In a attempt to break into the reality show world Tommy Hilfiger tried to press his luck with his first reality show in 2005 named The Cut. At first glance The Cut may seem like a 60 minute advertisement for Tommy Hilfiger clothing and home furnishings but is actually a fun show that will make you wear Tommy Hilfiger clothing when you see it. Much like Bravo's Project Runway The Cut is a excellent and superb show but in my eyes CBS should have promoted it more and it should've had a second successful season but due to it's low promotion CBS cancelled it with no warning but I do wish CBS would put The Cut on DVD because it truly was a great summer hit for 2005moreless
First off, I never liked his friggin' label. Forgive me if I get harsh in this review, but the guy literally stinks. In my opinion, I'm surprised he didn't sink two careers at once: as a designer and as a reality TV star. This so-called trendsetter is crying and begging for attention by starting a reality TV show and having to use that media to hire new designers. That would be okay if he wasn't trying to be Donald or Martha. He needs to drop the friggin' "You're out of style! Hit the runway!" catch phrase. In short, the guy sucks.moreless
The show was entertaining to watch. The contestants were great competitors, and knowledgeable. They all brought a different style. However, I was rooting for Chris the whole time with his poetic vision and passion. He has a special knowing that no one else had - and something that the Hilfiger brand needs.
Being truly interested in designing, I found The Cut to be refreshing and also I learned much from viewing the shows. I now realize that the show displays many human ranges of emotions. The Cut was named correctly for the way each designer CUT the othermoreless
Each designer on the show displayed great talent. I do not think they will have any difficulty finding a nitch in the fashion world. I truly enjoyed viewing Elizabeth's creations, but hated her indeciveness. Princess was too busy being self centered that she missed the boat regarding the majority of society and their wallet. Chris shows great potential, his style mimics T.Hilfiger, perhaps too much! Deanna is great for the valley girls but not for the East Coastal fashion. I liked Wes and Felix and wish them the best in their design career. Would I watch the program again...Maybe...if it has some different twists. moreless
I enjoy the show very much and believe that it was wonderful of Mr. Hilfinger to put his reputation on the line in order to help other to expand their visions. He is trying to help them grow both the world of society and business.
I agree with him in many of his decision. The do not show a lot of creativity in many of their designs.
