Making the Cut returns with Season 3 on Amazon Prime with Emmy winners Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn as hosts of the show. Ten budding designers and entrepreneurs from across the world will compete in the show to showcase their creativity and emerge as the "next big global fashion brand."
Winners will receive $1 million to invest in their business and a chance to be mentored by Amazon Fashion. Additionally, they will get a "chance to create an exclusive co-brand with Amazon Fashion and launch their existing brands in the Amazon Fashion store."
Each week, the contestants will have to create an "accessible look" and a "runway look" that will be showcased in a fashion show. Making the Cut Season 3 will take place in Los Angeles, while the runway shows will be hosted at Vasquez Rocks, Rodeo Drive, and a skyscraper rooftop.
Speaking about the new season of the fashion reality series, Klum admitted that things got pretty "heated" on the judging panel this year. She told Newsweek:
"Jeremy has a little bit of a fit. I don't know if you saw in some of the trailers already, he got very upset with one of the designers, which I happen to love!"
Who will be the guest judges on Making the Cut Season 3?
Klum will be a judge on the show along with returning judges Nicole Richie, the creative director of House of Harlow 1960, and Jeremy Scott, the creative director of Moschino. Along with these experts, the show will bring in a host of guest judges, and we have listed their details below.
