How do some get over a nasty break up? By dating someone new, of course. Apparently Bravo has the same mentality. After the devastating end of their 4 year-long relationship with Project Runway, Bravo has announced that they're moving on with their new hit hopeful, The Fashion Show. Bravo's describing it as a "fashion creative competition series that follows 15 designers that range in age from 22 to 38 as they compete for a chance to have their designs sold in the retail market and win a $125,000 prize." Sounds like Bravo goes after the same type. Instead of Elle, Harper's Bazaar will serve as hostess magazine.
The show will be hosted by the practical designer we all know and love, Isaac Mizrahi, co-hosted by the lovely singer, Kelly Rowland (glad she has a job), & judged by the "queen of fashion week", senior VP at IMG, Fern Mallis.
Morgan Kirkpatrick, B|E’s newest intern and devout Project Runway fan, says, “Isaac Mizrahi is a very talented, successful designer, but he’s no match to the gorgeous and witty Heidi Klum, and there isn’t a single designer out there who could touch the infamously showy Michael Kors with a 10-foot pole. Based on my remarks, I’m sure you can tell where I’m going with this - I will not be watching The Fashion Show”.
For those of us who still get sucked in to shows revolving around the fashion world, The Fashion Show will premiere on Bravo on May 7, and we won't consider it cheating if you sneak a peek.

Bravo is still trying to get over the loss of Project Runway. According to shoppingblog, the network has ordered a new reality tv series that will take place inside a Fred Segal store in Santa Monica. “The show will document the daily drama at one of the brand's retail outlets in Santa Monica, focusing on the stressed out and competitive sales team.” Is there seriously that much drama going on at Fred Segal? Morgan thinks it sounds interesting. Guess we’ll have to watch and find out!
