The design competition is back – with Gigi Hadid as a brand new co-host!
Strike a pose! Next in Fashion will return for its long-awaited second season and, much like the world of fashion itself, there have been a few changes over the last three years.
Taking to the runway but as a host this time is Gigi Hadid, the international supermodel and TV personality who’ll be joining Tan France as the face of this high-stakes Netflix competition.
Welcoming a new group of up-and-coming designers onto the show, Gigi and Tan will be setting a series of challenges for the line-up to take on in the hopes of winning $200,000 (£165,000) and a deal with Rent the Runway.
With the likes of Emma Chamberlain, Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid and Donatella Versace appearing as guest judges, here’s everything you need to know about season 2 of Next in Fashion.

Netflix is yet to announce the contestant line-up for Next in Fashion’s second season, but we know there’ll be another group of up-and-coming designers competing for the show’s title.
The amateur designer who wins the show will get to launch their collection on Rent the Runway and take home the $200,000 prize.
