New Bravo Reality Design Show: The Fashion Show Starring Kelly Rowland

Kelly’s recording career may be over, but the former Destiny’s Child has landed on her feet as a judge  and co-host of Bravo’s new Reality Program The Fashion Show:

She, along with Isaac Mizrahi and Fern Mallis of IMG will judge 15 competitors as they cut, sew, and backstab their way to a $125,000 prize and a chance to sell their clothes at retail stores.

Hmmm…sounds like a recast Project Runway. And the judges for Proj Run made sense. Heidi Klum: Fashion Model. Tim Gunn: Professor at Parsons. Nina Garcia: Elle (now Marie Claire) Magazine. Michael Kors: Iconic American Fashion Designer.

Isaac and Fern make sense but what in the world does Kelly have to do with fashion? She’s stylish enough, but hmm…will have to see about this one!

While I like the pin-stripe suit and the fact that the blazer button rule was adhered to, something about the fit of his suit and the shoes make me go hmm…  I think he could have been more dapper with minor adjustments.

What do you guys think?
