How does Making The Cut work?
The format should be fairly familiar to fans of Project Runway. The competition will see 12 fashion designers trying to impress the judges with two outfit designs each week: one fashion-forward runway look, and one more wearable look – the winning outfit to be available to buy on Amazon straight after the show.
"I'm really trying to straddle the artistry of fashion design and the commerce part of it," Klum previously THR about the show. “When you see a design that you actually love, you can buy it. It's not only great for the consumer, but it's also amazing for our designers.”
What does the winner of Making The Cut get?
A $1 million cash prize, plus the opportunity to create an exclusive line for Amazon Fashion.
