Let the race begin... Or to quote from the tagline for Refinery29’s latest project, “Six designers. Six studios. One feverish race to fashion week”.

The six designers in question are Alexander Wang, Jeremy Laing, Vena Cava, Rag & Bone, Karen Walker and Ruffian. The series...named “The Countdown” (which, for those of you in the UK may have off-putting, Carol Vorderman connotations)...begins tomorrow and follows them as they prepare for New York fashion week… and culminates in a final wrap-up episode at the end of the week (fashion, not calendar).

As a huge Karen Walker fan…and, to a lesser extent, Alexander Wang and Vena Cava…this is just the soap opera I’ve been waiting for.
