About Me
- Erica B.
- Welcome to my DIY Style blog! How many times have you seen clothes in an upscale department store or a posh boutique and cringed at the sight of the price tag? I've done it many times and have said to myself, "I could make that"! While reading my fashion sewing blog, you'll share with me in my adventures in taking "boring" patterns from drab to fab by creating "inspired" looks pulled straight from those boutiques, the runway and fashion magazines. Also my adventure in learning to tailor and couture sewing techniques.

It's the X-factor for clothes! Advertisers pay to sponsor the show, and the show advertises that clothes that are for sale. Revenue streams from every direction.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up Erica,I would have missed this for sure.
ReplyDeleteI can really respect the fact that their core focus is "real clothes for real people". I want to see things that are "bra-friendly" that look great on women with breasts.
ReplyDeleteIt's already on my DVR schedule. I'm thrilled that this series is going to focus on clothes that would sell in stores. I may not be their target customer...ok, I AM not their target customer but I still enjoy seeing new wearable fashion trends.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me...I'd forgotten that it was coming on tonight and I at least want to see the first episode!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. This is just what I've been looking for. Keep up the great work Erica B! Be on the look out for my DIY fashion blog.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't miss it as I'm a fashion junky.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I would have missed this!!! Thank you so much for the heads up and yes, I'm excited too!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I'll be tuned in. My Mom and I were just talking about this yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes I will be watching! I tape it the night of the show and watch it while I am on the treadmill in the AM!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to getting some inspiration!
I am watching it now and i agree that its real clothes for real people
ReplyDeleteMy new favorite TV Show!
ReplyDeleteDarn I missed it! I'll try to look for it on my computer ad watch it this weekend. I'm looking forward to Project Runway Allstars tomorrow night though!
ReplyDeleteI didn't like this show much. Didn't know what to expect, but didn't really hold my attention. I like the Project Runway & 24 Hr Catwalk format much better.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love your blog!
Aye yi yi this show! Not sure how I feel out it yet. The premise feels overly complex (sort of American Idol, Shark Tank and Project Runway all rolled into one.) Loved the buyers though; gimlet-eyed, tough as nails – this is where the power really resides in the fashion industry. I did laugh out loud when the designers would listen carefully only to the mentors and then talk smack to the buyers, who have THE MONEY. Wake up people. I’ll tune in again for sure although the show I really like is “24 Hour Catwalk” because there are professional sewers in that show.
ReplyDeleteErica, I am a newbie to your blog and LOVE it! I missed Fashion Star, but I saw something pretty awesome last night. Patterns from the show's designers will be available @ McCalls online starting 4/1/12. http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/fashion-star-pages-3382.php
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jazzily for that link! I hadn't heard about this. I can't wait to see what they look like!
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching for sure.
