Fashion Star!

Have you seen the hottest new fashion show on NBC? No? Well then you're totally missing out! I really think they got it right this time, with the concept, judges, and format because you can actually purchase what is on the runway!!
Here's how the show works:
There are 14 designers, 3 mentors, and 3 buyers/judges. Each week the designers are given a task and at the end of the week they present their garments in a fun-filled fashion show. During the design process the designers meet with their mentors who just happen to be; Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson, and John Varvatos!! They each give advice on the silhouette, fabric choice, brand message, and marketability. After the runway show the buyers, which include; Caprice Willard from Macys, Terron E. Schaefer from Saks, and Nicole Christie from H&M can either purchase the garments for their store or not make an offer.

If the designers get bought then they are safe for the next week and if they receive no offers then they are in danger of elimination. The judges then pick the bottom 3, the mentors can choose one designer to save, and then the buyers make the final decision. The ultimate prize is a $6 million dollar order from all three retailers!!!

The reason why I think this show is going to be a success is because you can actually buy the clothes online or in the store the next day! It's a win-win situation; the designers get their brand out there which will open doors even if they lose, and they gain valuable knowledge about the industry from the mentors who have been very successful.
