t have to wait so long :)

that is it for now, I’m going to explore Szeged some more before the conference starts!

Cheers!

At this moment, my shop is doing well, I am designing new stuff and I hope to get it out there as soon as possible. I love to meet new people and make new friends. Yet, as business grows busier it becomes harder to respond to all the IM-messages I receive. Especially since I’m not in sl full time. I run a design company in rl as well.

I’m really not complaining here.. more im’s means business is growing and expanding, I get to make cool outfits and see ppl wear my creations and most important of all, I get to know fun and interesting people too!

Right now I need to find ways to keep everything running smoothly, and I want you to know I am working on that. If there is ever a time that I don’t respond, you know why, and I’ll get back to you! If it is important, please send me a notecard!

Apart from that…. latex!!! I’m currently working on some smaller items right now, I’m going to sell pairs of pants (pants and chaps versions from the Expo sets for example), shirts, gloves etc… and yes, some of the items will even appear in more colors! In this picture you can see an example of a combination of these items.

Take care ;)

One of my best friends set up her own blog! The SL-Latex madame finally has a blog on which she will cover all that has to do with second life, latex fashion and photography. For those of you who haven’t seen this extremely stylish lady’s blog yet… click on the link to find Latexia Kavka’s SL latex blog!

As a clothing designer I am making latex items for some time now and if you know my work, you now know that I like to expiriment in materials and in different types of outfits. The very first items I made were non-latex lingerie items (the Thess and Suze sets). They didn’t sell very well, but making them I learned the most stuff I still use to make designs.

The items I make now vary from fetishy and bdsm outfits like the new (yet to be released) Expo 3.0 outfit to the cheerful summer style minidress (which isn’t released either hehe) to the lace / latex combinations in stylish lingerie items like the Ilya and Vox series.

I love to do it all, not only because there is an infinte number of possibilities and ideas for new sets. I also love to show ppl that latex items can be more than only fetish, or only bdsm (only to be worn in the bdsm-dungeon). A lot of people who never thought they would be wearing latex left my store with one or more items which they wear to a party or during a more private moment with their lover(s).

For all you latex enthousiasts (even if wearing latex is not a complete lifestyle for you), there is the SL-Latex group in Second life. Feel free to join and meet fellow latex minded people, models, photographers and more to talk to, exchange landmarks and links etc…! If you are on Flickr and you have nice Second Life and latex related pictures, post them in the SL-latex group! Me and Ellen hope to see you in upcoming events in Second Life and we’ll be seeing your pictures on Flickr!

Last thursday Hugo’s week of releases came to an end. I sent out a notice to my groupmembers and to the Fashcon network. I hope it has gotten out… I didn’t get it myself (yet). However… It was busy in the shop, so that means a lot of people did! Again this release was a succes and I want to thank my models Ellen and Tillie for making the latex sets look so great on the vendor posters!

So… What are the next plans? I expanded my current shop for the last time… I used the maximum in space and now I can add products until I run out of prims… It can probably last two or three more updates before I need to start thinking about a new one. I guess that will be in the end of this year.

I will also work on photography and illustration some more, and I’ll be working with Ellen and Latexia on that. I’m really looking forward to working on that, there has been very little time to do so in the past weeks. SweetJessy will most definately star on new pictures too!

Then there will be new sets too! I can already let you know that new designs are on the way. The main thing I am thinking about right now is which way to go. Right now I’m making fetish suits on one hand (like the expo sets) and on the other hand there are the more classy lingerie sets like the Ilya and Vox sets. For now I guess i’ll be making all kind of sets sonce all is selling really well. I’m also thinking about an occasional space suit and knowing myself, i’ll mix the three genres up again to come to more new idea’s…

As always, If you think you have a great idea for a new set and you’d like me to see if I can and want to make a real ‘hugo’ out if it, let me know! Both the Viktoria and Expo 2 set were made after a friend showed me a picture…
