I’m sure many Nokia fans know who Anina is. Those not familiar should know she’s a model, a Nokia Champion and founder of the 360Fashion Network. And now she’s launching her own mobile game!
The idea behind the Flash Lite based ANINA DRESS UP app is to “bring reality into the virtual environment” — real model, real designers, and real fashion — while at the same time promoting designer talent on a global level.
As an end user, you’re invited to discover local brands and new designers ahead of the curve. In addition, the latest insider fashion news from 360Fashion are there to keep you both informed and entertained, all while on-the-go.
On the other end of the spectrum, local fashion brands get global visibility.
Participating designers include London-based, ELEYKISHIMOTO, New York’s Chesley McLaren, Holland’s Jolina Jolink, Daryl van Wouw, BLUEBLOOD, Jan Taminiau, DFF’s Conny Groenewegen, China’s Zebra Woods accessories, and Belgian designer Anja Austa.
Back to the game. It’s fairly simple and there are few modes of play. One mode involves playing a memory game where your task is to recreate the outfit shown under one minute. In the other mode, you can mix and match your own outfits or download existing ones to Anina’s closet. When your new design is ready, upload it to online gallery and let the people vote do they like it or not.
Finally, I’ll add that Brasil based i2 tecnologia helped Anina build the game, which you can download from mobi.aninadressup.com.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
