You may not be able to hop on a plane to Paris Fashion Week anytime in the foreseeable future, but Amazon’s new series “Making the Cut” aims to provide that same experience from the comfort of self-quarantine.
The series from “Project Runway” alums Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn and executive producer Sara Rea puts a global spin on the fashion design show format, whisking the contestants off to Paris in the first episode for a fashion show under the glow of the Eiffel Tower. Later episodes see the designers freely wandering through a pre-pandemic Tokyo in search of inspiration.
“We wanted to take them to fashion capitals, emerging capitals, and give them sort of the best of the best,” said Rea, who worked with Gunn and Klum for years on “Project Runway” and joined the duo when they decided to leave for a new project at Amazon.
