Dubai Channels Network (DCN), a division of Dubai Media Inc., will launch whats being said to be the Arab worlds first fashion reality show. Titled Fashion Star, the show will feature acclaimed Arab designers Reem Acra, Hanna bin Abdel-Salam, Ramzi Tabiaat and TV presenter Leila bin Khalifa. It is scheduled to air on Dubai One channel at 10pm starting February 3.
Initiated by DCN, the show revolves around 12 fashion designers who will compete for a grand prize of $136,130 and an opportunity to showcase their collection on Namshi.com, the online Dubai-based clothing store. Fashion model and Tunisian actress Leila bin Khalifa will be the lead presenter of the show. It will be Khalifas first appearance as a reality TV host in Arabic.
Commenting on the new show, Sarah Jarman, Director of Dubai One channel, said: This is a first-of-its-kind opportunity for young designers from various Arab countries to receive advice and guidance from international designer Reem Acra, alongside an outstanding team of designers including Hana Bin Abdul Salam, a globally recognised Tunisian designer and Lancôme Ambassador, as well as Ramzi Tabiaat, Creative Director of Al Oustoura in Kuwait, and a wide spectrum of fashion experts as guests on each episode.
Designer Reem Acra, added: “I hope the show receives public attention and that our young contestants grow a wide fan-base. Based on the new ideas and contemporary designs the programme has to offer, as well as the submissions of our ambitious designers, I am optimistic that the show has great things in store.
