Fashion Gaming Comes to Nintendo, Dakota Fanning All Growed Up

Nintendo is embracing its inner fashion know-how and launching Style Savvy, a game where players act as shopkeepers, running virtual boutiques and addressing issues from what stock to carry to customer service. In total, Style Savvy features "16 lines with over 10,000 items to stock your store with. And even the customers have different personalities, so you need to treat each one individually in order to get them to come back," says Fashionista. Do so successfully (e.g. sell the fashions you've selected) and you win points that add up to eventually conquer the game. It's sort of like that summer job at Banana Republic, only without the class rage.

As part of a promotional event in LA, Rachel Zoe and Dakota Fanning recently tested out the game; both talked to All The Rage about fashion and the like. Fanning, specifically, muses quite a bit on her developing fashion sense (after starring in Marc Jacobs’ SS07 ads at the age of 12): “my style has kind of evolved as I have gotten older, because I started when I was so young. Now that I’m 15, I’m bridging over to the adult world of fashion.” She adds, “my dream designer is Chanel—vintage, all of it, Elizabeth and James. I love Marc Jacobs.” As for the actress’ favorite fashion TV fodder? “‘Rachel Zoe. [And] I love ‘Project Runway’.” Sounds like she’s trolling for a guest judging slot.
