The Fashion Show: Ultimate Collection (originally styled as The Fashion Show) is an American reality television series that premiered on May 7, 2009, on the Bravo cable network. The show focuses on fashion design and features hosts fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi and supermodel Iman. The contestants compete against each other to create the best clothes. They are restricted in time, materials, and theme; the resulting designs are judged and one or more designers is eliminated each week. The show was originally co-hosted by singer Kelly Rowland; she was replaced by Iman in Season 2.
It replaced Bravo's first fashion-competition TV show Project Runway, following its move to Lifetime. Internationally the show was broadcast on Dutch television RTL 5 and was broadcast on British Pay-TV channel Really. Bravo made no move to renew the show after the second season ended on 25 January 2011.
Format
Season 1
Season 1 features Kelly Rowland and Isaac Mizrahi as hosts. The hosts are also judges and are joined by Fern Mallis and Laura Brown in the judging panel.
Fifteen designers compete to win $125,000 and have their fashions sold in retail. America chose the winner as these designers were presented with challenges that tested their skill.
Season 2
New host Iman (who had previously hosted the Canadian edition of Project Runway), returning host Isaac Mizrahi (who would go on to judge Project Runways All-Star season), and returning judge Laura Brown of Harper's Bazaar gathered together as the second season introduced a new format. The contestants are split up into two fashion "houses". Each fashion house is expected to assemble a cohesive fashion show for each episode, from the ground up, including everything from the lighting, music, the set, and the fashions.
Simply called The Fashion Show during the show's first season, the second season's restyled title is The Fashion Show: Ultimate Collection.
Season 2 premiered on November 9 at 10:00 pm/9:00 pm central, and features 12 designers competing to create the ultimate collection and for the chance to win $125,000 provided by TRESemme Professional Hair Care.
