The Fashion Show (Bravo)
common sense media says
Retailored design show is Runway lite.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that there’s some name-dropping here when it comes to haute couture, designer brands, expensive looks, and hair styling products (courtesy of the show's sponsor, TRESemmé). There's also frequent use of words like "bitch" and "ass" -- along with descriptive phrases like "man berries" (code for "testicles") -- but stronger words like "f--k" and "s--t" are bleeped. In addition, there’s some occasional social drinking and heated verbal sparring between contestants and judges.
Positive role models:
Some contestants have over-inflated egos, but most are genuinely talented professionals who view their work as a vital expression of themselves.
Violence:
Some heated verbal sparring between contestants -- and, occasionally, judges.
Sex:
Although the goal is high fashion, some designs that come down the runway are revealing and could be considered "sexy."
Language:
Occasional use of words like "bitch," "damn," "sexy," and "sucks," plus slang terms like "hoochie" and "man berries." When words like "f--k" or "s--t" are used, they're bleeped.
Consumerism:
Plenty of designer name-dropping, plus promotional presence from Harper's Bazaar magazine and TRESemmé hair products. There’s also some cross-promotion with other Bravo brands (including the Housewives franchise and The Rachel Zoe Project).
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not much, though adult contestants might occasionally smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol in social situations.

Would not miss an episode
Extraordinary show!!! I wouldn't miss an episode! But there is some bad language, but most of it is beeped out.
