Who is the next big fashion designer? This British reality show sets out to find the right person. Hosted by Tan France and Alexa Chung who lead the designers through the process. This process is much different than Project Runway because everything is contained, which means that everything they need is in the space. But this might have been due to the pandemic.
This Netflix show is fun because you get to see a different caliber of designer. You should try it.

I am most grateful for those amazing writers and artists that have share their words with the world over the past couple of centuries. Even though they have not been lauded, people of color have been telling their truths for as long as we have been in the world. These truths are powerful, encouraging, and enlightening.

Episode True Crime
Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Lawrence grew up in Harlem during the Depression. Harlem was an active cultural center then, and Lawrence became interested in the arts while still a teenager. He received early training at art workshops sponsored by the federal government’s Works Progress Administration (WPA) in Harlem and then studied at the American Artists School in New York. From 1938 to 1939, Lawrence worked in the Federal Arts Project and produced some of his earliest major works. His first important solo exhibition in 1944, at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, secured his place as an important commentator on the American scene, particularly African American experiences. Lawrence died on 9 June 2000.

Make up artist are given challenges that are pretty mind stretching. Although the judges are annoying. I found it very interesting so check it out.
