Here's everything you need to know about Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn's new fashion series MakingTheCut:
First and foremost: Gone is the sewing requirement that’s a mainstay of. “We wanted to make a show that is not necessarily anymore a sewing competition where you're just being judged on that one particular thing that you made that particular day,” Klum explains to ET. “We wanted to look at these individuals as creators and brands. Ultimately, a brand that can actually last and a brand that can then be potentially big on Amazon and enjoyed by many fans from around the world.
Of course, the extra help is a double-edged sword, with some designers finding it difficult to delegate or put together clear instructions for their seamstress. “It was such an incredible opportunity. And why would you not harness that opportunity? Why would you not use it? It was baffling to Heidi and me that some were just turning their backs on it,” Gunn says.
Now, any number of people can go during deliberation, which is more like an open forum with the judges essentially giving each hopeful a thumbs up or thumbs down. “You have to kind of be able to explain what you just made,” Klum says. “What we’re trying to achieve here is trying to find someone who understands their brand and who they are, and most importantly, who they’re designing for. And if they can't answer that, then they're not making the cut.
