Fashion Wars is an online MMORPG game that was fist introduced as an application for Social Networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. Introduced by Zynga in September 2008, Fashion Wars is a lifestyle game for social networking centered around fashion and an elite, luxurious lifestyle that enables users to become fashion divas and compete in the user environment based on fashion sense and the acquisition of fashionable clothing and accessories items.

The game is similar to another immensely popular social networking application entitled Sorority Life, which was created by Zynga competitor Playdom. Intended to be a sort of parallel to other popular games such as Mobsters and Mafia Wars, Fashion Wars takes much the same competitive approach in an environment that is intended more for women and those who love to shop. Players can purchase and win virtual items such as luxury vehicles, cell phones, clothing, shoes, accessories, and even facials and spa treatments that are referred to in the game as "glam." The glam that is purchased, gifted, and won in battles with other players gives each user a certain amount of points that equal playing power in terms of future battles with other divas.

Users can design and edit their own fashionista, grow their own posse by adding other friends to their team, earn money, and purchase clothing accessories, luxury vehicles, and spa treatments and manicures. Online forum on the Zynga home page allow Fashion Wars lovers to interact with other users, add friends to grow their posse, and discover tips and tricks for game play. While the game pales in comparison to more testosterone-driven games such as Mafia Wars and Mobsters in terms of popularity, it offers a much higher payout percentage, which allows users to acquire wealth more easily, and give gifts to others in their posse to boost their overall performance.

• Go to the Zynga Fashion Wars forum or Spuko to find other game users to grow your posse.

• Send free gifts to your posse every time you play to get fre gifts back and boost your playing power.

• Be a Money Honey if you can choose.

• Buy properties whenever you can, and don't buy vehicles unless you have to.

• While posse size is helpful, stamina and attitude are more important. Having a posse size over 100 can be a disadvantage.
