Major Bite: “Stylista” + CW’s New Fashion Reality Show..

“STYLISTA” COMING TO THE CW FALL 2008.

The project, described as a reality version of “The Devil Wears Prada,” features eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts who are vying for a much-coveted editorial job with Elle magazine. The project, which appears Wednesday-bound as a companion piece to Banks and Mok’s “America’s Next Top Model,” was originally greenlighted in January. The contestants will work as assistants to Elle’s fashion news director, Anne Slowey, carrying out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode. Like on “The Apprentice,” each week, in consultation with Elle’s creative director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets “promoted” to the real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on an apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000. “Stylista” hails from 10 by 10 Entertainment and Bankable in association with Magic Molehill Prods. and Warner Horizon TV. Tyra Banks, Ken Mok, Eli Holzman, Desiree Gruber and Jane Cha are the exec producers.

WATCH A CLIP OF THE SHOW.

Anne’s no Miranda, but she’s the knockoff version. A little is better than nothing, I guess. This show looks hilarious already from the clip. Making her breakfast though? A tad extreme. I see a lot of carbs on those plates..and you know us fashion people just say NO MA’AM to carbs. lol. And I’m also going to need Anne to look like she knows how to walk in heels. Stat.
