Fashion Week Video Game?

505 Games, IMG, and makeup artist Pat McGrath have teamed up to create the newest video game that will perhaps open up the video game world to a whole new audience: the fashion crowd. Although we know that fashionistas are not known to be video game savvy,  a Fashion Week Video game will put this stereotype to the test.

"The game will offer players a "true insider's point of view" of Fashion Week. It will include "world-class industry gurus," models, and celebrities, and will be available for the iPhone and for Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony consoles" (The Cut)

Perhaps, just perchance, this will start a new trend. Would you play this "Fashion Week game"?

I would!

My question is

Do you play as a model? If so which models would make the roster?

Do you play as an Editor? Can you imagine Anna Wintour as a video game character?

Or do you play as a desiger?

So many possibilites.

I have been predicting this for so long! It's about time!

The fashion crowd is extremely dedicted - and certainly falls into the category of spenders - so I was surprised video game companies haven't pursued this segment earlier!

Look forward to seeing if this will become a trend!
