Stylista
WEDNESDAY 9:00-10:00 P.M.
"If "The Devil Wears Prada" were a reality show, it would be STYLISTA. Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with Elle magazine. They work as assistants to Elle's Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a demanding but well-respected fashion icon. The competitors will carry out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode. Each week, in consultation with Elle's Creative Director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets "promoted" to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000. STYLISTA is from 10 by 10 Entertainment, Inc. and Bankable Incorporated in association with Magic Molehill Productions, Inc. and Warner Horizon Television Inc. with executive producers Tyra Banks, Ken Mok, Eli Holzman, Desiree Gruber and Jane Cha."
Yes, that really is Anne Slowey airbrushed to within an inch of her life in that promo pic. Judging by the clips from the show, she...uh, changed her look a bit since her early days of tooty and hairballs on Project Runway:
Now, we'll grant you, this doesn't look like it's ever going to replace Project Runway in our hearts as THE fashion reality show, but there's a thrilling sort of trainwreck vibe we get off of these clips as Anne tries desperately to channel Meryl Streep and scare the shit out of her new
"Time's up. Trays down. Anne's here." How can you not love that a little bit?
