"Show off your sense of style and dominate the fashion world across 5 exciting careers! Manage your own boutique, design clothes fit for a fashionista, style some wicked hair, master the art of make-up, and even become the next top model. The world is your runway in this fun fully outfitted fashion game." - Nintendo[1]

You awaken to receive a letter from your Grandmother, containing a key for a small dollhouse. Upon opening the door you are met with a doll-sized girl by the name of Sophie; who explains that your Grandmothers were best friends. Sophie is thrilled by your sense of fashion and invites you to help her struggling boutique in 'Beaumonde city'. Using your fashion skills and her social skills the two of you now work together to make the city a more fashionable place to be.[5][6]
Unlike the previous games, Fashion Forward allows the player to work and be paid as a hair stylist and a make-up artist alongside managing the fashion boutique.[7]
Each customer will have either a brand or image in mind and it's your job to choose items that will match their style or create a whole new image by combining different types.[8]
