Vintage accessories showcased on Bravo\'s The Fashion Show

I'm always up for a fashion design show, and have been watching the second season of The Fashion Show - changing out Kelly Rowland for Iman and toning down Isaac Mizrahi has helped a lot, although it still doesn't reach the bar set by Project Runway in its first few seasons.

Anyway, last night's episode started out at New York Vintage, a very high end vintage shop in Manhattan. Each of the 5 designers was given two vintage accessories from the shop and told to design a look featuring each one. Items ranged from a victorian cage bustle to a Judith Lieber pink pig purse, a Dior feathered capelet, a pair of black & white lantern-cuffed gloves that I could swear one or more of our VFG members have sold within the last few years.

Link to Bravo website in case you want to check out some photos. I couldn't find any close-up pics of the individual accessories.

That episode sounds pretty decent, Maggie. I'll check it out. I had given up on the show, and I actually liked Kelly Rowland, rather than Iman, who scares me.

I saw it last night. The shows is not as good as project runway and Iman scares me a bit.

If I were the one giving out the accessories I would have given them some more challenging accessories.... I would have taken them to a thrift shop. Now that would have been fun.

I think Iman scares Isaac a little too, which is kind of fun to watch! She has taken over the heavier more critical role - it suits her. Isaac was quite unlikeable last season, I thought. Now he's more of a mentor - he meets with the designers to give feedback on their mood board and sketches before they shop for fabric. He's good in his new role.
