Kuro Neko meets…Kaysha Sion from WRONG
Welcome loyal readers!
Let’s welcome Kaysha Sion, from WRONG, one of my favourite shops (I like the punk accessories!).
Kuro Neko: What made you come up with the name Wrong?
Kaysha Sion: The store was initially called “House of Wrong”, with the intention of selling elaborate goth clothes. This was really pretentious and not my style….over time I just dropped the first two words and went with a more casual style.
Kuro Neko: You have recently re-designed your store. Are you getting any feedback from customers about that?
Kaysha Sion: Oh..I re-design almost every week it seems. Always trying new things, testing what works and what doesn’t. Sometimes I get notecards from customers with feedback, whether negative or positive I always appreciate it.
Kuro Neko: Do the clothes you make in SL reflect your RL style?
Kaysha Sion: Yes. I only really make clothes that I’d wear in real life.
Kuro Neko: What kind of thing do you find the hardest to make?
Kaysha Sion: Pretty, girly things. Dresses. If you meant technically, then shoes and hair. Prim skirts that blend nicely. And MENS. It’s near impossible to make textures sit nicely on a male mesh!!
Kuro Neko: Where do you look for inspiration?
Kaysha Sion: Real life – real clothes. Stuff I buy or see other people wearing. Magazines, websites.
Kuro Neko: Which other designers do you admire in SL?
Kaysha Sion: Radical Twang of course, the boy next door 
I don’t really know any other designers personally. I admire anyone with the patience to do this.
Kuro Neko: Can you remember the nicest and nastiest thing anyone has ever said to you regarding your store and its products?
Kaysha Sion: Hmm the nicest things are small compliments received in notecards from customers – just to say they enjoy my clothes. Always makes me happy and motivates me to make more. The nastiest thing? I don’t really remember. My work has been torn up in anonymous blogs in the past but I’ve never really cared.
Kuro Neko: Is there anything you have attempted to make but just found too difficult?
Kaysha Sion: A friend asked me to make a simple white tennis skirt and I pulled my hair out over it for weeks. It just never happened. Blending a white prim into the avie mesh is ridiculously difficult, apparently.
Kuro Neko: What is your most favourite outfit from your store?
Kaysha Sion: I probably wear my black zippy pants the most…and the jeans. Those jeans took forever to make and I love them to bits.
Kuro Neko: Ever thought about becoming a neko?
Kaysha Sion: I’m a dog person.
Kuro Neko: Finally, what’s the best piece of advice you can give to any new, aspiring designers entering Second Life?
Kaysha Sion: Focus on the details. Don’t rush anything. Don’t source. Don’t copy. Be professional. Ignore designer drama.
Me and Kaysha at FORM.
