Making The Cut on Amazon Prime

 

If you have a Globe postpaid plan, you get the Amazon Prime Video for free for six months, or if you’re desperately hunting for a new Netflix show to watch, maybe it’s time to subscribe to Amazon Prime for the sole reason of Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn making a fashion reality show comeback with Making The Cut. The show almost has the same pattern as the duo’s old show, Project Runway. This time they’re turning it into a brand competition where the designers act as creative directors and are assigned a team of sewers to execute their garments. Seemingly Project Runway on steroids, the reality show has industry juggernauts, Joseph Altuzarra, Carine Roitfeld, Nicole Richie, and Naomi Campbell as their mainstay judges. Elimination of each episode is not limited to just one person, so the competition is pretty intense. Now, if it’s branding and creative direction you’re looking for, Making The Cut is for you.


The Business of Fashion Podcast

If your eyes are too tired looking at the screen, it’s time to make your ears do the work by listening to Business of Fashion’s weekly podcasts. The Business of Fashion has quickly gained a global following because of its hard-hitting articles and successfully combining commerce and creativity as both parts of the fashion world. Although their premium articles are pay-per-view, their podcasts come at no cost. With 177 episodes you can sift through conversations with Alok Vaid-Menon as he discusses the genderless world of clothes or listens to Dazed Media’s founder Jefferson Hack as he talks about fashion media’s role during a pandemic.
