None of this is a total fashion disaster, but it lacks the giddy glitz and glamour needed to make you feel like the next Vivienne Westward. Instead, the game is left to rely on its low-res art, wine bar soundtrack, and limp story. You can add a personal touch to designs by tweaking patterns and colours before the shows, but it’s a hollow exercise with no effect on your final score.

You select items by tapping and dragging them from a rack at the bottom of the screen - which needs to be regularly swiped to search for matching outfits - and placing them on the models, with points being awarded by judges for your selection of tops, bottoms, and shoes.Įarly on, with only one or two designs to handle, it’s relatively easy to throw together some suitable clobber and flounce off with the three stars needed to unlock the next level. To advance the waif-like storyline you have to showcase Jojo’s latest designs by dressing a trio of models before shoving them onto the runway.įrom a rack of frankly hideous items (dresses, tops, skirts, shoes), you have to make up complete outfits that closely match the description above each model’s head. In a plot conveyed through sub- Devil Wears Prada dialogue exchanges between ridiculously thin characters, you play an aspiring fashionista recruited by internationally renowned designer Jojo to assist on her tour of the globe’s finest runways (Tokyo, Paris, Rio). That being said, it was no surprise when Jojo’s Fashion Show World Tour turned out to be as tedious and drawn out as a mid-season episode of America’s Next Top Model.
