Design Squad

Hotkiss is a popular global fashion brand designed specifically for young fashion conscious women. Hotkiss is great as beach wear, and it also looks really cool when worn by the girl out about town. The current collection includes skinny jeans, wide leg denim pants, t-shirts, tube tops, skirts and dresses. Popular colors include stripes and polka dots. Hotkiss fashions are worn by “it girls” Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens. Wearing the super cool Hotkiss fashions are a great way for girls to express themselves, and to experiment with colors and styles.

Online Games for girls are currently very popular. The concept is simple. Create a virtual outfit in an online boutique, choosing from a range of colors and styles. Generally all you do is drag and drop items on an avatar until you get that perfect online design. Online boutiques are always up to date with the latest fashions and trends. Websites offering fashion games also want to bring girls new experiences that are based on fashions that are actually out there on the street. For example, GirlSense.com has a boutique featuring the fashions of Hotkiss. Girls can use virtual money to purchase Hotkiss jeans and t-shirts, and dress up an avatar. It’s great fun, and it looks incredibly real.

Websites such as Girlsense.com, which offer online fashion dress up games, are the perfect expression of the web 2.0 revolution. Such websites enable teens not only to buy outfits with virtual money, but also to create their own fashion boutiques, where they can display and sell clothes to other girls.

Games for girls are not a new idea. The Barbie doll has been captivating girls for generations. However, to enable girls to play new dress up games with the ever-popular doll, parents had to constantly purchase new fashion outfits, and at no small expense. The great thing about online fashion dress up games is that they are mostly free. These type of games are also regularly updated to match the latest craze, at a time where yesterday’s fashion games for girls just won’t do.

Free fashion games are also the perfect opportunity for teens and tweens to gain their first entrepreneurial experience. The idea is that girls can create their own online boutiques, and sell their own creations to other members, using virtual money. It’s fun, it’s safe, and it’s often free. Playing online fashion games is fun, and now girls can experience the great Hotkiss fashion brand without leaving home or pending a cent.

 

GirlSense is this cool fashion design games website. You can create your own virtual designs, and buy designs from other users for virtual money. Playing online fashion games is so cool, I just love it. I can’t get enough of it. You know my big hero is Kate Moss. I just love her. She’s a fashion icon and now she is designing clothes for several fashion brands in Britain. Anyway, one day I want to be a fashion designer. So playing online fashion games is a way for me to practice, and to create new styles that I think will be cool next season.

The first thing you have to do when you create a fashion eBoutique is to think about the styling of the boutique itself. GirlSense lets you design everything: wallpaper, flooring, accessories, and structures. I’ll explain exactly why each of these items is important, but first, you need to think in terms of the whole eBoutique, and what kind of image or vision you are trying to convey: Do you want your eBoutique to be fun? Do you want your fashion design game to be classy and sophisticated? Maybe you want it to have a laid back feel to it? Think about it for a while, and play around with the designs. Think about what clothes you are going to display in your eBoutique, and create it accordingly.

I want to talk a little bit about floors. Floors are really cool and super important for eBoutiques. I know it’s just fashion designer games, but try to think like it’s the real thing. You’ll soon learn that different types of floors create a different feel. Think about the floor you have at home, compared with the floor that you have at school, and the floor in the lobby of a hotel that you visited during a recent vacation. It’s interesting but each one has its own feel. For example, a tiled floor makes you think of the Mediterranean – places like Greece and the South of Spain. With online fashion games, certain shades of tiles can also make you think of sand and the beach. A wooden floor, on the other hand, might make you think about a house in the mountains, a ski chalet, or a loft apartment. Wood has more warmth than stone, and lends itself to winter designs.

So you see, the small details are really important, and have a powerful effect on the final impression. Fashion design games can really teach you about styling, and who knows, if you’re good at it, maybe one day you’ll want to study interior or fashion design.

When you head online to play a few rounds of dress up games, you have your choice of many different kinds of activities, but by far the favorites seem to be the characters we are most familiar with. In the case of fashion doll games, the most popular characters to dress up appear in Sue games, Bratz games and Barbie games.

Sue Games

In Avatar Star Sue games, or usually just Sue Games, the cute anime style character Se appears for both dress up and other styles of fashion games. You can give Sue an entirely new look including her clothing and make-up or just choose a new hairstyle that suits your current mood and what you think Sue might enjoy that day.

In many cases, when you have completed a new Sue game, you have the option of saving your completed creation as a avatar or image on your computer. You can use the pink little princess for any of your own purposes including your profiles on forums or other social networking websites. Even if you never save or print a doll you created during Sue games, you’ll likely become addicted to the pint-sized online phenomenon.

Bratz Games

Bratz are easily one of the most popular fashion dolls both onscreen and off. Online, the Bratz dolls are easier to accessorize than ever before and girls are turning out in droves to enjoy their favorite characters on the internet with vast quantities of wardrobe choices and hairstyles available.

As with any doll, when you finish Bratz games, you have the option of using your creation for another purpose, but playing with dolls is so addicting that it’s just as likely that you’ll simply start a new round rather than treasuring a single fabulous outfit forever. The Bratz are known for their urban style and funky looks. Practicing putting these styles in Bratz games might even help you become a better dresser yourself.

Barbie Games

Before there were Sue games and Bratz games, there were Barbie games. Barbie is almost five decades old, but she’s still going strong. Barbies still sell well in toy stores and you can find Barbie just as easily on many pages of the internet. Barbie games are among the most popular dress up games for younger girls, and it’s easy to see why.

There are multitudes of fashion choices, many more than you’d ever be able to handle in your toy box. Dressing Barbie in the latest fashions is simple online and when you find an outfit you like, you always have the option to print our your online Barbie doll and use her as a paper doll during times you’re offline. The more Barbie games you play online, the greater your fashion skills will grow and the more Barbie paper dolls you’ll accumulate to go alongside your collection of true Barbie dolls.
