Only some of these shows make it work

Groundwork laid by "House of Style" in the
'80s led to today's many fashion-focused (and supermodel-hosted) series.
The latest out of the chute is NBC's "Fashion Star,"
premiering March 13 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT, ... morehosted by Elle Macpherson, which riffs on
"Project Runway" by adding a few twists and several million dollars to its
production budget. A cast of 14 up-and-coming designers will be mentored by Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos. They
will compete over the rights to sell that week's designs, with the winning
garments sold immediately at the winning retail chain. NBC was able to get a
major hit out of "The Voice" by riffing on the format of "American Idol," so
perhaps the network will score another success with "Fashion
Star."
