Bravo Sells Winning Items From 'The Fashion Show'

Bravo Sells Winning Items From 'The Fashion Show'

Bravo's new reality television show, appropriated from 'Project Runway', aired nationwide last night. Hosted by Isaac Mizrahi, Fern Mallis and Kelly Rowland 'The Fashion Show' aims to groom young designers by presenting them with challenges that test their design ability. One winner will be chosen in the end, however, the winner of each episode's challenge is invited to sell their creation on Bravo's website. Last night a contestant named James Paul won the challenge to create a unique outfit based around one "must have" item. The item, for his team, was a navy bolero jacket and with it he designed a "Rubik's Cube" dress. The dress and jacket, sold for $199 and $99 respectively, are now available for purchase.

Neon is certainly popular these days but we love the watered down candy colors that have also cropped up this season. Investing in one of these tanks would mean a dozen new looks in your wardrobe. Our favorite? Pair one of these tanks with loose navy trousers and sandals for a fresh summer look.

Quote Of The Day: Derek Lam Opens Up Shop, Plans For The Future

One of the important things was to not just put in a white box.
by coutorture One of the important things was to not just put in a white box. Even though the majority is white, we were going for a cleanness and modern simplicity while still being able to tell that you are in New York and in SoHo because of the cast iron we preserved in the space. We didn’t just want to do a branded store, where if we also open a store in Paris and L.A. that they would all look the same. Of course we want it to have a Derek Lam signature to it, but it becomes boring when the stores look all the same — like duty-free.
