The SHIKI sim is a revolution in taste led by style gurus who are redefining SL craftsmanship in everything from fashion and furniture to flora and fauna. Some of the best sculpty artisans have set up shop here - including Tesla Miles, Jon Haskell (Sculpty Creations) and JubJub Forder (tranQuility).

As a sim, SHIKI is about stylish surprise, a strenuous attention to detail, and cosmopolitan flair - qualities epitomised by the flagship Shiki brand as well as the EXCELSIS modelling agency, which has chosen to site its headquarters in the sim.

The designers on board span the globe - Massimo, Zusi and Shiki hail from Japan, Zaara from India, Baiastice from Italy, Freshwind from Spain, in addition to the Korean-American Millage Valenti, and stalwart American brands like Swafette Firefly's SF Designs, and Role Optic.

There are shops which are just sheer fun - the handheld fans of Digital Eyes, AvaUru's naughty-but-oh-so-nice cakes, and the quirky goods available in Cluster and Dove Swanson's Long Awkward Pose.

Look out too for the Glass Ark, our very own events veune, and the SHIKI Showcase, a special area in the sim that honours the idiosyncratic vision of designers like 3Star Tyne, Four Yip and Pandora Wrigglesworth!
