![]() ![]() “We’re really talking about, ‘How does this design work into the larger rubric of the vision you have for your brand?’ And I loved the breadth of what that question poses on the contestants because they really have to soul search to be able to sell themselves and to sell these looks - one higher end and one accessible - and rationalize why.” Amazon Prime “I have what I call a very Socratic approach, which is to pummel people with questions,” he says, adding that they’re not talking about whether a hem is crooked. Gunn still makes the rounds in the workroom, which are now called “Tim Talks.” This time, however, he’s not so much a mentor as he is a sounding board. Luckily, not everything was tossed out when the pair came up with the new series. 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. 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. “There's people, you know, me included, I've designed for many brands before and I don't know how to sell at all.” “Not every designer sits there with their sewing machine and does all the prototypes themselves,” she explains. In order to achieve that, the designers are assigned seamstresses who help execute their looks, which Klum says is a result of taking on a more real world approach to the series. 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.” “We wanted to look at these individuals as creators and brands. “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. But what sets the show apart from other competition series - Project Runway and Next in Fashion - is a fresh take on the format itself.įirst and foremost: Gone is the sewing requirement that’s a mainstay of Project Runway. Each episode, they are challenged with making a fantasy look paired with a more approachable version, which can be mass produced and sold online as the show moves from Paris to Tokyo to New York City. Two years later, the Emmy-winning duo are back with Making the Cut, a global, shoppable series that sees 12 international contestants competing for a $1 million grand prize while earning the opportunity to sell their winning looks on Amazon each week. “We want this to blow everybody away and say, ‘I can’t believe the show even exists. “If we really look at this unencumbered, what can that really be?” Gunn told ET in 2018, after their partnership with the streaming platform was first announced.
