Have you ever seen a cute outfit on television and wished you were the one showing it off? Well do not worry any more fashionistas, because Fashion Star is here to help! Fashion Star is a show about fashion designers who participate in a competition to win the title and sign off with popular retail stores such asSaks Fifth Ave., H & M, and Macy’s to make fashion-forward trends available to the public.
The designers are mentored by three judges—Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson, and John Varvatos, known by the public because of their own products in retail stores and for their celebrity appearances. Each week, the judges must eliminate one of the three lowest scoring contestants. As one person gets eliminated, the others have to work as twice as hard to stay in the judges’ good graces. If the competitors do not get an offer from any of the three buyers then they have a chance of going home. However, when the retailers love a contestant’s design, they can offer the designers up to $120,000, or the three stores bid an even higher price if they think that it’s truly exceptional.
This show is truly a win-win-win situation! Not only do the designers and the retail stores benefit, but as an audience we benefit as well! The designs created on the show are not only made for the runway, but are available online and stocked up in many retail stores.
This show has been a unique and benefitting project. It has been about four weeks since the show has aired and the whole world loves it; all of the designers’ successful fashion pieces have sold out! The designers are nothing but speechless because they are creating fashion forward outfits and making a ton of money. They have a chance to rise to fame while trying to win the title. The designers still have a long way ahead of them; all but one will go home and that one winner will be known as the Fashion Star!
