What Exactly is Sim de la Mode?
Sim de la Mode is your gateway to the fashion industry - a game that teaches you real fashion business skills while you play.
It's where fashion meets tech - an interactive experience that shows you how to create and run your own fashion brand. No boring lectures - just hands-on learning about every aspect of fashion.
From building your brand to understanding the market, you'll learn everything you need to start your fashion career - all in a risk-free space where mistakes are just part of the journey.
Who Created Sim de la Mode?
I'm Ekaterina, and fashion has been my world for nearly 20 years. From luxury retail to FashionTech startups, I've lived every aspect of this incredible industry.
Working with major fashion brands showed me what it really takes to succeed in fashion today. But I also saw how many talented young people struggle to break into the industry.
That's why I created Sim de la Mode - to share real industry knowledge in a way that's actually fun. By combining fashion expertise with gaming technology, I'm helping the next generation of fashion entrepreneurs learn the ropes without the risks.
My mission? To make fashion business education accessible, engaging, and most importantly - real. No more guessing about what it takes to make it in fashion.
