Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are back in the fashion game. Read the review of their new show MakingTheCut
” is comprised entirely of designers who have managed to gain a foothold in the fashion industry; these folks, seemingly cast for reasons other than TV drama, are more forcefully in competition with themselves than one another. They’re not tasked with sewing — we’re told that “in the real world,” designers don’t have to — and the challenges they face are vastly more grounded than “Runway’s” flights of whimsy, focused on generating garments that the public can actually buy.
In short, “Making the Cut” is a serious-minded and apparently earnest attempt to mint a genuine fashion-world superstar, a process that manages to leach much of the fun out of a formula that already has entertainment and education entwined in its DNA. “Project Runway’s” problem has never been that it isn’t instructive enough to an audience who’s likely learned a great deal about garment construction and the fashion market from it, and yet “Making the Cut” sets out to solve for that.
Which is putting the cart before the horse to such a great degree that conversations about who should stay or go on the show get muddled. In yet another pushback against what traditional reality shows look like, “Making the Cut” can eliminate as many contestants as the judges like each episode, and also allows those eliminated to plead their case to judges before they go.
There are pleasures to be had here: Naomi Campbell, one of said judges, is fascinatingly staging a meta-drama within the show about the indignity of not just getting to decide contestants’ fates unilaterally. And while I’ll admit to being somewhat immune to the stagey bits in which Gunn and Klum, together, explore Paris, they at least evince a sense that someone on the show is having a good time.
Moments like those are perhaps a sop to viewers at home, of whom much is expected. If “Project Runway” is a general-interest series, “Making the Cut” is deeply niche, concerned with pragmatic matters that are both deeply germane to the fashion business and — just maybe — beyond the scope of what a reality show might have needed to concern itself with. Klum and Gunn remain eager guides for a show whose ambition is laudable.
