Knowing the reason so many of you make fun of cosplay is because you lack the sewing skills or figure to pull it off yourselves, KOEI has announced that they're bringing Pop Cutie! Street Fashion Simulation to North America this September! What exactly is Pop Cutie!?

"POP CUTIE! Street Fashion Simulation brings together an eclectic mix of Tokyo street style, cosplay (costume play), fashion design and trend hunting to create a game that's part retail management simulation and part style exploration," said Amos Ip, Senior Vice President for KOEI Corporation. "As the game's shop owner you'll compete against rival designers, hire models and staff, design new items, all in search of the ultimate fashion trend."

You start off as a lowly fashion designer selling items out of a flea market stall, building up your portfolio and participating in fashion battles, moving on to larger and larger stores as you create your fashion empire.

Budding fashion designers are directed to hit the jump for some more screens from Pop Cutie!, along with the official press release, full of fashion goodness.
