Fun
Next in Fashion
Dear Kay,
Here’s a fashion design competition series that has me RIVETED.
Next in Fashion. From Netflix.
Yes, Bravo’s Project Runway continues in its eighteenth season. But there’s always room for a show that gives us us a room full of people who are wildly creative and fast with a serger.
I love it. I love that it’s fast paced. I love that the 18 designers are from all over the world, from a wide range of backgrounds. I love that there are best friends working together.
I love watching talented people working under tight constraints to create surprising and inventive designs. The challenges are tough, the timelines impossible, and there’s the eternal prospect of the hosts Tan France and Alexa Chung stopping by to chat you up about the five-color leather pants you’re supposed to finish in 12 minutes.
The thing I love most about Next in Fashion is the window it provides into the deep love these people have for the work they do. They are not novices—many have their own brands and have worked decades in the fashion world. They have all sacrificed something to be on this show, and they’re all hoping for a way to do the thing they love. The prize, $250,000, would be a game changer for them all.
Who’s going to win? I’ve already cried three times with these folks, and I’ve got episodes to go.
Love,
Ann
It is SOOOOOO good!
Wish you would find fashion for us that don’t have Netflix. Maybe UTube?
100%. Love the fact the design challenges are for both men and women. Incredibly talented designers!!
Thanks for this recommendation! I’ve been watching baking show competitions while I knit, and this is similar but different. I know shows like this have tight deadlines, but this is ridiculous! I do not know how they finish anything!
I began watching this week as soon as I saw it „highlighted“ at the top of my Netflix screen…HAD to binge and got it done in 2 days….now I`m sad it`s over and there aren`t more episodes – it was excellent and nice how all the designer rooted for each other to do good/win!
I’m such a Project Runway freak that I’m currently going back and watching Cristian Siriano’s season (Season 8)! I’ve been lurking about Next in Fashion, and this does it–It’s going into my queue!
It is great fun!
This was a perfect recommendation for a lying around trying to get over that bad cold kind of day. I needed a show I WASN’T watching with my husband. Finished a sweater and 4 episodes today. Thank you! Now if I’m up to going back to life on Monday, all will be golden!
Ok. I gave in and watched 3 episodes! Love watching teams interact. Wish there was more of this. Fashion is FUN.
Thank u I am really enjoying this show. I passed it @ 1st even though I like Tan France since most competition shows have way to much snarking & back stabbing. This one does not
Loved. Loved.loved!
