Bravo is gearing up to drop another big fashion show on us, and this time it’s a documentary style show about the big time fashion photogs Markus Flinko + Indrani.

I had never heard that Detroit has a Fashion Week, but apparently they do. I’m sorry that I didn’t cover this, maybe next year, since you know, as the website says it’s Michigan’s “only fashion industry event.” That makes it sound so much more sad than exciting.

This year’s week was sponsored by the CW and showcased designs by Reco Chapple of Bravo’s ‘The Fashion Show,’ and Bianca Golden from one of the millions of seasons of America’s Next Top Model.

Even though everyone and their gay in the closet brother would watch, Marc Jacobs won’t be hitting the reality circuit just yet. Sorry Bravo, you’ll just have to settle for every other fame whoring designer out there.

Bravo reality stars Bethenny Frankel, Christian Siriano and Fabio Viviani to have their own shows.  Great, more reality TV, not.

Somehow Bravo got it in their head that it was a good idea to reproduce the trash-ion that the Real Housewives of Orange County, New Jersey, New York, and Atlanta wear.  Royal Plus has apparently agreed, and the two are teaming up to produce a Real Houswives-inspired line. I don’t even want to know what this might look like, but I’m sure it can be perfectly accessorized with a fake tan and big boobs. Thoughts?

It appears to me that Project Runway’s new home at Lifetime may be the best move possible for the show! After a severely disappointing fifth season on the Bravo network, the season six preview definitely looks entertaining! And if stolen fabric and emotional designers didn’t stir enough drama for you, Lifetime’s addition to Project Runway, Models of the Runway, looks like a cattier, more realistic version of America’s Next Top Model. 

The new season starts on August 20th at 10PM Eastern Standard Time on Lifetime. One month, folks!

Here’s a first look into the new reality show, NYC Prep, that follows true life gossip girls. Only, Gossip Girl is actually Facebook, and the kids are way less attractive!

NYC Prep premieres Tuesday, June 23 @ 10/9c on Bravo!

Since it’s freezing in Boston today, I decided to do some posts in front of the TV today. I decided to watch Bravo’s The Fashion Show for the first time ever today, which is what has spawned this post of confusion. Why in the hell is Kelly Rowland the host? What fashion credibility does she even have, because we have all seen the camo laden “Survivor” video. I think this really takes away from the legitimacy of the show a lot.

What do you think indies, with all the fashion people who would clearly love to be a part of this show, Why would they chose Kelly Rowland?

So the rumor from the blogette’s at Fashionista.com is that Laura Bennett is set to get her own show. Seems like “cheating” Sebula is the only one who’s been left in the dark as Laura quickly grabs more and more of the spotlight. The show will focus on Laura’s life as a designer, architect, journalist for the Daily Beast, and mother of her brood of six kids. Seems really, um, boring. Seriously, is Jeffery dead?

With a mere three episodes left of the competition and just five contestants standing, the pressure is on to be flawless. The models must pull off a sexy beachfront photo shoot. The catch? They have to do it in freezing temperatures during the dead of winter while pretending that it looks like summer! The contestants feel the threat when the photographer gives Salome positive notes, but they must focus when they have a demanding catwalk challenge. Will they be able to pull it off without a hitch?

To show some love to the fans, Bravo would love to giveaway with some cute long sleeved t-shirts (above), they have 5 so comment with your name and address and we’ll get those to you asap.

The Fred Segal Store, the high-end retailer favored by celebrities will be the subject of a new reality show headed to Bravo. The show will follow the daily drama that occurs in the lives of those who work and shop at the retail outlet’s Santa Monica, California location.

“Fred Segal is a legendary retail haven synonymous with high fashion and style, and the fashionistas who work, shop and gossip at the store promise to have arresting, entertaining, colorful personalities and lives,” Frances Berwick, executive vp and general manager at Bravo, told The Hollywood Reporter.

So, I was really trying to be optimistic about this one, but it doesn’t seem like there’s much place for optimism in this situation. Yes, this is the third time another move on the Project Runway lawsuits has come into play. Just to make sure everyone’s up to date-First, NBC sued Weinstein Co. because they sold the show to Lifetime, then, Lifetime moved the issue to federal court, and now, just for the hell of it, Weinstein Co. is suing Bravo. It makes me dizzy just thinking about it! Weinstein Co. claims that Bravo intentionally cut-back advertising for Project Runway’s season 5 because the were resentful that the show moved to Lifetime. It was revealed what Weinstein said about Bravo’s harsh actions:

“[they were] changing the show’s airtime; running a small number of ads; creating ‘mundane and unappealing’ ads; providing little information for the press about the season premiere; and revealing spoilers about future episodes.”

Let’s just get it all over with! We need season 6!

We haven’t spoken too much about The Rachel Zoe Project, but word has it that the relatively “concise” season is coming to a close. No one is quite sure if the show, which airs on Bravo, will be coming back for a dose of season two, but Zoe sure would like to take the offer-

“Nothing’s official, but if Bravo asks, I’d love to. I can take it!”

Not only has the show sparked quite a bit of judgment, but quite a bit of anger as well. Speaking of Zoe and her “ludicrous” antics, a New York Times critic has spoken.

She’s “a pox on humanity.” Going on she speaks of her “mad consumption ,” which is “downright unseemly.”

Not sure what would happen if the show did return. I’m guessing at least a few more reviews like this are inevitable.

Thanks NYMag!

Did anyone watch The Rachel Zoe Project preview episode on Bravo Monday? Her closet flooded, destroying tens of thousands of dollars in designer gowns. And, her assistants went NUTS. SOOO funny!

Bravo has cut two of the best scenes from the show…

Celebrity stylist, Rachel Zoe, released a sneak preview of her new reality show on Bravo last night. The show is titled The Rachel Zoe Project and premieres on Bravo September 8. Though TV scheduals tend to be filling up, it seems as if Ms. Zoe was hoping we had a little room for her reality show (because TV really is lacking in those, right?).
