"This series, unlike any other design challenge series, is going to give everyday people - moms and students and people who have a passion for design - an amazing opportunity to learn what it is like to create clothing for high profile people," said TLC programming executive Stephanie Bianco.
Hosted by Keisha Whitaker, each Who Are You Wearing? episode will follow four different designers as they are given the opportunity to create an outfit for a female celebrity. They'll use that celebrity's style and the event she will be attending as design guidelines, while also mixing in their own personal style traits.
At the end of each episode, the celebrity will decide which of the four designs she likes best before wearing it at a red carpet event.
"We had a lot of interesting people with great life stories on Who Are You Wearing?, and the series provides them with the opportunity to live out their dream, to try something never imagined possible," said Whitaker. "Our celebrities were all amazing clients -- and judges -- sharing their input and getting a custom-made design."
