Are you a fan of ‘Project Runway’ and ‘America’s Next Top Model’? I love these TV competition programmes because I enjoy seeing designers and models playing magic to fawn on sarcastic judges. When I discovered another TV competition programme ‘Stylista’, I was so surprised and became its loyal follower immediately. ‘Stylista’ selects the best editor among the competitors and offers a prize of a one-year contract with the ELLE magazine junior editor.
