This is by far one of my daughter's favorite games for Nintendo DS. She is 8 years old.I purchased her this title along with "Barbie Island Princess" but "Fashion Designer" has been so much fun she has barely touched "Island Princess"!
I was very intrigued (given that my daughter is a big Barbie fan) so I begun to play "Fashion Designer" to see what was it all about. Inmediately got caught in the game dynamics and fun. Basically the player is sort of a fashion design director for a modeling agency. There are different "assignments" in which a contractor request specific things for different products. For example, "a boot designer request a model for its most recent line of winter boots. Contract involves making of a catalogue and a photo shoot so you need to select the appropriate location, wardrobe and accesories. First start selecting your model..." and so the fun begins!
The player gets the chance to select models (each one has different facial and racial features), and also select hairdos, clothing, accesories, makeup features (eyeshadows, lipstic, blush, eyelashes...).
You can also design your own clothes by selecting different pieces and cuts, fabrics, imprints... The player can also select photo shoot locations, and actually shoot photo portfolios for each model according to assignments. You can also you direct your own runway show, teaching the models how to walk, poise, turn, etc...
Of course, ocassionally the contractor is not happy with the result so it will request the player to review specific items (like wardrobe, makeup, hairdo, accesories...) but this only adds more fun to the game.
The game is GREAT. If you happen to be looking for great games for girls on Nintendo DS (as I desperately was when I purchased this title) I strongly encourage you to get "Imagine Fashion Designer". You will watch your little girl having hours and hours of endless fun with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 10 Year Old Daughter LOVES This Game!, January 6, 2008

My youngest daughter loves to draw and design clothes so I thought this would be a neat game to give her for her 10th birthday back in November. I had no idea what I was buying or what a huge hit it would be! The first day she spent hours playing it and begged us to let her take it to bed with her to play "just for a little while" until she fell asleep. We finally had to take it away from her! Weeks later and she's still playing with it and designing clothes. I have to admit - I like it myself. The "buyer" lets you know what they want to purchase and you come up with the look - everything from hair color and style, to make up and jewelry as well as clothing. Then it's off to the photo shoot to see if the buyer likes your creation. There are so many levels that we haven't made it through all of them yet! I don't know how well kids younger than 9 would do with this game - but I can tell you that older kids love it as well. When my daughter took her DS with her to the babysitter's house, there were older tweens and teens hanging out for the day and they were all over it as well. They thought it was the coolest game they had ever played and were ready to fight over whose turn it was to play next!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Bit of a Letdown, April 11, 2008

This review is from: Imagine: Fashion Designer (Video Game)

I was really excited about receiving this game for my birthday (13th) and was a little disappointed with the game. It is still quite fun, but probably not worth thirty dollars.

You are the head of an agency and are required to do certain tasks (some of which have clues that are difficult and hard to figure out, but every time you have to redo it, you lose everything. So if only one thing on the makeup was wrong, you have to fix it, AND redo the dressing, photo shoot, and 5 catwalks THAT TAKE FOREVER!) The free mode is more fun, as you are unlimited in terms of everything.

The workshops include hair (picking between few styles and colors), beauty (picking between few, premade makeup looks), dressing (putting clothes on the model), designing (picking between a few different cuts on a premade design. A bit dissappointed considering there is a TOUCH SCREEN!!!!), catwalk (a few mundane mini games that cause your model to perform well or not), and photography (the fun one, where you choose how the model looks, poses, where, what shade, etc. Then click, you have a photo). The photo shop is the best part of the game by far, while the rest is DEFINITELY aimed at a younger audience.

Overall, this game is iffy. It has it's good points, and would be good for a younger age if not for the frustrating clues (or lack of).

Also, I would like to report a problem. When I take out this game on my lite after playing and insert another game, it says that there is no game pak inserted. So every time, I have to put it back in, take it out, and reinsert the other game. Talk about frustrating! This happened with every Imagine game I've tried!

I am glad I have the game for certain parts, but also glad I didn't pay for it! Consider this carefully before buying. P.S. The graphics are not impressive! Try Animal Crossing Wild World for impressive! Love it!
