Fashion Week – the Video Game?
Got a crazy press release last night that I might not believed had it not come from IMG, which puts on NY Fashion Week: Get ready for Fashion Week Live, the video game, due out in 2010. IMG has teamed up with 505 Games, makeup artist Pat McGrath and “fashion insider” Noel Gordon (who is Noel Gordon?) to create a video game based on the increasingly-unreal Fashion Week. It will feature “world-class industry gurus, top models and the star-studded runways of Fashion Week events worldwide.”

Also, this group hasn’t exactly been noted for its, er, technical prowess. (Remember those long silences before a show starts as someone figures out how to work the stereo.) So is it for the audience of teenage girls that tries to sneak into the Project Runway show during Fashion Week?
There are no details yet, but here are some suggestions for the structure of the game:
