PREMISE
C'est la semaine de la mode
It's Fashion Week in Paris, the first city to showcase their couture for the season. In the Spring/Summer 08 prêt-à-porter collections, backstage will always be a chaotic mix of make-up, dress, smoking, laughing and ten thousand polaroids. Models come and go with the fashions, but maybe you have that je ne sais quoi about you. Hedi Slimane for Dior Homme revolutionised the stereotype of the male model, after all. Whether experienced or new, everyone's in it together. Castings. Fittings. And then the tedious three hour wait for ten seconds of anonymous fame down the harshly lit runway. Always a pleasure. But they're not looking at you, they're looking at your clothes -- and whether you'll trip. That's always exciting. The designer wants you to wear a spandex catsuit? You'd better forego a night of raucous partying. Your name's being called -- get in line, please. Have you got the attitude card? There's a sign just before the runway. Fifteen seconds to change into a different look. FLASH. FLASH. FLASH!!. Love photographers. Hate photographers. Celebrities crowding the front row. Yet only a handful of people know your name.
Boyfriends hate you. Nightclubs don't want you.
Everyone wants to fuck you.
You're hot. You're young. You have the chance to make big money.
This is your life for two weeks.
The entire setting will be based around Fashion Week. Models will go to castings, shows, afterparties, or just wander around the city with a map, desperately lost. It happens. As this is a new concept, the game will only run for two months. If, by the end of the game, people are still willing to continue the story, we'll create another chapter: Milan. And then London, then New York. Each chapter will only run for two months. However, this is only if the game is a success. What's the point of a game with only three characters? Exactly. That's why we need your participation. Hopefully you'll learn a lot about fashion, the industry, and modeling along the way.
Game starts 1st July
