Get Haute Syle on a Budget!
Posted by: fashionfantasygame on: October 21, 2008
Every gal who wants to look gorgeous on a budget knows that the transition from runway to reality can often be a difficult one. Wait, did we say difficult? We meant expensive. In these horrible economic times, some of those price tags are downright painful. Well, it just seems that that there should be a foxy-fix for fashionistas on a budget. Translation: you live in the real world, and you would like some extra money for running to the movies to see dreamy hunk Zac Efron in High School Musical 3. And, trust us, he is worth every penny!
We’ve been weighing our options, and the GO International Collection courtesy of Target is exactly what should be in your closet right know. Scottish born design guru Jonathan Saunders made his runway debut in London in 2003, so he definitely brings a worldly sensibility to his pieces. We are mad for this ponte jacket in ebony which creates a particularly slim silhouette. It toughens up any denim ensemble, but it is still delicate enough for your skirting options. This resilient outerwear literally does double duty, and it is incredibly chic.
We are also seriously crushing on the black fringed pumps from Mossimo. This label has made a huge impact as a lifestyle brand, and there is a very good reason for the company’s success. Mossimo sticks to the basics, and the designers understand how to dress a female in iconic looks that make an impression. We still can’t believe that this foot candy is so easily available at reasonable pricing. And as our imagination runs away, couldn’t you just imagine wearing these glam gams to the premiere of HSM 3. OMG – Zac would melt for sure!
And speaking of necessary accessories… check out this clutch from Anya Hindmarch. We love this, because her bags ALWAYS sell out. Hindmarch is a superstar of the haute couture world, and just the mere notion of owning one of her ungettable bags for under $20… well, we are weak in the knees. Our fashion emotions are on overload for these must-have shapes!
Channel Your Inner Fashionista with Zoe Style
Posted by: fashionfantasygame on: October 10, 2008
Over here at Fashion Fantasy Game, we are obsessed with the Rachel Zoe Project. At first, we swore it off, but curiosity has gotten the better of us. And now, well, we are full on hooked. We concede that unconventional Miss Zoe has a flair for the dramatics, but this queen of chic definitely knows style. She has been giving out fashion advice like precious drops of liquid gold, and we have been loving every second of it. Now, we’ve taken some of her wise words to heart, and here are some ideas on how to channel your inner fashionista…
1. Take a Bow
Rachel is always talking about how the right focal point that will define your outfit. This Reem Acra dress shows that one well placed accessory creates visual impact while finishing off a stunning silhouette.
2. Bag It Up in Shimmer
Those in the fashion-know always make sure their bags correspond with their outfit. This it-bag seen at the Rubin Singer runway show combines tonal colors while updating the ensemble with an unexpected hint of sheen.
3. Tote a Carry-All
If you want to make sure you get all of your resort wear essentials in just one bag, then Lacoste has some really chic options. This gorgeous orange tone gives off a Sixties mod-girl vibe (translation: it’s very Rachel Zoe). This updated spin on a vintage shape is sleek and modern.
4. Make Sure You Have a Serious Wow Factor
If there is anything Rachel loves, we know it’s a wow factor. Remember how shoe refers to beautiful frocks as ‘bananas!’ Well, we think this ground-sweeping silk dress by Chris Han will always give you a serious dose of glam. This ensemble will make you the center of attention, and the floaty underlays of fabric are simply stunning!

Broadway Meets Broadband: Fashion Fantasy Game Welcomes “13″ to their Virtual World
New York, NY, (October 6, 2008) /PRNewswire/ — The Fashion Fantasy Game (www.fashionfantasygame.com), the first virtual world to teach kids about the fashion design business, is offering brands the chance to leverage their engaging fashion game for special product messages that add value to their gamers. By integrating content from the Broadway Musical “13″, the Fashion Fantasy Game is proving that there just can’t be too much fun online!
Locating the elusive teenage market is as easy as turning to the Internet. According to eMarketer, in 2011 more than half the kids and teens in the US will be playing in online virtual worlds. Already, last year’s numbers showed that 1 in 4 of the 34.3M children and teens in the US visited online virtual worlds.
To help reach this market, the Fashion Fantasy Game (www.fashionfantasygame.com) is offering brands a unique integrated presence in their fashion game. The first of these programs features the new Broadway play “13″, this Fall’s anticipated hit Musical. The show is the story of Evan Goldman, a New York City teen who is forced to move to a small town in Indiana following his parent’s divorce. He finds out that surviving teenage life is easier said than done. With an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award®-winning Jason Robert Brown, “13″ is a hilarious, high-energy musical for all ages.

Lilly Café will hear a sampling of songs from the show on the jukebox and be able to watch the show’s promotional video on the movie screen. Additional plans including the characters of the play in special contests and news items in the R. Lilly news. “The show is about the same kids that play our fashion game,” says Ganz. “And the integration brings a real value to our players.”

The FashionFantasyGame Gives Back
Posted by: fashionfantasygame on: October 2, 2008
Fashion Fantasy Game
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 3, 2008 — Americans give to charities at a higher rate than any other country in the world – $3B in 2007 alone. In order to sustain this, the tradition of giving is promoted at a young age throughout society and corporate cultures. At www.fashionfantasygame.com, the virtual world where tweens learn about business, this tradition is being integrated in game play as well as in real life. For www.fashionfantasygame.com, charitable giving is Business as Usual.
The Fashion Fantasy Game is developing concepts and activation that leverages its platform as a unique responses to charitable fund-raising and providing opportunities for marketing partnerships. The developers customize the unique design tool kit at the center of the game play to create a seamless integration of fund-raising concepts as well as brand integration that allows players to be immersed in brand concepts in a heightened, experiential manner. While parents debate the impact of fashion in such shows as “Gossip Girl” and “America’s Next Top Model” on a young audience, The Fashion Fantasy Game shows how a focus on fashion can also contribute to a better good.
In the first foray of its kind, www.fashionfantasygame.com joined forces on May 22nd with Babesta, a hip store for young kids, to raise funds for Ronald MacDonald House. The event was inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Exhibition, Super Heroes: Fashion and Fantasy. For a donation, The Fashion Fantasy Game entertained guests with a specially designed tool kit that let them create “Super-Inspired” Virtual capes. The event was a great success with thousands of dollars going to help the Ronald MacDonald House Charity.
While the theme of Super Heroes was a perfect fit for these on-line “masters of industry”, the idea of exposing players to the necessity of charitable giving is a serious concern of the developers. “At our first event, a fashion show at Bloomingdale’s, our parent company, R. Lilly Tuckerwear, made the NYU Child Study Center their primary beneficiary,” noted Nancy Ganz, Founder and CEO. “Since the beginning, we have set an example for our players and their parents that we realize the benefits and importance of this activity in our own business.”
To further this point the Fashion Fantasy Game is taking their dress-up game beyond the formula of Bratz and Barbie websites and launching R. Gives. At R. Gives players will make donations (Fashion Buckz) in the R. Lilly Cafe to the charities and causes for which they care the most. In addition, they will be able to make suggestions to the Fashion Fantasy Game Team of other charities to be considered as part of this effort. The idea behind this game play is to expose the players to great causes and to the fact that businesses are important sources of charitable giving.
Each month, the player who is the most generous will have a real donation made in their honor. “These players will be working hard to raise the money they need to run their businesses and to be in a position to be able to give back to charity,” adds Nancy Jackson Hodin partner and CMO, “and we want them to realize that there are real tangible benefits to giving back to the world in which they live.”

Fashion Game On The Rise: Playtime with A Bottom Line
Posted by: fashionfantasygame on: October 2, 2008
Fashion Fantasy game
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 2, 2008 — A group of female entrepreneurs have tapped the Internet to create a skill-building playground for tween and teen girls and the response is tremendous. The Fashion Fantasy Game, www.fashionfantasygame.com, is a site specifically designed for girl gamers and offers them a chance to play at being real business owners. The site teaches players about the fashion business by having them experience complex business concepts, negotiate tough challenges and navigate a course to financial success. Game play incorporates information in the community-based activities and girl-to-girl conversations. Going beyond the “virtual paper doll” scenarios, The Fashion Fantasy Game.com is filling a void in the gaming world where girls are presently under served by delivering a game that promotes the learning and confidence they need to achieve economic success.
The Fashion Fantasy Game is a virtual world where players, as designers and store owners, compete for rankings, ratings and virtual currency while learning to utilize the tools of marketing, advertising and promotion. There are multiple levels of the game and players can upgrade by virtue of their earnings or through a membership fee. While early readers can have fun with visual elements, other players get exposed to a more strategic-oriented game. Fabric choices, manufacturing locations, real estate selections, advantages of trademark options, exclusivity arrangements, and learning to network within your industry are all thoughtful decisions that require an understanding of business and finance. The more successful a player is the more complex is their game experience.
A noted female entrepreneur herself, Nancy Ganz understands the value of knowledge and experience when developing and marketing revolutionary ideas and concepts. As the undisputed inventor of Shapewear, Nancy discovered a unique market niche within intimate apparel with her Body Slimmers by Nancy Ganz line and was challenged to educate an industry that she had not yet experienced. Ganz likens The Fashion Fantasy Game to a playground-based classroom for young teens and tweens that inspires them and exposes them to real world possibilities for the future.
March is Women’s History Month but no special reminders are needed to highlight the challenges of young girls as they go through their adolescent years. Starting at the age of eight, girls begin to adjust to and accept a less dominant role in academics, sports and social situations. From the ground-breaking studies by AAUW in the 1990′s to the recent “Supergirl Dilemma” by Girls Inc. (all highlighted in the Alice Paul Institute’s remarkable compendium, “Share Our Voice”) the same realities hold true – girls at this age need to be provided with positive role models, assertiveness- skills and “actual programs that will build self-esteem and not just talk about it.” Collectively, as these studies have shown, girls succeed best in environments that promote two-way conversations.
The Fashion Fantasy Game team is creating a site that supports the needs of this adolescent female demographic. While skill-building and community-based activities occur throughout the game play, there will also be an Advisory Board of noted female business women to serve as role models. These Board members will offer guidance and connect to the players through special events within the virtual world. “I created this game to help young girls explore and get insights into the real world of business,” explains Nancy Ganz, founder of R. Lilly Tuckerwear and the Fashion Fantasy Game.” “By using the web we are incorporating their environment of choice to inspire them and broaden their horizons.”
Each week, the Fashion Fantasy Game will add new elements and surprises that are all hooked to learning – even the virtual vacations will give players unique insights into foreign locations. And, while the number of users steadily grows, the Fashion Fantasy Game team sees no limit to its impact. Partner Nancy Jackson Hodin, a video content entrepreneur, adds that “having heard from girls in the UK, Australia, France and Italy, the game is already succeeding in having a global impact.”

Fashion Fantasy Game Simulates Industry Biz
Posted by: fashionfantasygame on: October 2, 2008
Fashion Fantasy Game
Fashion branding is a big draw for young people in online social spaces, and the R. Lilly Tuckerwear company has launched a virtual world called The Fashion Fantasy Game, which aims to teach business to ‘tweens and teens through a fashion world simulation that lets users design and sell girls’ clothes or own a clothing store. It’s a bit of the departure from the usual dress-up-doll thematics of online worlds targeted at girls, and actually delves into the business of the fashion industry.
Users earn rankings from other players and by participating in competitions. Players start with a “Fashion Buckz” account, thereby continuing the trend of pluralizing everything aimed at young girls with a letter “z”, and users can manage the Buckz to make real estate purchases, manufacture goods and promote their designs. Kids can rank their friends or buy designs from them, and compete together.
Founder and creator Nancy Ganz, who developed the Body Slimmers by Nancy Ganz shapewear line, said, “The idea behind this fashion game is to give girls a sense of accomplishment and a way to feel good about themselves, from the inside out.” No word if the avatars can wear Body Slimmers to feel good about themselves.

 The idea behind this fashion game is to give girls a sense of accomplishment and a way to feel good about themselves, from the inside out  |
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 12, 2007 — A safe place to play teen fashion games has launched at www.fashionfantasygame.com, an online social network for young fashionistas created by the R. Lilly Tuckerwear Company. This is the first online game that teaches business to tweens and teens through a fashion fantasy world where they can design and sell girls clothes or own a chic clothing store. The game is packed with captivating graphics and multiple levels of play. With a focus on teen fashion, creativity and self-expression, it’s everything that young girls are craving. It’s a perfect gift for the holidays. This virtual world is the next level of play that began with the Style Girls social network on the R. Lilly Tuckerwear site.
According to the latest EMarketer Study entitled ‘Kids and Teens Online: Virtual Worlds Open New Universe,’ by 2011 more than half of the kids and teens in the US will be playing in online virtual worlds. These worlds have experienced tremendous growth over the past year, according to comScore Media Metrix. The Fashion Fantasy Game.com is exactly what kids are demanding now.
This virtual world is based in a game where players enjoy the thrill of competition and stay engaged with a constantly changing game. The tools for success are creativity, smart financial planning, advertising and marketing, just like in the real world of business. At www.fashionfantasygame.com, teen fashion game rankings are determined by other players and strategic competitions and challenges impact awareness. Best of all, the site is strictly monitored for safety. And through game play kids may develop skills and confidence that will contribute to their self esteem at this fragile age.
Players board the R. Lilly Jet and fly to the city of their choice to start their adventure. Each player along with an iconic side-kick begins with a bank account of Fashion Buckz (FBz’s), the unique currency of the game, and immediately starts to make important decisions that shape their businesses – what “real” neighborhood should they select for their real estate purchase, what designs do they think will be the most saleable, how many goods should they manufacture or purchase and what actions and decisions will bring them the most recognition from their peers. Players create, promote and sell their products through their own stores or their designer showrooms and are able to earn money and build their businesses. These players connect and share ideas, participate in special on-going contests and live events, go on virtual ‘shopping sprees,’ have fashion shows, create their own ad campaigns and go to the R. Lilly Cafe to catch up on the news that is important to them.
Founder and creator Nancy Ganz has a successful background in the real world of business, having developed the Body Slimmers by Nancy Ganz line of shape wear which she sold to Warnaco in 1996. “The idea behind this fashion game is to give girls a sense of accomplishment and a way to feel good about themselves, from the inside out,” says Ganz. Named after her own daughter, R. Lilly Tuckerwear and the Fashion Fantasy Game.com were inspired by watching the game play and interaction of young girls through the sensitivity of a mother who understands the emotional needs of this age group. Nancy understood that there was a need and a market for a site to provide fashion games to young women.
