JMU to host Virtual Fashion Show

James Madison University will be hosting a “virtual fashion show” in Second Life.
In an effort to introduce local and global community members to JMU’s virtual campus, its members will hold an open house, with a virtual fashion show as its premiere event. Avatars of JMU faculty, staff and students will model clothing in the traditional catwalk fashion, using a runway created by JMU staff member Jeremy Hawkins, assistant director of the Festival Conference and Student Center. Attendees can then “buy” the clothes the models are wearing for free, although clothing in Second Life often brings real currency.
In addition, visitors will be able to tour JMU’s Psychology Museum and the Student Union, amongst other buildings. Read the full release after the break.
