Hello everyone!

It's been some time since my last post, but with Fashion Dreamer coming out soon, I thought it was time to revive this blog. If any of you were around way back when, you might remember Aesthetica, a fan project that was meant to be a spin-off of Nuances, the in-game fashion magazine for the original game and Trendsetters/New Style Boutique. Before the imminent release of Fashion Dreamer, I wanted to make a special homage to the Style Savvy series of games - and that's how this final issue of Aesthetica came to be!

Bask in nostalgia or indulge your curiosity as we look through all four games in the series! You can download the zine here (pdf format) or view it on GDrive here! Once again, thank you very much to the community for making this possible, and I hope to see you in the virtual world soon! :D

Featured Links Rose Garden, a Rosiemilla fanmade VN by sevendaysfriend/rosiemillas Aesthetica, a fan project headed by razzberriezz - Issue 1 || Issue 2 || Issue 3 || Issue 4 Style Savvy Challenge Compilation - may be very outdated!

hey, y'all! unfortunately the skirt drop we had planned for this week will have to be delayed until next week, October 3rd at noon EDT, as half our team is currently out sick.

in the mean time, here's a look at the first photos from our recent photoshoot! I'll be getting more pics from the photographer (the incomparable Madeline Michael) some time within the next few weeks and I am BESIDE myself with anticipation. look at how absolutely gorgeous and romantic these came out!

Style Savvy Trendsetters USA vs EU

I recently booted up the USA version of 'Style Savvy TS', as I needed a separate save file (long story). And I was surprised to see that not only is the shopkeeper different, A LOT of the text is changed! It looks like the European version has it's own separate english localization! Later games, such as 'Fashion Forward', just copy the EU text right down to using the term 'trousers'. (ignore any graphical differences, emulator/record settings differ) USA(left) || EU (Right) || ------------------------------------||----------------------------------

Brand name, instructional text, category name.(UK version also support various currencies)

Michaela and Evie are fairly different people(wildly different dialogue) Also Shop design?

The outside of the shop looks the same, But I feel like it ifts both:

More text/name changes, emphasizes character differences. (Same idea, different tone)

Character creation is the same:

(note: the following line: "It's nice to stretch the memorization muscles once in a while" is said in both.) Cell phone screen:

Ok, I know its a short comparison, but I'm going to have to cut it off here. Neither version is 'clearly better' they both follow the same story, I may be a bit bias as I always play the EU versions, But I have a slight preference for Evie over Michaela. Evie feels as if she's written as the 'big sister' trope, wiser than the MC, feels more knowledgeable, and often teases the other character (in a friendly way.) I don't know what's more 'accurate' to the Japanese version, but I found Evie more fun :)

idk who needs to hear this, but if it hasnt already been done i want to clear up some things

Fashion Dreamer is not Style Savvy. BUT. It’s created by Syn Sophia, just like Style Savvy was. So, if you’re still holding out for a title that’s specifically called Style Savvy it’s time to give up, because it’s very safe to assume that Fashion Dreamer is meant to be Style Savvy’s spiritual successor. This may be due to influencers and other internet personalities being way more popular than wanting to run a store among children these days.

so… yea. ^_^

it's so fun doing photoshoots in this game, the promps/themes are fun and seeing poses specific for themes is so interesting

Random idea:

Style savvy contests but on tumblr. A random image or aesthetic chosen like in international (?) contests in the DS version or trendsetters. It's different to the daily bot as its weekly (or something like that). I also want to restrict it to one or two of the games to give everyone a similar wardrobe. Also tumblr voting like in the wireless contests.

OUJI FASHION IN FASHION DREAMER!!

Not a drill guys we finally get ouji fashion, I managed to see two ouji outfits in the trailer look :))

It looks like we get a little brother style and a big brother style! Of course I don’t think there will be that much Ouji in the game but we do get some.

Btw if you see anymore which I didn’t spot feel free to reblog with pictures of them :)

Anyone still playing Styling Star?

I updated my shopdo for the last time with my fav outfits that I’ve made in game! Feel free to visit and take a pic with me, maybe buy some outfits too before the online services shut down.

If you take a pic though, please tag me! I’d love to see! One of my favorite things was when people visited back in the day with photos of our characters together! 😭

I'm like ten years late for this but i've only been playing the new style boutique (1) for a week (I guess that counts as retro gaming ? Dear god i'm old) so here's my honest opinion :

The good points :

- Absolutely love that the daily cycle isn't linked to irl day cycle but to how many activities you've been doing. Lacking a certain thing but you already own every item in the showroom ? You can just go to sleep in game and the showroom stock will have changed !

- That also means it's much faster to grow your stock and personal wardrobe

- Clients will tell you if your stock is missing a certain item or style

- Speaking of, i love that clients no longer look for a specific brand but for a certain style ! It feels more realistic.

- Male brands ! (more brands in general) Male clients ! Also male and female stocks are separate so you don't have to give up on one to please the other. Nice !

- Bigger stock from the get go which makes it so much easier to have a little bit of everything (considering your clients are a lot more diverse, this is good)

- You can choose in what order brands unlock so you can get your favortie style(s) first

- because of a mix of the previous points, i actually get the feeling that i can properly style outfits for my clients

- More personalisation ! You get to choose quite a few details about the outside of your shop and apparently you can decorate your own apartement too (i have not however unlocked that yet)

The bad points :

- The justification for you getting your own shop is even more ridiculous than in the first game

- None of the previous characters are here. I miss them. (Rococco has a very small cameo but that's it so far).

- Mannequin when trying on clothes at the showroom and your shop are white which makes it impossible to distinguish white clothes

- Okay that one is stupid but they changed around where my shop and my appartement are so i keep on going to the wrong one. Damn you muscle memory !

- Hate the horizontal mode. Vertical made so much more sense so i could see the entirety of my outfits

- Events can require you to wear a certain style. If you just wear one item that isn't the right style even though it looked really cute with the rest (the basic jeans apparently make me less feminine, the more you know), you will fail it.

- Subjective, but i don't like how lipsticks look

- Male clothes are very basic and boring

- Money NEVER feelt like an issue. I just have so much of it.

- I get a lot of loading screens in my wardrobe... not good

- Fashion is almost the same as in the original style savvy (so clothes themselves don't make the game upgrade really worth it)
