Designer Marc Jacobs is amongst the ranks of fashion celebs allured by the incessant yet revealing glare of a reality TV show or documentary film's lens. Jacobs recently disputed rumors of starring on the reality show Kept for Logo. Meanwhile, celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is "expanding her brand" on The Rachel Zoe Project. Anna Wintour, EIC of Vogue, even allowed a documentary crew to follow her during the months before the publication of Vogue's biggest issue of the year, in The September Issue.
Not to mention the ever-widening breadth in a milieux of fashion amateurs vying for recognition: Project Runway, Running in Heels, The Fashion Show, The Stylista, The Fashionista Diaries... and so the list continues.
And then, of course there's Lauren Conrad on The Hills, and Whitney Port on The City, parlaying their careers as reality TV stars into fashion. Could this pursuit by non-celebs have been the proponent for actual fashion stars to take their cue? Everyone will have their 15 minutes, after all.

Andy Warhol...smart man! I would definitely watch a reality show starring Marc Jacobs. He would have to remain shirtless throughout the shooting though because I love to gawk at his tattoos. Hah! It would also be great to see a "famous fashion people" Big Brother series. Ok, I'm being half serious. P.S. I stumbled across your blog on Blog Catalog and I love it. I started a pop culture blog called Good Indulgences for my 4th year University (that's what we call College in Canada)class. It's tons of fun! Cheers!
