HISTORY
JCNY Collection hosts the largest and longest running model search in Second Life. We've entered fashion shows across SL since 2006. Over 75 stores gridwide, and partnered in the newest KaDeWe 100th Anniversary Store. The search was developed by JD Hansen to promote fashion involvement among avatars and aspiring models. There is no cost to enter the contest
and is completely free of charge to anyone interested. This month we are returning to the original model judge and jury. This process is a person by person judging process. A panel of five judges composed of top designers in second life will judge model photo submissions.
