![]() ![]() It’s all part of the real aim of “Making the Cut”: to not necessarily find the next great fashion designer or line, but the next great “global brand.” That spirit of global inclusion has powerful reach within smaller pockets of the show, which doesn’t make a big deal about its wide range of models (all sizes, all genders, all colors, though they remain predominantly young) or its even wider selection of contestants (again, all sizes, all genders, all colors, even a few older folks to really jazz it up). That’s right, once that winner is announced at the end of each new ep, interested shoppers can fire up their browsers and smartphones and apps and head on over to the “Making the Cut” store to pick up whatever just won top honors. That’s not all, however, because each individual competition’s winning look will also instantly be available for sale on the online shopping portal. ![]() The winner of “Making the Cut” will be lavished with prizes, including not just bragging rights, but also a cool million dollars, plus an all-new collection launching exclusively on Amazon. It’s an aces idea, one that seems to level the playing field while adding in all sorts of other potential dramas, like “what the hell will my garments look like when they come back from the seamstress?” and “does it actually matter that I can’t sew?” Surely “Making the Cut” had to layer on the rule changes to differentiate it from other shows of its ilk, but while the seamstress rule is perhaps the smallest, it’s also the one that offers real bang.Īnd then there’s that Amazon synergy. Some of them are technical, like that each episode doesn’t necessarily end with just one person going home or that the contenders can actually try to convince the judges they should still get to stay after an initial heave-ho.Īlso of note: all of the show’s contestants have established brands (next to the word “accessible,” there’s no term bandied about on the series as much as “brand”), and while they might not be name brands, these people have been working it for a long time (all of them have their own lines, most of them have shown at various fashion weeks, some of them have even dressed stars like Nicki Minaj and Billy Porter).įans of “Project Runway” will also spark to another technical twist: each contestant gets their own dedicated seamstress (not that we ever meet them), which allows them to focus on their designs over their craftsmanship. It’s easy to watch. Yes, there are some differences between “Making the Cut” and “Project Runway,” and the show is all to happy to remind viewers of them early and often. Not that “Making the Cut” isn’t enjoyable enough, if only because its rules and paces are readily digestible to an audience that’s long familiar with the formulas that drive the genre. ‘The Bear’ Season 2: Let’s Talk About That Ending, Carmy’s Arc, and Providing Joy - Spoilers ![]()
