Fashion Design Software
You can play fashion design software on your personal computer or video game system. Some software requires you to purchase it, while you can download other software for free off the Internet. For example, Fashion Solitaire is a well-known software game that you can play free on the Lifetime website. OpiTex and Starting a Clothing Line has fashion designer software that allows you to create 3D virtual models, clothing and accessories. If you would rather be entertained while learning how to design clothing on a computer, then you should consider the Imagine Fashion Designer Game. There are four versions of this game: Imagine Fashion Designer, Fashion Week Designer, Imagine Fashion Designer World Tour and Imagine Fashion Designer New York. Each of these games has software for your personal computer or Nintendo DS gaming system. The object of these games is to create a clothing line, run a photo shoot and manage a fashion business. You learn to create clothes by combining cuts, colors and patterns.
Fashion Design Toys
These toys are ideal for ages six and up. Have your children start learning fashion design at an early stage as they dress their dolls or doll form with fabric cutouts and patterns. Children may also learn how to draw or create designs on paper with stencils, colored pencils or stickers. Barbie, Bratz and Cra-Z-Art are some suggested fashion design toys for children. Some fashion design toys are appropriate for all ages, such as the ones from Project Runway. Players learn how to draw, construct and fit clothing onto their models.
