Mourning the loss of Jessica Simpson’s Fashion Star? Don’t, because there is a much better replacement coming to mend our broken hearts. Starting in December, you can watch a six-part television series called The Fashion Fund, which follows the ten CFDA finalists as they compete for the $300,000, career-making mentorship and Anna Wintour’s permission to become wildly successful.

How do we get it?) will include the type of footage we’ve been conditioned to expect from the fashion-insider reality-TV genre: "behind-the-scenes studio visits, a Vogue photo shoot, and catwalk shows,” reports British Vogue. Condé Nast will probably ensure this is a “classy,” “intelligent” glimpse into the industry, meaning no catfights, hair pulling, or breakdowns, but who cares? This is like the Real World: Anna Wintour Edition. Someone is bound to cry.
