I've watched the first few episodes of this and honestly... it's not great. The designs have been meh, the runway presentations have been confusing and the contestants seem more interested in petty drama than actually producing good work.
This is all unfortunate because the overall concept of the show isn't bad. Focusing on stage presentations for music artists is a strong idea for a fashion design show. But the execution has been rough.
For the JoJo Siwa episode, it was so confusing whether they were designing for her or one of her back up dancers - especially since they were assigned a mix of male and female models. None of the designs looked like they were actually for JoJo and the winning design had exposed nipples. Even though JoJo is trying to change her image, I still can't see her wearing a shirt with an exposed chest like the winning design. And the bottom design was criticized for having too many elements... uh, have you seen what JoJo has been wearing lately? The bottom design wasn't well-executed but it was probably more on brand than the rest of the designs.
One beacon of light is that the show has gotten marginally better with each progressive episode. The designs for Toni Braxton actually looked like they were trying to design for her. But even here the runway presentation did little favors to the designers. I wish sometimes they would do a "normal" runway so that you could actually see the designs.
I may or may not keep watching this show. Depends on if there is something better on.
