If I had been more inspired then, this is what I would’ve designed in the “Real Woman” challenge of The Fashion Show. It was inspired by the blue body paintings of the 1960’s French artist Yves Klein.

I made it using my own body as a stamp. What do you think? Buy yours here!

Many of you have asked me where to buy my white siamese twin shirt dress after seeing it on this week’s episode of The Fashion Show.  (Because it was not the winning design, it is not available for sale on Bravotv.com)  

Given the great amount of interest from all of you fabulously chic viewers, I am happy to announce that I am now selling the dress here on my website!

If you have any problems, feel free to contact me at info@angelchang.com

Thank you for all your support and see you on the next episode of The Fashion Show!

THE FASHION SHOW premieres tonight at 10pm on Bravo!

Watch me as I compete with fifteen other emerging fashion designers for the final cash prize of $125,000 and retail account. The ten-week series will be hosted/judged by fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, performing artist Kelly Rowland, and Fern Mallis of IMG Fashion. 

When I was invited to participate in the show I had to think deep about what this really meant for me. After all, these types of shows are known more for their entertainment value than for any promise of advancing a designer’s career. Being the technophile that I am, I contacted mobile behavior guru Allison Mooney at MobileBehavior and learned the different ways people could interact via wireless communication and social networking today.

We came up with a ground-breaking idea that has never been done before on reality TV. Using “The Fashion Show” as medium for a much larger experiment, this is what we came up with…

1)     NECKLACE - VIEWER INTERACTIVITY

In each episode of “The Fashion Show,” I will be wearing a necklace with a word relating to that day. Viewers are asked to text that word to 83733 on their cell phones between 10 and 11pm tonight.

If viewers get the word right, they will get a response from me to visit a certain website or meet up at a location that weekend. “Meet me for a sandwich at An Choi this Sunday at 3pm.” “Come grab a drink with me at Café Select Saturday night.”  The message will change each week.  This mobile service, powered by MobileBehavior, will allow me to coordinate physical meet-up spots to meet viewers and friends.

2)     TV PARTY ON TWITTER 

I will also be on Twitter during each episode, so viewers can “chat” with me as each event is happening on TV. We will be using social networking to do real-time group chats to bring viewers closer together. Do you like my shoes in the first scene? I’ll tell you who made them. How about my t-shirt in the first challenge? I’ll make one for you! 

3)     LIMITED-EDITION T-SHIRTS

I will also sell limited-edition t-shirts relating to each week’s episode on my website. A new design will launch each week! Die-hard reality TV fans can pre-order the shirts and receive them in time to wear during their viewing parties for the matching episode.

4)     MEET ME ON FACEBOOK

Viewers can join my Facebook Page to view pictures of what’s happening at each week’s meet-up location, updates on my limited-edition t-shirts, and links that I’d like to share with fans.

I am excited to be testing this new form of viewer activity on such a national platform and hope that you will join me tonight — on your TV sets, on your cell phones, on your laptops, and in person this weekend.

As the inventor Dennis Gabor once said, “The future cannot be predicted, but futures can be invented. It was man’s ability to invent which has made human society what it is.” We must push the boundaries of what it means to be a fashion designer today, stimulate new ways of thinking, and find ways to stay ahead in today’s fast-changing world.

Watch me on THE FASHION SHOW on Bravo every Thursday at 10pm starting tonight!
(The season will last 10 weeks.)

See you tonight on Bravo!
