Watch Next in Fashion

Next in Fashion is a reality competition series on Netflix that focuses on fashion designers vying for a grand prize of $250,000 and a chance to debut their collection with luxury fashion retailer, Net-a-Porter. The show is hosted by fashion icons Tan France and Alexa Chung, and features a panel of expert judges from the fashion industry, including stylist Elizabeth Stewart, celebrity fashion designer, Monique Lhuillier and fashion director of British Vogue, Vanessa Kingori.

The show starts with eighteen designers from all over the world, who are assigned a different challenge each episode. The contestants are already accomplished in their respective careers, but they have to prove their versatility and creativity through their designs in order to move forward in the competition. The first challenge is a signature look that represents the designer's aesthetic and design philosophy, and from there on, each episode gets more challenging as the designers have to create clothes for different occasions and customers.

The designers are given a short amount of time to conceptualize and create their pieces, which usually leads to some drama and tension as they race against the clock to finish their designs. The contestants are often put to the test to see how well they can think on their feet and pivot their designs when things don't go according to plan. They are also challenged to create designs for diverse body types and ages, which reflects the show's emphasis on inclusivity and diversity in fashion.

As the show progresses, the designers face elimination, which is decided by the judges' scores and critiques. The contestants who fail to impress the judges sadly have to pack up their sewing machines and leave the competition. But the show also features some emotional moments of support and camaraderie between the designers as they form bonds and friendships throughout the show.

The show's production value is top-notch, with stunning visuals of the contestants working in their studio, expertly filmed runway scenes, and backstage moments with the panel of judges. The show also highlights some major fashion icons and guest judges including Tommy Hilfiger, Prabal Gurung, and Kerby Jean-Raymond, to name a few.

The show's fashion-forward and fun approach to fashion design makes it an entertaining and informative watch for fashion enthusiasts and beginners alike. Tan and Alexa's banter and infectious charisma keep the show light and engaging, while the expert judges provide valuable insight into the fashion industry and what it takes to make it as a fashion designer.

Overall, Next in Fashion is a must-watch for any fashion lover, designer, aspiring designer or anyone who simply appreciates the artistry of fashion design. With its focus on inclusivity, diversity, and innovation in fashion, the show is a refreshing take on the reality competition genre and a great addition to Netflix's lineup of original programming.
