meow. spotlight - Boom part 1

Eln alter here.
This is going to be part one of a post featuring the catalog from Boom.

Boom @ meow.

Boom combines cute and sexy in a great way, utilizing bright colors without looking overblown or tacky. Have a look:

It's called *BOOM* Project Themeory Beach Bash

This bikini has fantastic colors and texturing. Not too saturated, and not too colorless either. Perfect for summer. It comes with the sculpted flower for hair which is nicely detailed and great for photos. Boom also has some similarly styled bikinis with different colors and floral designs.

Up next is a sailor outfit to follow the nautical theme of this post. I hope you enjoy the scenarios I've put together to fit the uniform:

The black and white cartoon really lends a classic feel doesn't it? But we don't get a good look at the clothing.

More tension and an up close view of the sailor uniform.

This outfit is called *BOOM* A Day on the Yacht

This outfit, like all products in Boom come in many colors. The hat and belt are purchasable only separately, though I feel that a pack containing an all inclusive set by color would help grease the product commercially.

The verdict:

It's nice to see a fashion designer in SL that isn't afraid to be cute and sexy without going overboard. It often seems like avatars will either become gratuitously scant of clothes or ultra-conservatives with 15 layers and vintage long dresses over jeans. This is a fantastic middle ground, yet still leaning towards sexy. Textures on the clothes are detailed and believable without exaggerated white highlights. One very important thing you should note: Darkly colored clothes in black, navy, or brown keep their detail making them believable and pleasant to look at.

Here is an example of dark clothing where detail lessened in the transfer of color to black, and how dull!:

I'm giving Boom's items in this post a:
