Styled to Rock

Styled to Rock is in my opinion one of the best reality competition television series that has been put out in a long time. Although Rihanna's pushed to the front in this shows advertising, and she is the executive producer of the show, apart from introducing the contestants she really hasn't made an appearance in the episodes which is a factor I quite like not because I dislike her but because it really becomes about the clothes.

My show of choice used to be Americas next top model which i watched religiously for its creative photo-shoot concepts along with the beautiful hair and makeup, but along the line classic american reality show production worked its magic and the show suddenly became about the fights inside the house and silly hashtag-able words coined by Tyra Banks- for example 'booty tooch'.

So I gave up on ANTM, watched a couple 'Project Runway' episodes but never got into the programme. Styled to Rock came along and again I fell in Love.

The judges: 

Pharrell Williams: Artist, co-founder of the clothing brands Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream Clothing.
Erin Wasson: Model, actress and occasional stylist and designer.
Mel Ottenberg: Rihanna's personal stylist, responsible for some of her most iconic looks.

• The three judges as a collective give the show credibility because the critic they give is honest, sensible and you can tell they really do want the best for the contestants. The contestants I have to say do not seem to be bringing their A-game when it comes to designing, there always seems to be an obvious divid between good designs and terrible designs. My favourite designers are Sergio Hudson who has won twice, and Cecilia Aragon not for her designs but for her personal style.
