FYI, it wasn't a difficult decision for them to do the show nextinfashion
When Neflix announced that it was set to launch a new fashion competition show to find the next best designer, co-hosted by Tan France and Alexa Chung, it didn’t come as much of a surprise. The linking up of Queer Eye‘s resident fashion expert and the OG it-girl is kind of a match made in fashion heaven . But what was super surprising was just how diverse the show—aptly titled Next in Fashion—was from the first few moments of the first episode.
“I’m now in my mid-30s, and I don’t say yes to anything that I don’t think is fun anymore,” Chung reveals. Because of her work with her fashion line, ALEXACHUNG, “everything else beyond that really has to be something that I’m very passionate about for me to say I’ll get on board.” And in this case, that passion came in the form of fan fave France. “This project arose shortly after I’d met Tan at a party, and I loved him,” she says. Plus, “It’s Netflix of ‘Netflix and Chill’ fame,” she jokes.
And with all of the diverse designer pairings, such as iconic collaborators Angel Chen and Minju Kim , “I really hope that the kindness comes through and the idea that when you’re collaborating in whatever job you happen to be doing, trying to find commonality and the best in your partner or coworker will give you a way better result than if you have resistance or infighting,” says Chung.
“But,” she continues, “there’s obviously a long way to go in terms of making sure that everyone and every kind of human is represented.” Which, to be fair, is something the show itself had to grapple with during its streetwear episode, when guest judge Kerby Jean-Raymond of Pyer Moss walked out during the elimination, uneasy with sending home streetwear designers Kiki Kitty and Farai Simoyi.
