Every great success leads to many, many imitations, so Project Runway better prepare for the onslaught. MTV is looking for the “next big fashion designer,” but they aren’t as picky as the Bravo Channel favorite, they are looking for high school and college-aged designers and the advertisement makes it seem like they are more interested in controversy than overt talent. Only the truly egomaniacal should apply.

ARE YOU THE NEXT BIG FASHION DESIGNER? LET MTV DO A SHOW ON YOU AND YOUR SCHOOL!!! Are you a high school or college fashion designer who is gearing up for your big debut or show? Do you attend a specialized fashion high school or college where you currently design clothes and dream of making it big once you graduate? While others are trying out for cheerleading and football, do you dream of having your clothes in Vogue? MTV’s newest show FASHION HIGH wants to hear from you. They are looking for fabulous, creative and dynamic high school or college students who are currently studying fashion and are gearing up to show their designs at their school fashion show. You should APPEAR TO be at least 15 years old, have a HUGE personality and want the world to see your work.
