Fantasy Fashion League

Filed under: Designers, Fashion News by: Uptown Girl

Inspired by her husband’s “addiction” to Fantasy Football - in which sports nuts form six-member leagues and draft imaginary teams (made up from 10 real players in the NFL) to score points based on how each player does during the season - New Jersey stay-at-home mom Erica Salmon wanted to come up with an alternative for girls. Instead of quarterbacks or wide receivers, FFL’s online game drafts teams of clothing, accessory and jewelry designers who score points based on how many magazines, awards shows, and celebrities their goods grace between the Emmy night kickoff through the Oscar weekend playoffs.

The concept:

You create your own fashion league - - your desired fantasy fashion team, made up of 4 fashion clothing designers, 3 accessories designers and three celebrities. WWD.com is the official Web site of Women’s Wear Daily, the industry’s most respected source of fashion news.

Mention of a designer’s first name, last name, or abbreviation of name (i.e. DVF for Diane von Furstenberg) in Today’s Top Stories, Fashion, Retail, Accessories, Sportswear, Beauty, and Financial sections will earn: 5 points for a headline and/or 1 point for first paragraph of article, bold name within article, or photo caption. Designers and celebrities pictured/mentioned in association with InStyle.com’s “Look of the Day” will earn 5 points. You can read more here

    You might want to try Fafarazzi.com, too. They score mostly from the gossip blogs, it seems

    There’s another new site that’s really fun and girly called http://www.girlsintheknowinc.com. It’s the original Celebrity Fantasy League and they’ve even got cool ideas for draft parties.

    It would also be a nice idea to create a women’s game “Fantasy Shopping”! Won’t we save lots of money with it? :)
