To fill the Fashion void that Project Runway’s death move to Lifetime has caused, Bravo is introducing a new fashion competition Reality TV show aptly titled “The Fashion Show”. Similar to its predecessor the fifteen contestants will compete in two weekly challenges, the Harper’s Bazaar mini challenge judged by Harper’s Bazaar Special Projects Director Laura Brown, and the elimination challenge. Since Nina Garcia, Michael Kors, Tim Gun and Heidi Klum are overseeing Project Runway’s funeral at Lifetime a new set of judges and host(s) are being ushered in. Liz Claiborne’s Creative Director Isaac Mizrahi will serve at the primary host alongside co-host and judge Kelly Rowland a Former Destiny’s Child member and Grammy Award Winner and Senior VP of IMG Fashion (whom I’ve met during Swim Week in Miami) Fern Mallis.
The competition starts Thursday May, 7th at10p.m ET. Fifteen will compete but at the end America will choose which designer will have a clothing line available for retail and win the $125,000 USD prize. For more details on the Show, Contestants and Judges head over to Bravo TV.
