Naomi was reason enough to tune in, but with Coco joining her this become a must see!

Quote:

Naomi Campbell is heading to New York to film her TV show, and she’s getting some top designers onboard. The supermodel will start making “The Face” here early next month. The Oxygen show is a search for a new top model who will become the face of a major national brand. And sources tell us that designers Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen have been approached about taking a role on the show, which also features Karolina Kurkova as a judge.

I'm not a fan, but getting Marc on board would be kind of huge. Sure beats Bryanboy anyways. Any word on a premier date?

[dpbenson]

There is no premiere date. Given that the casting calls were last month and they are still firming people up for the show, I'd guess that this will air in 2013.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell is set to front a new reality competition TV show. The beauty will serve as a judge on upcoming Oxygen series The Face, which will give undiscovered talent the chance to pursue their dream of becoming a spokesperson for a national brand. Network executive Rod Aissa tells The Hollywood Reporter, "The Face is a fresh new series that delivers all the elements our audience craves: fashion, beauty and drama. Oxygen has been looking for the next ideation in the modeling genre and this project delivers it." Campbell, as well as two other unnamed coaches, will mentor the contestants and offer tips to each participant to better prepare them for the business. The Vogue covergirl joins the likes of Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum, who have both launched their own modelling programmes in America. A premiere date has not yet been set.

Can already tell I won't like Coco there but to see Naomi and Karolina might be worth watching..

[LabelWhore4]

Looks great. Are those the models in the video?

[Hector]

cant wait! love coco and karolina.

[Littleathquakes]

I hope that piece between Naomi and KK was staged...cuz KK does not need the shade.

[sophiee]

Looks totally staged lol.

At 0:26-0:27 for instance. Even Tyra is a better actress than that to be honest

[Lavieisashe]

Tyra Banks must be dying now...

I saw this yesterday on Dutch tv

^hmm...i hope that's not the only grand prize. even ANTM gives the winner representation with a top NY agency.

[Littleathquakes]

I don't think it mattered...Tyra's picks were questionable at best. Even with representation, they're not what the industry apparently wants, cause the winners are not getting the exposure.

At least with this one, we might see the girls walk in real runway shows, and I think that's more credible than doing small almost anonymous and arguably staged runway shows.
