Hey, little critters!
Some of you might've already noticed the new look a few days ago, but now it's official: Artificial Fashionista received a new title art across all stores, and this is also reflected in the updated main menu!
Aside from that, the latest version comes with the following improvements:
- A new setting for larger UI text.
- Drop shadows for the look book wallpapers.
- Added the ability to advance text by scrolling down.
- Added a fade in to the dialogue text.
I hope you enjoy!

And now, it's time for today's main event!
Contest Winner Announcement
It was such a joy to watch your stunning entries come in over the course of last month, and some of them truly blew me away with their creative item combinations. Thank you so much to everyone who entered, and for making this such a fun little event!
Since everyone decided to enter with 3 outfits, I also chose to consider all three looks for each participant's rating. The criteria I considered were:
- Unique theme - Did the entry present a unique idea?
- Creative item use - Does the entry combine and layer items in creative ways?
- Personal appeal - Does the outfit look good? (subjective opinion)
With those three aspects in mind, the results are as follows...
3rd Place
On the same day as the contest was even announced, amii jumped in with this very strong entry!
The costume party and masquerade ball were both unique and creative ideas, and the third look was a very stylish and pleasing spin on the classic "Celebration" theme!
Prize: Key for the Extra DLC!
2nd Place
Next up we have rockerz3221 covering three very different party types, each one executed perfectly. My personal favorite is the "rave" outfit, combining items from 9 different sets, and nonetheless creating a really cool and cohesive look!
Prize: Key for the Extra DLC!
1st Place
Wow, where do I even start? The garden party look is classy and gorgeous, "birthday clown" is such a fun idea, and the beautiful "wonderland tea party" successfully creates the illusion of a long-sleeved black dress which doesn't actually exist in-game!
This makes Boonie our grand prize winner. Congratulations!
Prize: Design an outfit for the Extra DLC & get a Key!
Conclusion
Thank you again for all your entries - even those who didn't win were stunning, and I hope you had fun!
To all winners: To avoid having to publicly share your contact information, please message [email protected] and then reply to this announcement confirming that you sent an email (so I can verify it's you). I'll then send you a key and I'll coordinate with the first prize winner on how to put their requested look together!
(Make sure to do so until April 8th, or I will unfortunately have to pick a new winner.)
Commissions Open!
Last but definitely not least, if you are also interested in creating a custom look for Artificial Fashionista's final DLC, I've opened "Custom Outfit DLC" commissions for a limited time! Each commissioned outfit will be added to the extra DLC pack on top of the already planned ones, so this might be your last chance to get that one item you always wanted!
As always, thank you for your support, and I hope you look forward to the DLC coming out next month!
