TAN FRANCE & ALEXA CHUNG.
Workroom challenges don’t get much bigger than this. Netflix’s new series, Next In Fashion, sees 18 talented designers compete across 10 episodes for a prize of $250,000 as well as the opportunity to sell their own collection on global retailer Net-a-Porter.
Naturally, it’s packed full of drama, but this is a reality show full of love and respect. With designers from all over the world – from the US and the UK to Italy and South Korea – the show thrives with its diverse and inclusive cast. It also gives viewers an insight into the creative process, emotional storytelling, and undeniable craftsmanship, showcasing a depth to the fashion industry rarely seen on mainstream shows.
The series is fronted by Queer Eye’s Tan France and model and designer Alexa Chung who add plenty of humour, lightness and support amongst the high-stakes drama. We caught up with them to discuss what sets Next In Fashion apart from other shows based around fashion, why they don’t believe in trends, and how filming this show was more difficult than they first anticipated.
Congratulations on the show. What would say sets Next
