Netflix's Next in Fashion might get a season two if the streaming service decides to take another chance on the British judges. Many viewers are optimistic that they will see the fabulous sewing studios once again, as well as new international teams that will join the fray and dive into the fabric room.
Next in Fashion has been one of Netflix's sleeper hits. It's a competitive sewing show where established designers complete challenges with infinite fabric choices and risk elimination from the competition. On this show, aggression and ambition don't denote who will win a challenge and who will go home. For example, Minju Kim is softspoken but tough as nails. The hosts, Tan France and Alexa Chung, are delightful when providing feedback and fashion tips for their viewers. Tan France hails from Queer Eye while Alexa Chung has written the It series (not to be confused with the Stephen King novel of the same name).
Even though Netflix canceled Next in Fashion after one season, fans have been posting their praise on social media. They want another round of 18 design teams that bring their individual styles to the forefront. According to Droid Journal, excitement from vocal fans might just encourage Netflix to undo their original decision and put together a second season of the show. If Netflix can guarantee that the second season will pull in a dedicated audience, Next in Fashion could appear in your Netflix queue once again.
Unlike Project Runway, Next in Fashion doesn't have to manufacture drama to reel in people. Any conflict on the series is organic, and designers are less likely to be divas when they fully understand the different rating system. The designers also have fewer limitations when finalizing their designs before the runway. Instead of driving to Mood to buy fabric on a budget and promote the store, designers on Next in Fashion stay right in the studio and use as much material as they would like. The judges reassure their designers during each episode that they can even design fabrics on the Epson printer if they wish, which some teams chose to do for the second challenge. On this show, there is little need to show off sponsored products. Instead, there's a larger focus on fabrics and fashion. This allows designers to incorporate their inspirations into their work, an important facet of fashionable clothing lines.
We certainly hope Next in Fashion sees a second season. We want the thrill of new designers strutting their stuff on the runway. What's more, we could all use more fashion tips from Tan France, the king of the french tuck.
Next in Fashion season one is available to stream on Netflix.
