Fashion reality TV shows put new talent in the spotlight, but not exactly the kind of talent everyone is used to seeing on screen or on stage. In some cases, the series will focus on the creative talent behind the scenes. In others, the show can also be a competition where the winner gets a career jumpstart; the challenges may vary, but they usually involve fashion in some way or another.
