Supermodel and actress Kim Alexis‘ pioneering reality TV show, “She’s Got the Look” is the “America’s Next Top Model” for aspiring models who are 35+ years old. The finalists on the program, which premieres June 4, 2008 on TV Land, range in age from 35 to 63. Trailblazing supermodel and entrepreneur Beverly Johnson is one of the judges.
The six-episode series, a collaboration with Wilhelmina Models, Inc., sets out to discover a sophisticated, beautiful and confident woman 35 or older destined to become the next great supermodel. The winner will receive a lucrative modeling contract with Wilhelmina Models, Inc. and a photo spread for SELF Magazine. Iconic supermodel Kim Alexis, who has graced the covers of more than 500 magazines, hosts the show. Supermodel Beverly Johnson — who made history as the first African-American model to appear on the cover of American Vogue – celebrity stylist Robert Verdi and Wilhelmina president Sean Patterson are featured as regular judges on the series.
The series is executive produced by Emmy Award-Winner Allison Grodner (”Big Brother,” “Blowout”). TV Land’s nationwide search, which included months of online submissions, auditions and regional competitions around the country, resulted in flying 20 contenders to New York City. These semi-finalists were put to the test of expressing themselves and their fashion know-how. Ten finalists were then selected to live in a New York City loft and compete in challenges such as photo shoots, runway competitions and tests on their fashion sense. At the conclusion of the competition, one woman will be crowned the ultimate winner.
“Television and the fashion world have historically overlooked real women in their 40s and 50s,” states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. “TV Land is thrilled to showcase in an entertaining way these ten gorgeous women with rich life experiences.”
“Wilhelmina is so excited to be able to show that beauty has no age limits,” states Sean Patterson, president of Wilhelmina Models. “We look forward to adding the winner of this competition to our ever-expanding roster of beautiful men and women.”
