Martha Stewart Presents TV Specials to Debut with Focus on Fashion Designers
Posted in: Uncategorized
On the set of The Martha Stewart Show, Stewart and Vogue editor at large Andre Leon Talley bond over their admiration of fashion designer Ralph Rucci.
Multitalented Martha Stewart recently announced that the television portion of her omnivorous empire has found a new home on cable TV, and it’s not only The Martha Stewart Show—her wide-ranging chat show (lace-covered Easter eggs! a Halloween/pet extravaganza! faux bois 101!)—that will debut next month on Hallmark Channel. Stewart is also bringing the 24-hour basic cable network novel programming, including an hour-long talk show version of Whatever, the addictive satellite radio show hosted by Alexis Stewart (Martha’s daughter) and the effervescent Jennifer Koppelman Hutt. There’s also Martha Stewart Presents, a new series of primetime interview specials that will kick off on September 13 with a celebration of “the women who dress America”: fashion designers Diane Von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, Tory Burch, and Jenna Lyons.
Timed to coincide with the close of New York Fashion Week, the original special will feature Stewart going one-on-one with fashion empire builders to discuss their passions, their ideals, and the trends they favor for the seasons ahead. “I’m looking forward to hosting these primetime specials for Hallmark Channel and to having very candid conversations with these four interesting and influential women,” said Stewart in a statement issued by the network. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring our viewers a different side of the world of fashion and a better understanding of the challenges and rewards of being on fashion’s front lines.” Can’t wait ’til September 13 to watch Stewart talk fashion?
