Style Savvy: Fashion Forward is the third game in the Style Savvy series and was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2016. It was followed by Style Savvy: Styling Star in 2017.
Like its predecessors, Fashion Forward is a fashion-themed simulation game where the player must run a boutique and serve customers.
Story[]
The player awakens to find a letter from their grandmother, containing a key to a dollhouse. Upon opening the dollhouse, they meet a doll-sized girl named Sophie, who invites the player to help her at her struggling boutique in 'Beaumonde City'.
Gameplay[]
The main premise of the game remains the same, with the player's goal being to dress customers according to their brand and image preferences. The game makes a return to real-time simulation, similar to the first game.
In a new feature, Fashion Forward gives the player the option to work as a hairstylist and make-up artist for customers, in addition to managing their boutique.
The map and apartment features are mixed up to accommodate the dollhouse setting, with the player being able to decorate their dollhouse, add rooms, and collect special miniature items. An internet function, called the Caprice Chalet, added an area to the game where the player can display their rooms and rent them to NPCs, share their dollhouse via internet and Streetpass, and view and download other players' dollhouses and rooms.
Trivia[]
- Fashion Forward is the first game in the series with Amiibo compatibility, giving the player access to special clothing designs via scanning certain character figurines.
