Plot Synopsis

Eleven determined fashion mavens vie to prove themselves to Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a demanding but well-respected fashion icon at Elle magazine, for a chance for a job as a Junior Editor. Each week the contestants compete against each other by completing an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment until only one is left standing to become the new hire. Each week, in consultation with Elle's Creative Director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets 'promoted' to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000.
