"Bravo's critically acclaimed reality competition shows that go inside creative professions have paved the way for the competitive spirit to thrive in an even more universal setting - the home," Bravo executive Frances Berwick stated in the network's announcement. "This creative new series combines the fast-paced and upscale world of interior design with high pressure and entertaining competition."
Unlike Project Runway and the network's Top Chef reality series, Top Designer -- first announced as a series in development under the Top Decorator title back in May -- will not be produced by Project Runway's producers. Instead, Top Designer will be produced by Stone & Company Entertainment, the folks responsible for Oxygen's Ivana Young Man and American Dream Derby. Prior to founding Stone & Company, Scott A. Stone was also a co-founder of Stone Stanley Entertainment, where he created and produced numerous reality projects including ABC's The Mole, The WB's Popstars, and Spike TV's The Joe Schmo Show.
Designers of all levels -- from trained professional interior designers to self-taught aspiring designers to non-professional artists with a passion for interior design -- are encouraged to apply for the show. Application information and submission guidelines are available via topdesignertv.com.
