    Think you've got to wait until Project Runway to return to the tube before you get your fashion tv fix? No worries, tonight is the premiere of Bravo's newest show, The Fashion Show. Hosted by designer Isaac Mizrahi (you can definitely count on him to provide funny and quotable sound bites every episode!) and entertainer Kelly Rowland, watch fifteen designers compete to win $125,000 and a chance to sell their designs to the public. Each week, the designers will have to go through not one, but two challenges. Mizrahi and Rowland will also serve as judges alongside Senior Vice President of IMG Fashion, Fern Mallis and a special guest judge every week. But in the end, viewers like you will be able to choose the winner of the grand prize. Watch the video to see an introduction to all the designers and choose your favorite. Catch the series premiere tonight at 10/9c and visit Bravo for more info!

    Who Demonstrated The Most Dreadful D-List Style At Bravo's ...

    Bravo's 2nd Annual A-List Awards, hosted by Kathy Griffin and airing next Wednesday, might want to consider a name change. While its nominees boast undoubtedly elite names like Justin Timberlake (A-List Male Style), Britney Spears (A-List Artist Of The Year), and Zac Posen (A-List Designer), and other front-runners across the whole artistic spectrum, Paris Hilton was probably the closest thing to "A-List" the event's makeshift red carpet actually saw the whole night (yikes). While I couldn't help but be delighted by the sight of some of my favorite flamboyant Bravo stars, such as Top Chef's Fabio Viviani and the Millionaire Matchmaker herself, Patti Stanger, I actually couldn't help but feel bad for the paparazzi and their lack of interesting subject matter! If it made their jobs anymore exciting, however, some of the event's pseudo-celebrities and celebutantes looked laughably ridiculous in some ill-fitting garments and "what were they thinking?" ensemble choices. Aubrey O'Day surprisingly left her usual skin-tight hoochie dresses at home and opted for a dress that looked ridiculously too big for her in all the wrong places, and the expectedly stylish Rachel Zoe looked like some kind of creepy couture ghost floating down the carpet with her huge shapeless dress billowing in the wind. Vote below on which attention-seeking red carpet strutter looked the silliest! Photo Credit: PR Photos

    Tyra Banks and "America's Next Top Model," watch out! Bravo's modeling competition show, "Make Me a Supermodel," is back for a second season premiering tonight! The show will be hosted by the dashing model Tyson Beckford and feature judges such as French fashion designer Catherine Malandrino and one of my favorite models from the '90s, Jenny Shimizu. Sixteen aspiring supermodels will be competing to win the title, $100,000 and a contract with New York Model Management. Will you be cheering for tall, lanky and geeky med school bound Colin? Or are you placing your bets on Amanda, a single mom who lost all her baby weight gain in only a month? Watch the video and see these budding models already half naked and preparing to be measured. I certainly don't envy them for that nerve-wracking experience! Be sure to watch the rest of the show every Wednesday at 10/9c on Bravo!

    New York Fashion Week Runway: Project Runway Designers Let ...

    Project Runway's traditional Bryant Park finale -- the chance of a lifetime for its contestants -- has always been an event full of nail-biting excitement and audience chit-chat over their favorites among the top 3 and who they predict will take the season's title. For the show's 6th season, however, things had to be done a little differently. While legal battles over the rights to the show, which raked in about 4 million viewers each episode last year, rage on and remain undecided, production for the 6th season was forced to move on with the traditional Fashion Week finale even though its preliminary episodes may not air for several more months, if the disputes are ever finally settled. As a result, in order to prevent spoiling the season due to leaks, the final 3 contestants were not allowed to introduce their designs this time around and instead were forced to remain hidden and anonymous for the runway show finale -- the occasion that is normally supposed to be their proudest moment to date. While this undoubtedly put a damper on the usually high-profile and openly celebratory event, the good news is that the clothes truly did get all the glory (that is, when people weren't too busy buzzing over the whole legal issue) -- and isn't that what Fashion Week should be about, anyway? While I thought the show seemed to lack its usual brightness (though it's hard to top Season 3's Uli Herzner when it comes to color variety) and black leather certainly seemed to be in surplus, collectively I found the three collections to be greatly impressive -- both in their elaborate construction and chic wearability (save for a couple extreme biker-esque numbers, I would gladly have taken down any one of the models and walked off wearing any of the ensembles shown)! Despite common fabrics, each designer seemed to hold their own and show off distinct visions, even in their anonymity. While I was blown away by the 2nd designer's array of flirty dresses (I can't even imagine how much work he/she must have put in to pull off all the ruffled and paneled detailing!), I must say that I think I'm already pulling for the 3rd designer's "futuristic-equestrian" line because of its cohesive completion -- almost every ensemble contained 3 or 4 pieces, some even including a handmade bag! Plus, that closing black ballgown with sequin detailing may just be the prettiest thing I've ever seen float down the finale runway!


    Colors: tons of black, silvery blue, tan, satiny cream
    Silhouettes: layered ruffles, chunky sweaters, cropped coats, snug pants, short dresses
    Celeb Sightings: Akon, past winners Christian Siriano and Jay McCarroll

    Hive Q&A: Latest Project Runway Bootee Says Mama Doesn't ...

    Tensions ran high during last night's "Project Runway" challenge as the designers were faced with creating an outfit for a recent college grad, with one caveat- the young grads' mothers would be present throughout the design process. Juggling the requests of the grads with the opinions of their moms all while staying within the lines of the challenge proved difficult for some, and with no immunity for the remaining six designers, there was no choice but to impress. Extra pressure came in the form of TRESemme stylist Jeanie Syfu's announcement that the winning look would be featured in Elle magazine, along with the appearance of guest judge Cynthia Rowley. With two days to work, $100 to spend, and plenty of opinions to uphold, the designers had their work cut out for them, but inspiration was not quite so plentiful. In the end, it was pretty clear that one of two would be auf'd. Read on for my exclusive interview and find out who it was!
