Well, HGTV did it last year with Design Star and now this year BRAVO is following the trend. Tonight, Top Design, will air its first episode. Seems to be that people are finding Interior Design exciting these days....hmmmm....
I saw yesterday on the Today Show an interview with designer Todd Oldham who will host the show, along with one of my most favorite designers, Jonathan Adler, who will be the lead judge. According to them the show sounds as though it will not only offer great design solutions but some great drama as well... What appeals to me most is that they chose the top designers from all over the United States but didn't appear to limit it to the stereotypical designer. The contestants are artists, contractors, even one gentleman who doesn't have a diploma but has a very successful, self-taught consulting business. I love this because this is the real deal. In design you can learn so much...truth is, you either have it or you don't. I'm very excited to see how the show unfolds...who knows, I may want to send an audition tape in next year... http://www.bravotv.com
