Comments:
I must say that I become quite excited upon discovering a new (to me) creator. Moreso when I feel that said creator holds some promise, which is how I feel about KWZ.
KWZ currently offers only a handful of garments for men, but at least one is a consideration to add to any gentleman’s wardrobe.

The Omega Male series offers 7 unique and wonderful colour and fabric style schemes. I choose this particular one primarily for my human self but am eyeing up the marble for my fox self.

The overall look of each suit is one of stylized elegance, imbued with some Baroquian sensibilities amidst the heavy luxurious lace.
Unfortunately there are only a few pieces, making mixing and matching with other ensembles nigh impossible. The jacket, vest and shirt are all on one layer (the shirt layer), which does diminish my affection for this outfit somewhat for me. However, as far as prêt-à-porter ensembles go, this one will work nicely.

While the coat bottoms are not absolutely perfect (in my own mind), they do flow reasonably nicely. I suspect they are made with a larger avatar in mind; hence their bulk. Regardless, the texturing is quite reasonable and I quite enjoy the decorative touch on the back.

What caught my elegant gothic aristocratic eye were the stunning collar and sleeves. I am a self-confessed whore for slightly excessive lace around the neck and wrists, and this certainly satisfies.

The detail on the gloves is exquisite and I’m pleased that the overall colour scheme throughout the outfit is consistent (no abhorrent combining of different metals that seems to have gripped the fashion industry in SL these days).

The gothic steampunkish imagery finds its way to the inner coat lining, matching the waistcoat beautifully. While I’m not overly enthused with the trouser design, it does work with the entire ensemble as a whole. Again, wear the entire folder and you are ready to go.

The waistcoat is brilliant and I am enthralled by the unique design.

The multi layered collar is supremely stylish. AND… no resizing scripts! I was quite pleased to see a lack of resizing scripts in this ensemble as I find myself fighting with them constantly rather than making manual tweaks which tends to serve the image better.

The ensemble is fox friendly and approved.

No need to attach my secondary tail, and most important, the trousers are modify to allow shortening for my digitigrade legs. Always a joyous occasion.

I most definitely look forward to future creations by KWZ, and hope for more ensembles with their unique elegance from this creator.

This looks so familiar. Was this the outfit worn by the model in the skin ad I spoke to you of?
ANyway ~ the outfit just drips refined elegance and hopefully you can encourage the creator that it would be in his best interest to offer the elements that make up this outfit on muliple layers.
I don’t know why creators don’t do this ~ beyond ignorance it can’t just be a matter of being lazy because the reality is, most people like to mix and match their clothing to make them unique onto their own personal style.
Perhaps they view that as an insult as they’d expect their items to be worn as is, but that is not how fashion works in SL or RL ~ people combine their favorite pieces and it’s a compliment to a creator that their vest, shoes, coat, etc become an indispensible part of a persons wardrobe!.
That aside ~ I look forward to more from KWZ worn with foxy style
