Picture the scene, you've got a shop full of Lingerie crafted from the finest Dragon Pelts imbued with magical energy and more ribbons than is ever necessary, a Salesperson all ready to wow and bills to pay - but no customers!
Enter Models! These lovely people can be hired on as staff to add a couple ways to get those paying customers through your door.
Models come in many different shapes and sizes, have their own styles of lingerie they like and don't like. They also have unique traits and abilities that can effect the store or their performances. Models in your care must be paid, and they level up the more they perform too.
Once the player has a Model in their employ, they are able to perform Photoshoots in order to drive sales in stores and bring more customers in - different races/styles/photography themes can bring in different clientele. If you're wanting to satisfy more Craidden sensibilities, hiring a Craidden Model will help - finding your Cute Lingerie not selling should be easy to solve with a few Cute Themed Photoshoots! They can't wear anything you haven't made though, so make your best pieces for these Models so they really shine.
Catwalks are high risk, high reward. With a maximum of five Models able to take part with three lingerie sets per Model, there's up to 15 sets to curate and wear. Catwalks are usually much more themed and event based, so the player has to either spend a lot to host their own, or take part in public events on the calendar like fashion shows or festivals! Catwalks will really jettison the Hush Blossom's popularity and bring in a lot of customers, as well as attract high end commission work, so be sure to be ready!

With all the above PR-y game-y trailer-y stuff said, this was a fairly simple part of the game to make, it took a good amount of time though as there were some complex parts in the middle - but this has been a satisfying part of the game to create.
This is still an early version of the Model System, but all of the models are in there. Minigames are planned to give the player some agency over the success of these events, as well as a much more beautiful User Interface!
Keep an eye for the next to be developed part of the game - which could be anything, I finished this one a little quickly so need to regroup and consider what to do next! ^_^
Thanks for reading and keep on Blossoming!
