This came from one of the recent interviews with Yoshi P at E3 - regarding the Fashion Report and potential plans to expand on it:

"The issue we have is, say for example, in one particular week, the theme is summer vacation and then the expected answer to give you a maximum score is… something that you can’t believe is the answer to the theme. The sensibility of the person making the themes and assignments… if their sensibility is horrible, it causes an issue.

We tried to make adjustments to alleviate this, but unfortunately I can’t check the minute content every week. With the update, we also need to find a developer that has better fashion sense, or have the current person polish their sense of fashion. While they do that though we might have issues where their taste is really horrible… so it’s pretty tough."


I had no idea that there was an actual person behind assigning what the weekly theme is. I had always figured it was a smattering of possible themes and their associated clothing all randomized for the week to create something resembling "fashion".

So it seems there is a real-life Redolent Rose!
