Mad Fashion Finale Tuesday, 12/6 @ 10/9c: Chris ends the season with one of his biggest projects yet, designing an outfit for the Met Ball. Working with swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen to create a Black Swan-inspired look, March doesn’t know whether he should be more worried about Chrissy’s reaction to the outfit or her boyfriend’s, John Legend. Looking to strike that perfect balance between sexy, unique and fashionable, Chris thinks he’s pleased everyone, until he receives a late-night call that might force him back into the office for an early-morning alternation. With mere hours until the event, will Chrissy be pleased with her work of art or will Chris have wasted his chance at creating a fashion masterpiece?

Fashion Hunters Finale Pt. 1, Tuesday 12/6 @ 10:30/9:30c: Ambria and Karina are in for a big treat when they get to visit the closet of New York Housewife Kelly Bensimon. As if the wall of designer hand bags isn’t enough, Ambria nearly faints when she sees the size of Kelly’s closet. While Ambria may be slightly over-excited about the potential garments Kelly is going to give them, Karina has learned to tone down her excitement when it comes to consigning. She has run into some problems in the past with over-valuing items that she loves, so this week, when a unique Eric de Kolb clutch comes through the doors, she is sure to be extra cautious.

And don’t miss Fashion Hunters Finale Pt. 2 at 11:00/10:00c!

Bethenny looks stunning in this RM by Roland Mouret Fall 2007 gown at Bravo’s 2nd Annual A-List Awards.

Although Beyoncé wore this glittery Hervé Léger bandage dress before her, I thought Bethenny rocked it harder at The Real Housewives of New York City season 2 premiere party.

Truly one of the worst celebrity outfits I’ve ever seen, Bethenny is a pink nightmare in ruffled seersucker. I voted her the worst dressed at the Kentucky Derby that year.

Bethenny dons a sequined costume for a routine on Skating With the Stars. Awesome bodysuit, ugly poodle hair I’m sure was not her choice.

Twenty-four days after giving birth, Bethenny wore this adorable Alice + Olivia Spring 2010 dress while filming at The Children’s Place in Greenwich Village.

What do you think of Bethenny Frankel’s fashion evolution? Stay tuned for another Reality Star Runway tomorrow.

- You just can’t keep a good tran down. Brad Goreski, the hunky and adorable bow-tied supergay from The Rachel Zoe Project is getting his own Bravo reality show, It’s a Brad Brad World. Zero points for the title, but I’ll tune in any day of the week to watch that lady’s tearful shenanigans. [Fashionista]

- If you were ever wondering what former Oasis frontman and all-around limey prick, Liam Gallagher‘s thoughts on Rocawear were, well, now you know. When asked to compare his label, Pretty Green, with Jay Z‘s, Gallagher responded: “You’re going to be fucking arrested wearing his gear and you’re going to pull a really nice-looking bird wearing mine.” Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher’s known for flipping more birds than for pulling them and Jay has Beyoncé. Just sayin’. [Styleite]

Julie Nixon was the first “celebrity” DVF saw wearing her designs and subsequently inspired the wrap dress.

“She wore a little wrap top with a matching skirt and I thought that was really nice. That’s when I decided actually to attach it and turn it into a dress.”

Well, at least that presidency gave the nation something worth remembering. Speaking of remembering, Iman and DVF take us down memory lane to the first time they met.  It was over 30 years ago at Lord & Taylor when DVF spotted that stunning giraffe glide into the room – “this extraordinary creature. You’v never seen anything so beautiful in your life.”

She approached the extraordinary creature and asked if she was a model – duh –  then asked her for her number. Iman kneeled in an “extraordinary” way and they’ve been friends ever since.

According to Iman, however:

“I don’t kneel for anybody like that except David Bowie and Diane von Furstenberg.”

Andy tried to touch on their time at 54, but they both pleaded the 5th. I’ll just assume that means they can’t discuss it lest they face federal imprisonment and/or deportation.

Check out the Bravo website for some more iconic wisdom and the video below for an Iman-tage of the super’s greatest moments from The Fashion Show so far. One word: amazeballs.

Iman is ridiculous and she knows it. The supermodel will debut as a TV host tonight on the revamped The Fashion Show on Bravo. To commemorate the occasion, she shot with Mark Seliger for December’s Harper’s Bazaar and sat down with Barneys Creative Director, Simon Doonan for an interview that reads something like an old-school comedy routine between Paul Lynde and Phyllis Diller.

And if you know who those people are, who taught you to use one of these newfangled computer boxes?

Simon: How many times a day do you Google yourself?

Iman: Every five minutes. I simply can’t take my eyes off myself. Kidding! I would rather Google other people than Google myself.

Simon: Who takes more time to get ready?

Iman: David takes five minutes. Me? I don’t do anything by myself. I have a whole crew to get me ready every day.

Simon: You seem like an optimist and a positive force, but you must have done something appalling in your past.

Iman: I was once very rude to a young model. Just before I retired from modeling, I was at this shoot. The photographer said he was reading a biography of Marie Antoinette. The young model asked us, “What agency is she with?” [Shrieks of derisive laughter] We made fun of her, of course! When we were leaving, she said to me, “I hope I look as good as you when I’m your age,” and I said, “Don’t worry, darling, you won’t.” And then later I felt bad.

I feel like I’ve learned so much from Iman. My favorite tidbit, though, is perhaps the time that Oprah sat Iman with Michelle Obama because O thought that they would have “something to discuss” since Iman majored in political science before modeling.

My head just exploded writing that.

Catch Lindsay Lohan waging twitter warfare with Bravo, the difficult Naomi Campbell keeping everyone on edge and Hello Kitty losing its innocence to Lady Gaga. In case you missed any of the season’s drama, the series is now one click away. I know have to pick up a few episodes for some unforgettable moments.

Here’s some gossip from the episode which airs tonight at 11PM:

Gaga’s former man, Matthew Williams, is on set and at some point he encourages her to work the pole “as you know how to work it…” She was a little annoyed. (Scandalous)

Naomi is  just … Naomi.  Watch the eff out!  And she scared the crap out of Indrani.  In fact, when Indrani gave direction, Naomi just yelled NO. (Hopefully there won’t be any cell phone around)

Don’t forget to tune in to Bravo at 11PM tonight for this exciting episode of Double Exposure.

On Iman replacing her on The Fashion Show:

BRAVO’s newest series, Kell on Earth, has us all heating up! After last week’s fashion week mishap with client Chado Ralph Rucci, Kelly is determined to make sure the next show goes off without a hitch. But when front of house gets waaay out of hand during the press check-in, will newly-promoted employee Stefanie be able to handle the pressure? And Kelly and her staff have an emergency on their hands when a model collapses during one of their events, how will the team handle the crisis?

Watch fashion’s scariest women (not in a bad way) tonight @10pm. More videos after the jump…

Kelly vs Interns:

Lindsay Lohan’s new campaign says “strippers need expensive leggings, too!” Shot by photographers-turned-reality stars Markus Klinko and Indrani (stars of the new Bravo reality show ‘Double Exposure,’ showing all of us little people how the world of high fashion photography really works) and styled by GK Reid. Maybe if she wasn’t on a stripper pole I might think these leggings were cooler? What do you guys think.

As Project Runway runs to Lifetime, or maybe not, we all thought Bravo would be left all lonely and out in the cold. Well, their here to prove us wrong! And I have to say, I’m quite happy about it. Word has it that Bravo execs are in talks about featuring five new fashion-themed shows. Yes, we just said five! Three of them are straight-up intoxicating fashion, whilst the others are more lifestyle shows.

First on the list is Fashionality, a discussion and interview rich entertainment base. Number two is Celebrity Sew-Off, in which featured celebrities attempt to make their own clothes. Next is Double Exposure and Polo. Double Exposure follows the everyday life of Markus Klinko, a fashion photographer, whilst Polo documents the lives of top polo players. And finally, we have The Dubai Projects, featuring top lifestyles in an awesome city! This is crazy exciting, but let’s hope at least one of these budding reality series doesn’t crash and burn- we know how easy it is for that to happen. What are you most excited for?

So, we have already informed you about the phenomenon of the Botox Bag. Yes, you heard it correctly. These are the bags, which are given botox in order to produce a softer material product. Lately, it seems as though the bags are gaining more footing on center stage.

Although The Real Housewives of Atlanta has yet to premiere on Bravo, previews have been rolling constantly. It has been made clear that, in the premiere episode of the series, one of the women reveals her obsession for Zagliani python bags. What’s so curious about this obsession? Well, the bags are injected with botox! The member of the “crew” is clearly in awe of the wonders of botox:

“It’s a talking point, and none of my friends have one”

Hmm…Sounds reason enough to botox one of my bags.

Thanks to NYMag and NYDN!

TIM GUNN: Be honest, who doesn’t love fashion consultant and Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn? As the chair of fashion design at Parsons The New School For Design and host of Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, it is safe to say that this man really knows his fashion shtik. Gunn’s fashion advice always leads to the polished and classy. He’ll help you accentuate your features, hide your flaws and “make it work.”

NOLE MARIN: Former jude on America’s Next Top Model and current editor/stylist for Elle, Nole Marin too has a leg up on the industry. The guy has even worked with the average Joe, providing fashion advice and makeovers for desperate teens on MTV’s Made. Marin might not be the most edgy stylist out there, but he knows what is current and he knows how to style the average body.

MISS J. ALEXANDER: Sometimes it is hard to take Miss J seriously, a grown man in makeup, pigtails and sometimes stilettos, but as runway coach, judge and consultant on America’s Next Top Model, his advice is always spot on. He might be cocky and brash, but Miss J knows what women look good in and how they should “work it.” Trust his attitude, a confident look is always the best look.

RACHEL ZOE: If your goal is to look like a celebrity, then Rachel Zoe is the stylist for you. Noted for working with prominent celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Mischa Barton and Demi Moore as well as her Bravo TV show, The Rachel Zoe Project, Zoe has all tips for glamour and sophistication.

CRISTINA EHRLICH AND ESTEE STANLEY: You may not have heard of them, but this duo may very well be the most demanded stylists in the celebrity scope. They’ve made Penelope Cruz and Nicole Richie look like a million bucks, but even so, they know how to dress on a budget. Take their expertise and pay attention to details, buy high quality classic pieces, wear a variety of silhouettes and build off of a simple piece.
