Charlotte Ronson Gets Style Savvy with Nintendo

Yesterday Nintendo kicked off the launch of their new game Style Savvy with a huge fashion challenge at JCPenney! The Style Savvy "Fashion Fest" challenged mothers and daughters to put their shopping skills to the test by creating a unique look on a budget.

While the teams raced to the racks, we had some time to chat with one of the event's runway judges and fashion designer Charlotte Ronson about her mother daughter shopping experiences! Not only does Ronson have her I Heart Ronson line at JCPenney, it's also one of the 10,000 fashions available in Style Savvy's virtual boutique. Check out what she had to say below.

CosmoGirl: Did you get your fashion genes from your mother?

Charlotte Ronson: I think so. Being twins (with DJ sister Samantha Ronson) we were always dressed the same but she made sure we were able to find our own identity. I loved to wear pink but when I was in trouble she would make me wear blue! My mother never wore full outfits, she always stood out by mixing and matching. Her thing was always asking "Do you love it?" Whenever we would go shopping she would always ask my sister and I if we loved what we were trying on. I was always so indecisive so I'd go home without anything and my sister would go home with everything.

CG: Did your mom ever buy you something that was just hideous?

CR: Oh yes! We all got matching horrible ski jackets. They were a gross green color and overstuffed. We all got one so we could match. There was a lot of matching going on in my family back then.

CG: What is the best shopping tip your mom gave you?

CR: She was never about labels. It was always cooler to find something special and unique.

CG: What is one staple you think all girls should have hanging in their closet?

CR: I think it depends on the person. For me, I'm a more casual person so it's about a great coat and then that will dress up the rest of the outfit.
