Listen Later

We’re taking you behind the scenes—to give you an exclusive peek into the making of OMG Fashun www.omgfashun.com But that’s not all. We’ll dive deep into intimate conversations with these contestants—scratch that, fashion disruptors—who dared to defy the norm and redefine what it means to create.

But before we dive into the world of our extraordinary contestants, we’re sitting down with two of the people behind the show—Co-Executive Producer Rich Brusa and Producer Marcy Guevara-Prete. Rich is no stranger to the limelight, with three Emmy nominations and two Critic’s Choice Awards under his belt. He’s worked on iconic shows like Project Runway, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and Top Chef. Marcy, a host and plus-size style expert, has been featured on Rachael Ray, The Dr. Oz Show, Hallmark Home, and Oprah.com. These two powerhouses are here to spill the tea on what went into creating ‘OMG Fashun.’

Rich and Marcy will take us behind the scenes, revealing the trials, triumphs, and everything in between that went into making this show a reality. From Julia Fox’s game-changing vision to the intense vetting process that whittled down the contestants to just 30, they’ll share it all.

We’ll also hear how sustainability played a crucial role in the show, its impact on the fashion industry, and what it was really like to work with fashion heavyweights Julia Fox and Law Roach.
