Calling all fashionistas! Model, presenter and fashion’s OG it-girl, Alexa Chung, is set to make a return to presenting alongside Queer Eye’s resident stylist Tan France for the ultimate fashion competition and it’s landing on Netflix today.
Next in Fashion will see 18 budding fashion designers compete for a $250,000 prize and the opportunity to launch a clothing line with Net-a-Porter. The 10-part series will see Tan and Alexa guide the ambitious contestants through a series of challenges “centreing on a different trend or design style that has influenced the way the entire world dresses.”
To discover the next generation’s hottest new talent, a judging panel consisting of fashion’s biggest names has been assembled including Eva Chen, Monique Lhuillier, Elizabeth von der Goltz, Adriana Lima, Beth Ditto and Tommy Hilfiger – and not least, Alexa and Tan who are famed for bringing Mary Janes and the ‘French Tuck’ into fashion.
The series has gathered talent from all over the world including designers from LA, China, Mexico, Britain, Scotland and Italy.
Last week, Netflix released the series official trailer and we are living for Alexa and Tan’s stylish new partnership.
Alexa rose to fame as a model in the 90s but quickly established herself as a budding presenter before setting up her fashion label, Alexachung. Tan previously ran his own womenswear line Kingdom & State before finding fame as one fifth of Queer Eye’s ‘Fab Five’.
Tan took to Instagram to celebrate the show’s trailer release. “Out here with work wife, waiting for the @nextinfashion trailer to drop TOMORROW!! Watch this space!” he captioned the image of the pair posing together. Meanwhile, Alexa shared an equally stylish snap with the caption: “Coming in hot.”
Project Runway, step aside.
Next in Fashion will debut on Netflix on Wednesday 29th January 2020.
