Season 2 Review
This season, a new batch of daring designers compete for the top prize of $200,000, along with the prestigious title and the opportunity to present their collections on Rent the Runway, a site where consumers can rent designer labels. Megan, Deontre, Courtney, Eliana, Godoy, Desyrée, Amari, Bao, Nigel, Kaisean, Osama and James are this season’s designers, and these contestants have approximately 11 hours.
Each episode features an additional celebrity guest judge from France, and Hadid also serves as host and judge. Donatella Versace, Bella Hadid and Emma Chamberlain are among the many celebrities seen this season.
After the runway, France, Hadid, and guest judges decide which designer has the best design and which designer is eliminated. Assignments include creative outfits for themes such as swimwear, flower-themed outfits, and royalty, among others. After we were down to three finalists, they were asked to put together an eight-piece runway show to win the title.
The series relies heavily on pop culture figures as well as clichés to increase its marketability and profitability, as each episode has a unique theme. Designers are required to design using the cultural components of today’s digital landscape. The show appears to be a great opportunity for underdog designers to advance in the market.
The show’s structure includes a rushed creative process to heighten the drama. Taking eight hours to create a style fit for a coronation and flaunting in front of Donna Versace is actually insane. With such a strict time limit, the competition becomes more about who can complete an outfit in eight hours than who can create the most beautiful outfit.
Each designer in the show has a distinct voice and way of making clothes, and there’s room for each of them to collaborate and work together in one space. They are judged on their technical ability rather than the sound they choose to showcase in front of the judging panel, which is great to see.
In addition to the creative entertainment provided by these designers, the hosts do a good job of keeping the show engaging and engaging. In addition, the referees’ comments are sound and encouraging, with some useful criticism at appropriate points. It was a brilliant move to include Gigi Hadid throughout the show so that non-fashionistas could enjoy it.
Reality TV can be gross and frustrating at times, and Next In Fashion is no exception. The drama here is at an all-time high, and given its purpose, the show should have focused on good design while ignoring emotionally wrenching theatrics. But considering it’s a reality show, it’s hard to blame them.
Next In Fashion presents a fun sequel that excels in advocating not only a revival of the show, but future seasons, preferably ones with a little more breathing space for the designers!
