During the Game…
Throughout the game, you will move around 4 major screens, and the sub-screens
within each. At the end of each turn, you will receive an “income” from clothing
sales: the amount you earn will be based on how well your clothes are selling. The
four main screens are Magazine, Fashion Report, Proles, and Fashion Show, plus
you can opt to End Turn:
MAGAZINE
Use the Magazine to buy new fabrics, learn about judges
and new models, and nd out fashion and game tips. Use
the arrows to highlight the topic you want and press
SELECT to see what’s there. When you’re done, highlight
BACK and press SELECT to go back to the cover.
FASHION REPORT
Here’s a quick look at where your business stands. How
much cash do you have? How much money are you
making? How many fabric sets do you own? What are
your best sellers? This screen also shows your design
skills: the more green you have in an area, the more you
know about that piece of clothing…and, the more you
know, the more patterns you have. You can get new
patterns by designing clothes for shows or by choosing Research Designs under
the End Turn Option.

PROFILES
Use arrows to move through the lineup. Press SELECT to bring up a bio on each
person. Highlight BACK and press SELECT to move to the previous person(s).
• All the models you have learned about through the Magazine will show up
here. These are the models you can pick from to use in your show. You can
use the Diva Points your models earn to give them condence or increase their
abilities. Just scroll down to the ability you want to change, then press the left
and right arrows to change their status. There are 12 models in each game, but
there are 20 total, so each game will be different!
• Learn about the Judges: Learn all about the 12 judges. The Judges range
from Easy to Very Hard. As your experience grows, it will become harder to
wow them, and it will be more important for you to show them what they
like! You can learn their preferences by checking them out in the Magazine, or
by nding out at the shows.
FASHION SHOW
Choose your Next Market: Where will you show your
line? You’ll need to start small and work your way to the
top. Start by choosing shows that cost less money to
enter; they’ll have easier judges too! Move around the
country – then move around the globe!
Use the arrows to move around the map, and press SELECT
to pick your next Market. You’ll get more details about the

12

show. Press SELECT to enter the show, or choose BACK to go back to the map.
Entering a Fashion Show: Once you’ve entered a show, you will see the Design
screen. From here you’ll prepare for the show.
1) Designing Clothes: Now you can put together your
exciting line of clothes! Press SELECT on the shirt icon
to bring up your clothing options. Use the Up arrow
to highlight the type of clothing you want to design
rst. You only need to complete one of the two themes
in any show to keep the judges happy.
Then press SELECT to open the pattern options for that
piece of clothing. Once you’ve selected the main type
(for example, a skirt can be long, knee-length or mini), additional options will
open. Use the arrow keys to scroll through each of these options and create
your own style. Remember to keep in mind the judges’ preferences as well as
the show themes while you’re designing.
2) Completing Outts: To make a complete outt, you need to choose a top,
bottom, and shoes. If you choose a jacket you need a shirt underneath. To add
accessories to your outt, select the shoe icon on the left and choose accessories
just as you created the clothes.
3) Saving Outts: When you have created an outt, the game will automatically
store it in one of the 4 hanger icons on the right. The number of outts you
need for a show varies, so these icons will show you how many outts you
need (additional icons will be grayed out). To start a new outt, highlight one
of the empty hangers and press SELECT. You can always go back and modify

14
15

a previous outt by pressing SELECT on the appropriate hanger icon. When
you’ve completed all the outts you need for the show, highlight DONE and
press SELECT.
4) Hire Your Models: Your clothes come to life on your models, so pick them
carefully! Each outt you’ve created will appear on the left. Pick which model
you want for each outt. If you change your mind, press CANCEL and you can
start again.
5) Prep Your Models: Pick your models’ hairstyles and
the music they will walk down the runway to. Your
models will pick their moves based on what moves
they know and their condence level.
6) Runway Competition: This is it – the big day! Watch
your models do their thing…and cross your ngers
that they don’t stumble!
7) Judging & Rewards: How did you and your models do? Did the judges like
the fabrics and the quality? Judges award stars and half-stars, plus Diva Points

14
15
you can invest later. You need an average of 3 stars or
more (over all your outts) to be successful and open
a market. If you don’t open the market, you can try
again when you’ve earned some more cash.
After each successful show, you’ll review your line. Press
SELECT to choose an item from the top. Then use the
arrows to select a place to put it in your line. You can
have only12 items, so after a few shows you’ll have to replace the old with the
new. You can always keep your favorites, and you don’t have to add all your new
items to your line.
Remember to check how your clothes are selling by viewing your Fashion Report.
Press SELECT on an open market in the Map to see the specics.
“DESIGN CLOTHES”
There is so much you can do with this design program! Selecting this option from
the Main Menu allows you to design the clothes you want without playing the
game. No rules and no judges. You can save up to 4 outts here. The game will
automatically save them in the hanger icons.
END OF TURN
Your turn ends when a Fashion Show is over. A successful show will increase your
income, but whatever your income is, you’ll earn it now. Then you can start a new
turn. Head back to the Magazine to check for new stuff, or head to the Map to
select a new show.

16
17
You can also choose to End Your Turn at any time. You might want to choose this
option to take a quick break from the shows and get more cash, or to up your
design skills. When you choose this option, you’ll have 4 choices:
Enter a Fashion Show: This will take you to the Map.
Manage Your Business: Managing your books for a turn will earn you
income, but don’t do it too often or your market sales will stagger.
Research New Designs: It will cost you some cash, but this is a quick way to
gain access to new patterns in the area of your choice. Select which pattern
you want to increase your skill in, and then press SELECT.
Save and Quit: Select this option to save your game and return to the main
menu.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you do not see the legal screens and then the main title screen after turning the
TV and Game Console on:
Check Plugs and Jacks – Make sure that the video and audio plugs are inserted
into the correct jacks on your TV, VCR or DVD player.
Check Batteries – Make sure the batteries in the Game Console and the Game
Remote are fresh and properly installed.

18
19
Check TV Channel – Your TV channel should be set to its auxiliary “gaming”
channel. This is usually indicated as “AUX,” “AV” or “Video.” You may have to
refer to your TV owner’s manual to determine this. To locate your auxiliary channel
(usually one of the following channels: 2, 1, 0, 00, or 99), click down from channel
3 until “Line 1,” “Line 2,” “Video 1,” “Video 2,” “Front,” “AUX,” “AV” etc. appears
on the screen. Then press the ON button on the [game unit]. If you are on the right
channel, the game should come on. If this does not work, see if your TV remote has
a button (labeled “Input,” “AUX,” “AV,” “Line,” “TV/Video,” or “Video”) that takes
you to the correct channel. If your remote has one of these buttons, turn your TV
to Channel 3 and then hit that button. Then press the ON button on the [game
console]. The game should come on.
Check VCR / DVD Player Connection – Your VCR / DVD player should be set to
“AUX,” “AV” or “Video.” You may have to refer to your VCR or DVD owner’s manual
to determine this.
No Picture – Try putting a videotape/DVD in your VCR/DVD player, let it start to
play, and then hit STOP. This may give you a blue screen background. Then click
down to the auxiliary channel on your TV.
If you do not get a blue screen, see if your TV and/or VCR has a main menu with an
option for a blue screen background. If you go into the main menu, you can usually
change from “cable” to “video” and get a blue screen.
If you have an older TV, you may nd a “hidden door” on the TV that has color,
picture, horizontal, vertical, and antennae/cable buttons. If your TV does have
these, press the antennae/cable button to get a blue screen.
