(預告video要美國境內才能看...sigh)

這是繼 The Fashion Show後
Bravo在九月推出的新時裝設計節目 "Launch My Line" (PR出走後打對台打得真兇!)
大意是要找十名"專業人士"(professionals)搭配十名"行家"(experts)
前者不是設計師　而是來自各領域的建築師、時尚評論家、總裁、DJ...etc.
但長期對時尚一直有自己的概念、想發行自己的品牌
而後者則是來自業界的專業時尚設計師!


兩方組成十個小隊　
贏得大獎的professional可以發行自己的時裝系列
而一路協助的設計師則可以贏得50000美元獎金
乍聽下感覺作品會比PR精采很多　不會有莫名其妙的業餘雜魚混入
但是也代表每集都是team challenge......團隊間衝突的drama應該很多
兩方創意人的歧見也可能拖累作品素質

評審名單也很精采, Dsqaured2的 Dean & Dan 兄弟檔!!
而另外兩位Stefani Greenfield、Lisa Kline也都是設計師的樣子......
