Fashion in a virtual world

Second Life is a 3D virtual world. It is developed by Linden Lab. Under special client software, People can create and modify everything in this virtual world. I am familiar with Second Life and basic coding skill is needed there. But, I want to talk about "Fashion" in Second Life.

In the real world, you may not buy everything you want for you may not have enough money. But in second life you can "create" what you want. You can create a LV bag, a GUCCI wallet, Chanel perfume(just a object without flavor), even a special configuration of hair. So lots of people there dress up with imagination and their made-up has a strong charactor. In this way, I think it's a very dependable and convenient way to let students join in an activity. Last week, I watched a tv program called "What Not To Wear" in learning channel. I think Second Life is a better way to see how the same plan works with less money. What's more, it will required less time. People in Second Life just need a series of functions to dress themselves up. If it is possible to retake this tv program in Second Life, we can design more dresses of a distinctive style or for a particular occasion with little money. Maybe, I have to say it could be boring if you put it on TV. However, if a lot of students need to do the same thing in class at the same time, there is no doubt that Second Life will be the best choice!

If we have a educational program called "What Not to Build" in school to teach students how to build a house. Do we really want to give students a mount of money and let them build their house independently? The answer definitely is no. If we have Second Life, we can let them build there. They can create any kind of building with their imagination and don't need to worry what they may fail or it's hard for building workers. So, "fashion" in Second Life can be much easier to express and realized. I really would like to see what fashion could work in this virtual world.
