In the second episode of Bravo's newest fashion creative competition series, "The Fashion Show," socialite Tinsley Mortimer joins Isaac Mizrahi, Kelly Rowland and Fern Mallis on the judges panel. For the Harper's Bazaar mini-challenge, the age old adage "one doesn't have to spend a lot of money to look good" is put to the test, as the remaining designers are challenged to style two dress forms, one for a "budget" look, and the other for a "bank" look. For the elimination challenge, the designers work in teams to create a variety of garments for one of Mortimer's upcoming events. Operating under a strict budget, the teams are responsible for designing a cohesive look � from head to toe � that corresponds with Mortimer's high society fashion needs. "The Fashion Show" airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT and the winning designs of each episode will be available for purchase on BravoTV.com.
