Bravo's hit series "Top Design" is back with a new season, a new look in high-definition, new producers and a new host. Celebrated fashion model and design aficionado, India Hicks, will host the interior design competition series, and world-renowned designer Todd Oldham returns as the contestants' mentor. Jonathan Adler will reprise his role as head judge, along with Margaret Russell, Editor in Chief of Elle Decor magazine, and interior designer Kelly Wearstler as series judges. "Top Design," produced by the Emmy-nominated Magical Elves ("Project Runway," "Top Chef"), is currently in production and is set to air on Bravo in third quarter 2008. The second season of "Top Design" will follow professional designers as they live together in a decked-out loft and compete to create the "Top Design" and a chance to win a $100,000 cash prize. The stakes are high and eccentric personalities and creative egos combine to fuel the competition, all while the contestants are being critiqued by some of the most influential designers in the industry. "Top Design" was Bravo's highest-rated series premiere ever, averaging 1,387,000 adults 18-49 and 1,859,000 total viewers, and the first season averaged 1,152,000 total viewers. |
