VH1 IS TEAMING UP WITH VIVICA A. FOX TO SEARCH FOR THE NEXT GREAT
CELEBRITY STYLIST IN NEW SERIES "GLAM GOD WITH VIVICA A. FOX"
The Eight Episode Series Searches for the Stylist With the Triple
Threat Who Can Create the Perfect Look Through Hair, Make-up and Wardrobe
"Glam God With Vivica A. Fox" is Slated to Premiere in Summer
2008
SANTA MONICA, CA - March 19, 2008 - Vivica A. Fox, actress, producer
and fashion luminary, is bringing her celebrity style to VH1 for a new
competition show ripped from the pages of the fashion magazines. The new
series, "Glam God With Vivica A. Fox" slated to premiere in this
summer, searches for the next great celebrity stylist who has what it
takes to become the stylist to the stars through their ability to create a
chic masterpiece using the three key elements of fashion - hair, make-up
and wardrobe.
Each week the "stylista" contestants will be asked to compete
in various challenges that will test their knowledge of fashion and style
trends as they create the perfect look from head to toe. The stylists must
be well versed in all areas of fashion and beauty as they bring their
vision to life through hair, make-up and wardrobe. Those that fall short
of creating that perfect look will have their style license revoked and
will be sent packing. The one stylist that manages to rise above the rest
will be given the ultimate reward -- the chance to launch a career by
styling an A-list celebrity and being awarded $100,000.
Throughout each episode viewers will also learn the secret tips of
looking fabulous on the red carpet.
"Vivica is a movie star and a fashion icon who knows how to step
onto the red carpet and nail it every single time," said Jeff Olde,
Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production, VH1.
"Her instincts are impeccable and she knows how critical it is to
have a 'glam god' she can trust to create a star-making killer look. We
are thrilled that we have her vision and insights to drive this
show."
Celebrity stylists can become superstars in their own right. Their
fashion choices can catapult their celebrity clients onto the A-list while
just one fashion disaster can take them to the D-list. VH1 is looking to
discover the next Rachel Zoe, Phillip Bloch, or Robert Verdi - celebrity
stylists that broker deals between the designers and their clients -
ultimately convincing designers to make items especially for their
celebrity clientele. "Glam God With Vivica A. Fox" is about
discovering the next great stylist who can create their own brand and
their own distinct 'look,' making them the 'it' stylist on every
celebrity's speed dial.
VH1's "Glam God With Vivica A. Fox" is created and executive
produced by Cris Abrego for 51 Pictures, who also produced the
record-breaking "Rock of Love," "Flavor of Love,"
"I Love New York" and "Gotti's Way." Ben Samek also
executive produces for the company. Vivica A. Fox and Lita Richardson
serve as executive producers. Jeff Olde, Jill Holmes, and Kristen Kelly
oversee the series for VH1.
