Vivienne Westwood at MUISM

Vivienne Westwood's famed Pirate Boot


SL has amazingly innovative designers and the inspirations range from twists on RL trends to off-the-wall fabulous originals. The latest Muism boot is a beautifully done copy of Vivienne Westwood's winter-sensation Pirate Boot. Her amazing boot for women hit the RL runways a while back and is available now for men in SL at Muism under the same name. Price 550L (what a joke)

It's truly facinating to see people scam of rl designers and make an income of their own. It's a shame.

Vivienne would be mortified her boot looked like this. If we are going to give you 550L make the boot origianl.

Vivienne? I'm mortified at this designers build skills. Terrible. The replica looks bad.

550 I wouldn't take it for free.

...ok the beautifully done part was a fib...

I also think if your going to pass of as a sl fashion designer be original and for god sake change the name.

You obviously have no idea how the fashion industry works. Fashion designers design their work and then when they want to show case their collection they have a fashion show. It is common knowledge and that the auidence members are usually buyers, magazine staff and designers for department stores. Then the retailers designers make a replica of this and get the item made for the public to buy. This is common practice within the fashion community. There is no voilation of copyright and it is only a violation if the creater says they invented the design himself. Therefore there is no infringement made.

If you examine the board it says MUISM Pirate boots. No mention to the rl designer. This is violation of copyright. duh Migi and Ice are from china they don't know about copyright. Next will be LV Fake and they'll claim they designed it. FRAUDS MUISM FRAUDS

If your going to call yourself a sl fashion designer you can't copy people's rl work and name it the same. It's a violation of copyright law. Im glad inV got a picture of it for future references if they decided to change the name now. Designers yes mix and match other designer's collection but never copy it and name it the same.

The annoying thing about these boots for me is the lazy design and poor build techniques.

Considering you would have paid L$ 550 for them - which is not a small amount of money - just compare with what else is available from better designers in that price range, or for much less.

It does look like a thrown together, overpriced rip-off from Muism. I am thinking they probably have "IDIOT" printed on the soles.

What customers don't know about Muism is, you are not paying for quality or fresh design. You are paying to cover their advertising bill. Its no secret that Muism paid HUGE amounts in advertising the place, and thats the only reason anyone every heard of it.... but the quality of the merchandise never lived up to the promise. They are just trying to siphon off as much cash as possible before they bail out.

Bend over Ice let us fuck you like you have been out of people's money. His clothes are borderline freebies. Nothing is original anymore. His numbers are low and I hate their policies. You buy, You go and You say you like to everyone. No question anyone would say these boots are nice. They look like pilgram not pirate.

I was given Muism vouchers from a friend who didn't want them, and happily went along to the store. Had a look around, couldn't find anything that struck me as worth having. The clothing looked dull, shabby, and dated. So I looked at the drinks vendor machine they have for sale and stood there a long time thinking about buying that.

In the end I decided not to waste the vouchers and gave them away to a friend. Those vouchers changed hands at least four times that I know of. Crazy, isn't it? I can't think of another store I would do that at lol.

It's all thrown together. The hair is scary. Many designers think they got to cocky thinking they could do it all. In the mean time people around them started appearing with lower priced high quality fashion. They can't compete anymore. Back to a rl job Migi. I hear rice fields need help.

Ice loves to cause trouble in sl with other designers and people. I was one of them. He attacked me for using a mid flex prim on my jackets. He reported and threatened me. Too many fashion designers in sl that are better. Muism dying a slow death. Isn't it fun to watch.

I did find it ironic too the man behind Muism jumps other designers for ripping his creations turns around and rips RL designers.

Rocco is just self-destructive. When he gets given a club to manage and it seems like nothing can go wrong, he consistently fucks up. He has been manager of Probe, Badboys, Devilinside, Club Essential, and they all went to the wall under his management. His latest club seemed OK, but he is fucking it all up again. He is crashing clubs at a rate of one every 2-3 months, and that's including unemployment time.

He keeps seeing a big red button in front of him called "AUTO DESTRUCT" and frantically jumps up and down on it until something happens lol.

haha...I'm notoriously known for not wearing shoes in Second Life...anyone who knows me knows that. I rarely wear them in real life. Besides, fashion isn't about following the herd, but rather finding the best clothing to fit your style. I'm not a clone and refuse to turn into one. Shoes or no shoes, I will always be who I am. If we all looked the same, we may as well not even rezz the gray off people.

Please refrain from generalizations about an entire group of people. There are so many amazing Asian designers out there who do not photosource and rely solely on hand-drawn quality. Even those who photosource do it in such a way that the product is their own. Regardless of where a designer is from, either quality or trash can come from their lines. Anyone can fake or replicate, regardless of nationality, and it has happened plenty in all represented nations in Second Life.

Playing a virtual game to make a living. Go have some fun and becareful.

Your stuck in virtual and you lost whats most important your real life. I also agree if your fortunate to have the chance at college study and experience it. You'll be happy you did.

I see Rocco's making a nuisance of himself again. He started spamming the INV group with his Reece Carling alt (which he's now deleted). I have seen first hand at how utterly obsessed he is with Ammon and this very publication INV. When I worked at DevilInside last summer, the guy was completely paranoid and obsessed with INV. He was always talking about INV, how much he hates them, with such vengeance and fury - I remember thinking rocco you need to get over your hangups.

I even remember Gregster Kidd once telling me that rocco was so down one night asking why nobody appeared to like him! He couldn't understand why apparantly.

Whenever rocco jumps on the mic to DJ, he always clears a club because he sounds so monotonous and has little enthusiasm or zeal. His choice of music always leaves a lot to be desired. I first heard him at probe and he brought that cool club to a crashing halt. Then there was some huge giasco with him over at bad boys I believe.

The owner of Yumbo hired him to build their mall because he pitched how great he could make it for them. The finished result left a lot to be desired. Unaligned edges, unmatching textures. It looked like an amateur newb had thrown up the gates of hell by the time he'd finished. The owners must have spent several weeks correcting all his mistakes from what I recall.

Now it seems MUISM has hired him to be their new DJ. Many of us can't comprehend the logic of doing so, but it seems icemocolo doesn't implement good business sense as of late. His antiquated designs leave a lot to be desired for and well there's not really much more we can add about his viviene westwood imitation boots now can we?

Anonymous said...

I think underneath it all Rocco is a good guy, dedicated to DJ'ing, tries hard to succeed, although it doesn't come easy to him. Mainly because he is a central participant in a vicious feud that has raged for a year inside and outside Second Life. However successful he might have been his own actions have repeatedly crippled him and lost him friends.

I congratulated Rocco on his new club at Muism, and as there had been feud peace for about a month I rated his chances of success. I said that it would be best for all if this peace was maintained and that the two parties kept a safe distance from each other, and if not, there would be renewed fighting and casualties, mainly Rocco again. It didn't take a prophet to realise that. I was having the same conversation with InVdaily, and persuaded them not to publish a planned article about Muism. To my surprise, and to its credit, InVdaily agreed. Peace at Christmas!

A few days ago Rocco logged in with his alt Reece Carling, opened up chat in the InVogue Hommes group and raged against, attacked and insulted InV group members. The reason why I don't know and I am still puzzled about it. This happened while I was offline, and by the time I was online InVdaily had already published this article about Muism as there was no reason for them not to, due to Rocco's own actions

Rocco used to be on my Friend's List and I have always held an affection for him. I have spoken to him sometimes peacefully, sometimes harshly, very harshly at times. I probably should realise that he is an adult, responsible for his own fate and it's not my duty as a lovesick puppy to steer him into safe waters. I like the guy, he apologised to me once, which led me to think he is worth time and effort.

I tried, but he takes everything the wrong way, it keeps going wrong, and it's all poisoned by his 24/7 involvement in the feud. Maybe one day when this is all over, we can be friends again. In the meantime Rocco, I wish you success in life and Second Life, try and do the right thing and be good.

I can't believe how threatened some people feel by a guy who "wears painted on shoes" and moved his mag to a blog. Oh wait, because the shoes don't make the man and the blog gets massive readership...enough so that I have certain people IMing me while I'm mid photoshoot to have me remove a comment with their name in it. And perhaps because the guy's blog hits a nerve because the truth hurts, maybe?

I won't say that everything in comments is fact, but there is a forum here for you to comment if you don't like a comment made about you, use this forum. I'm much too busy to be bothered with IMs asking me to be a go-between for Ammon. We allow comments we don't agree with. Try us.

...come on Ice and Migi do you really think this boot is of quality? Do you really think this boot is worth 550L? Why would you steal the exact rl colors, style & name without any Muism twist to it?

If you proclaim yourself to be the best there should be something original to it. Maybe fur for example.

Hehehe, Ammon has a fur fetish :P

I wear painted on jeans but my bf likes them. Maybe Jade likes them on Ammon. These boots stink.

Do they really think this is fashion ? Do they really think they are fooling peeps? Lord have merci this isn't what I consider a fashion designer in sl or rl.

the boots are terrible, the designs are out of date and muism will be left in the doldrums of 2008!

Theft is never a good thing, its making money off the back of someone elses work. Its not that hard to be creative and make a product with a spark of originality, as thousands are in sl.

As these boots are pirated, I suppose thats where the name Pirate Boots came from lol.

And these boots for 550 ldns? A joke, yeah? Come on Muism, for that price it needs to be something special, and these boots are duds. I was going to say shit, but... oh I did.

rocco still hates INV? I remember rocco from Bad Boys and he was out for blood then. You don't want to know the drama he kicked up at Bad Boys - a book could be wrote on it

...Good Evening inVd bloggers. Please feel free to leave your comments. As for us we are planning many new posts just as exciting:)))and we won't be commenting in here anymore after tomorrow. But will see you on the next post. Many thanks again for making inVogue Hommes so much fun.


FYI We are inVogue Hommes Miss R incase you have been out of the loop for the past year(Good try though). It wouldn't surprise me since your passion for fashion is too. Maybe instead of calling yourself a fashion whore just stick to whore. Don't insult all of us real fashion whores. (giggles).



See you on the next post inVd Vips

...I will adress what Stupid Rocco said. He'd rather work 40 hrs in sl than a rl job. He admires Ice. (lol) Just being logical, What happens when you want to retire? (lol). What happens when the next big thing comes out? (lol) How about health and life insurance? (lol). Work a real job and have sl on the side dude. Don't be ignorant (which you are)and want the easy way. Because the easy way is never the best way. Think about it.

I just love my life :))) and especially when I'm right.

To sum this boot up in my own words is straight jacket boot. Vooms creations are not worth my time fighting the lag, 30 mins to rez upon landing, poor customer service, poor quality,and way over priced.

Like you need a high IQ to know this oddball's time in SL is limited, especially when he has sunk to using an alt to grief those who enjoy and make the most of SL. Very bitter and noobish. What a waster or as he would say, what a wanker.

Rocco Silverstar, one totally fucked up second life.

QUESTION: "I even remember Gregster Kidd once telling me that rocco was so down one night asking why nobody appeared to like him!"

ANSWER: "Rocco a joke runs around with the biggest toilets in sl."

This boots are embarassing!!!! If your going to act like a snob you better back it up with the best clothing. Muism clothing is a disgrace. BOOOOOOO MUISM.

Ammon Pera said...

...and it continues and continues.

Ammon Pera said...

...some people can say whatever they wish about these boots (lol). I don't hear you. I am adult with my own opinions.

I have nothing against Ice and Migi Voom as some would like to think and want so desperatly to make people think. I hope the Vooms family a nice New Year full of better fashion.

Muism fashion has took a deep downward spiral. I wouldn't pay for that little above noob junk anymore. The day they realize other designers have past them is the day they will start improving. It's an ego trip fro them because they don't want to see their flaws and want us to either. Thats why they are making a big deal about this and hating inV.

Terrific job on the blog and many people see it.

Ammon Pera said...

...Let me clarify something here. In my opinion Muism doesnt stand up anymore to other designers quality and price. They are average designers in 09 still desperatly trying to play the Muism name that once was great. I am not mad at Ice or Migi just being honest. When they stop playing the pity card to friends and face reality they will improve. Evey person I have spoke to has said this boot is awful and the hair is hidious. So the people protecting you are also hindering you because you both can do so much better.
