Product Review: Fashion Playtes (Oct ‘09)

If you have a young fashionista in your home, this is for you!

When I was young my favorite toy was Fashion Plates.  My friends and I spent hours using mixing and matching the patterned plastic pieces to design our own outfits with paper and colored pencils, secretly wishing we could have worn our designs for real.

Well, now girls can design their own outfits and have them made for real!

Fashion Playtes is the new virtual design studio for girls ages 6-12.  On FashionPlaytes.com, young fashionistas can design their own clothes with their own fashion labels and have them actually made to wear at an affordable price.

According to “Tween Spending and Influence” by EPM Communications, tweens are still largely guided by their parents, but are eager for independence and to be recognized as individuals.

Launched in July, Fashion Playtes is taking the tween fashion world by storm and empowering girls’ creativity and self-expression.  They can design their own clothes, create their own fashion label and order their personal designs to wear, all at a reasonable price.
