Synopsis

According to the blurb, "Project Catwalk is a hip and entertaining series that will break fashion's next big name." Or a late, shameless and unimaginative version of Fashion Idol. We leave the opinion to the reader.

It continues: "The show gives twelve talented and hungry fashion designers" (well give them some lunch!) "the opportunity of a lifetime - a chance to have their collection shown at London Fashion Week. In addition one winner will be given a cash prize courtesy of £20,000 courtesy of Tecni.art styling products" (presumably they saved money on a proofreader) "a mentorship with the Top Shop design team" (Top Shop = haute couture, natch) "and a spread in Elle Magazine." (possibly Utterly Butterly).

And guess what? "At the end of each challenge a designer was eliminated" (lawks) "ultimately leaving three to show at London Fashion Week. Of those three, one will win the top prize and claim their place in fashion's spotlight."

If any of these twelve sell so much as a strappy top in New Look, we'd be most surprised. But there's more! Yes, the models get voted off too, and the winner gets to "grace the pages" of Elle magazine.
