From Scorsese’s adaptation of Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence, protoganist Ellen Olenska asked: “Is fashion such a serious consideration?” To which Newland Archer replied: “Among those who have nothing more serious to consider.”

How dare he, the dog.

Then The Cut reported this - “Coming Soon: The Fashion Week Video Game“. A video game based on the going-ons of Fashion Week is going to be launched next year. This is clearly a serious game with hefty realism- It’s created between game developer 505, global fashion week producers IMG, Makeup guru Pat McGrath and fashion insider Noel Gordon. No doubt, long-suffering IMG needed to vent (so clever to be making money out of it too!) And Pat.. where does she find the time?! According to the The Cut, the game will “include ‘World-class industry gurus’, models and celebrities’.

What’s the fashion game if not for the industry players and front row pawns? The game absolutely must have all the requisite famous first-nam-ers -  Anna, Carine, Andre, Suzy, Karl, Marc, Giselle, Kanye et al … these are staples. Seasonal folks and everyone else will just make the game very expensive to upgrade every season with the who’s it and who’s not.

Oh yes, fashion’s a serious consideration and spectacle - enough that a video game can be made out of it. All the most successful movies have one. Loves it. XOXO.
