The Fashion Show Season 2:
DESPERATELY SEEKING DESIGNERS!
BRAVO COMPETITION SHOW SEEKS TALENTED FASHION DESIGNERS TO PARTICIPATE IN “THE FASHION SHOW” SEASON TWO
Are you a budding designer with a passion for fashion? Do you know how to conceive, sketch, cut, sew, drape, and design garments from scratch? Is it your dream to “make it big” in the fashion business?
Bravo and the production company Left/Right, Inc. are conducting a nationwide search for a select group of fashion designers who will compete head to head in the ultimate fashion competition series. Hosted by Isaac Mizrahi, The Fashion Show will give designers a once in a lifetime opportunity to have their work seen by icons of the fashion industry…and viewers around the world!
In order to apply for the show, you must be 21 years of age or older as of June 1, 2010. You can be a fashion school grad or you can be self-taught; you can specialize in haute couture or street wear. What matters most is that you have a creative vision for your designs and the technical skills (sewing, sketching, etc.) to back up that vision. The winner of the competition will receive a cash prize.
Casting begins on April 8th, 2010. There are two ways to apply:
