Episode synopsis
For the Harper’s Bazaar mini-challenge, the age old adage “one doesn’t have to spend a lot of money to look good” is put to the test, as the remaining designers are challenged to style two dress forms, one for a “budget” look, and the other for a “bank” look. For the elimination challenge, the designers work in teams to create a variety of garments for socialite Tinsley Mortimer’s upcoming events. Operating under a strict budget, the teams are responsible for designing a cohesive look – from head to toe – that corresponds with Mortimer’s high society fashion needs.
About The Fashion Show
The Fashion Show: Ultimate Collection is an American reality television series on the Bravo network which focused on fashion design and featured as hosts fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi and supermodel Iman. The contestants competed against each other to create the best clothes and are usually restricted in time, materials, and theme, with the resulting designs judged and one or more designers eliminated each week. The show was originally co-hosted by singer Kelly Rowland, however, she was replaced by Iman in Season 2. It replaced Bravo's first fashion-competition TV show Project Runway, following its move, accompanied by no small amount of controversy, to Lifetime. Internationally the show was broadcast on Dutch television RTL 5 and will be broadcast on British Pay-TV channel Really. Bravo made no move to renew the show after the second season ended 25 January 2011.
