Does anybody watch The Fashion Show on Bravo? It premiered this May and comes on Thursdays at 10:00 p.m.. Word on the street is that it’s amaaa-zing!
From what I gather from the commercials, it’s a bit like Project Runway — and you can NEVER have too many fashion-based reality TV shows. I’m pretty sure my keen eye for amazing fashion (;-)) came from my incessant watching of What Not To Wear as a teenager and the oh-so-amazing week-long marathons of America’s Next Top Model on VH1. (Seriously, Tyra Banks hath delivered to us the stylish equivalent of a bball fan’s March Madness, and we, the fashionistas, are eternally grateful.)
So in The Fashion Show, 15 designers compete to have their designs sold in a retail venue PLUS a prize of $125,000. It’s times like these that make me wish I had talent as a seamstress and/or designer, but alas, I do not.
What makes it even more amazing is that one of the co-hosts is Kelly Rowland. Old school Destiny’s Child, what?
You can find a few of the episodes on YouTube. Behold, episode 1 part 1, for those of you who need to catch up:
This is all getting me really excited for Fall Fashion Week 2009. Can’t wait to see what the new season brings!
You’ve offically hit up the best blogspot that has all you need to know about last nights “Fashion Show” Episode.
“Every designer needs to have a few tricks up their sleeve and in this week’s Harper’s Bazaar mini-challenge the designers need to prove they know the tricks of the trade in a “repair relay race.” In the elimination challenge, the designers must collaborate and create a unified line of coats that cohesively addresses every season — Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.”
Who do you think pulled out the best coat? I thought daniella took it this week personally!
Each week there’s an option to buy the winning outfit: I wasn’t really feeling andrew’s winning look but I do LOVE the retail cut of the piece he made for sale to the public!
A pretty ingenious idea. A coat that doubles as a short spring bubble style or a long trench. I am actually considering this coat! Could we be seeing this new silhoette on our coat racks this fall?
My new obession the “fashion show” was on last night. I just wanted to see if anyone else was upset that Reco wasn’t even recognized for his dress he made! I thought it was one of the better constructed pieces. Anna’s was classically pretty but very safe. I feel that in these fashion reality shows the contestants are so quick to do the high waisted skirt and the high neck sleeveless number and it always wins! I remember seeing this on project runway! The judges had it right with Daniella this week. The short jumpsuit and sheer jacket with bow was a great look and wasn’t playing it safe.
Bravo has a great poll where you can be the judge and see all the looks.
