Is it your dream to put up your own fashion boutique? Fashion Story enables you to live your dreams in a very pleasant environment. The game allows you to run your very own chic boutique, in which you will also learn about doing business. You will discover various elements needed to manage a successful fashion business. But before you start the fun, let’s us take you to a brief review of Fashion Story for the iPhone.
About the Game
If you’re so much into fashion, then Fashion Story for the iPhone is definitely worth a try. TeamLava has successfully established itself when it comes to free social games. Fashion Story, developed by TeamLava, enables you to practice your entrepreneurial skills whilst allowing you to run the fashion shop of your dreams. Once you come up with a very cool fashion concept, you can definitely expect clients to flood in and hence generating more profits.
The Gameplay
Your main goal is to run your own fashion boutique in the most efficient manner. You will sure want to stock the shelves with the latest fashion dresses in order to amuse your customers. You will also need to customize the look of your shop including the changing rooms and ensure that everything looks great and trendy before welcoming any customer. The game also enables you to dress your own character with your own designs. Make sure to have a really trendy look to fascinate the customers with your line of clothing. Your hairstyle, makeup and outfit should represent the hottest items available in your shop. As the game progresses, you will be able to unlock trendy designer brands to catch every shopper’s eye.
If you make the customers happy and amazed, then you will easily earn money otherwise you’ll need to level up your managerial skills to succeed. Just like running a real fashion business, you will have to buy and sell attractive products, beautify the store, hire good employees, and treat the customers very well. Meanwhile, you may also feel the need to expand your networks by visiting nearby stores and giving gifts to the owners. Hopefully, you will have other store owners visiting your boutique as well.
User Interface
Before you can start playing, you will be asked if you want to have the game send you push notifications. These refer to the messages that you will receive as reminders for items that are ready to be collected and are highly recommended. You will also be taken through a brief tutorial about certain features of the game. The user-friendly interface also allows easy navigation from the iPhone screen that enables you to customize the sound and music volume, enable or disable tips, play in full screen, in low or high visual quality. A notifying button will appear in the screen to prompt you of anything that needs to be cared for.
Graphics and Sound Effects
The graphics are pretty impressive, smart and colorful. The characters fairly resemble the voluptuous Bratz Dolls instead of the glamorous-looking Barbie Dolls. As far as the customization of the shop is concerned, you will have a multitude of colors, textures and patterns to choose from. Overall, the images are crisp and vivid and the music and sound effects really bring the virtual store to life.
The Drawback
Fashion Story could be fun, but there’s really nothing much to do than order, receive, paint and customize the shop. You cannot design your own clothing unlike other social fashion games. Once you start decorating your shop, your free coins and gems can really dry out so fast that you might be tempted to purchase more as an in-app purchase.
Conclusion
While boys are so much into action-packed games, young girls like iPhone games that are related to fashion and beauty. Fashion Story makes a great app for young fashionistas who dream of having their own chic boutique. The experience that one gets can be applied in real life situations which can help forward one’s career in the fashion industry.
