Critic Reviews

David Hinckley

As viewers, we're less interested in the destination than the ride, and this one starts out feeling like fun. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Project Runway is a hard act to follow. Still, if you like watching people make (sometimes) beautiful clothes from nothing in no time--the first challenge is to make a little black dress from a little black T-shirt--The Fashion Show has that too. Read full review

Joanna Weiss

In order to fully enjoy The Fashion Show--and there is plenty to enjoy in Bravo's new reality contest--you have to resist the urge to keep comparing it to "Project Runway." Read full review

When the designers are alone in the sewing room, trading catty insults, hemming until their fingers bleed, Fashion Show feels like great guilty pleasure TV. But when the sewing-room door opens, you can't help expecting--and wishing--that it'll be Tim Gunn. Read full review

Leah Greenblatt

Though PR has auf'ed off to Lifetime, its chic shadow looms large on Fashion--which, like its name, has a sad, generic chintziness. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

There is plenty to enjoy, but not much to applaud. At its best fashion celebrates originality; The Fashion Show feeds on imitation. Read full review

Brian Lowry

There's just not that same level of drama when designing a standard blue blazer. Read full review

Kelly Roland is so fabulous. She makes it more enjoyable than project runway.
