I (DIS)Heart: The Fashion Show



Now I'm not the one to be a Negative Nancy but I really dislike this show. I did give it a chance and every time it comes on I watch it, but it just doesn't do it for me. I think that the first, and probably most distressing, problem with the show is the cast. For one, they are extremely boring and two, I don't see much talent. I mean you have Merlin and Reco, who are indeed characters, but not so much where I really want to tune in to see their antics, much less their designs or any of the casts' designs (though Reco's snowsuit was SICK!!). Some admittedly can't sew, one stole a design, I mean if this is their attempt to create a little drama for the show, they failed miserably.

The next problem that I have with the show is Kelly Rowland. Just because you went to a few fashion shows does not mean that you have the insight to be able to sit side by side with Isaac Mizrahi and Fern Mallis. Please. Bravo you could have done better with that one.

My last problem with the show is the production. I do not like the format of the show. The teams, the fashion show at the end of the challenge, the 'fashion people' in the audience; it's all very corny. I'm thinking that they tried to not become a Project Runway copycat, which I respect, but the execution is all wrong. Much like that safety pinned mess that was sent down the runway by one of the designers.

Am I the only one who dislikes this show? Is it just a Project Runway bias? Who knows. But I'll tune in again.....

I watched Kelly Rowland today on the Today Show and I wondered how did she get that hosting job. she explained that she has worn many fashions and fabrics and she's brought lots of clothes so she says her opinion is from a consumer's point of view not a fashion expert. That cleared up my question about why she got the job. I guess I can give it one more shot. LOL

Ok well that makes sense. Thanks for sharing this info because I would still look at her on the show and think, "What is your purpose"?
