What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this fashion-centric reality series about up-and-coming junior stylists features some catty, sneaky behavior as the stylists vie for a prized contract with an L.A. agency. But the cast members also learn lessons about professionalism, working with clients, and dealing with pressure. Expect some salty language (though words like “f--k” and s--t” are bleeped) and occasional drinking, plust lots of references to/appearances by fashion brands like Betsey Johnson and magazines like Vogue.
Positive role models:
The featured stylists were chosen based on their talent, but some of them demonstrate sneaky behavior, including one assistant who underhandedly gets special clothes for a client. Other assistants crack under pressure and/or have problems with job expectations.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Stylists choose clothes designed to make their clients look “sexy” at award shows and publicity events, etc. The assistants, models, and clients are occasionally seen standing in their underwear.
Language:
Words like “hell” and “pissed” are audible, while curses like “f--k” and “s--t” are fully bleeped.
Consumerism:
Brands like Betsey Johnson and magazines like Vogue are mentioned. Blackberry phones are visible. Each episode features music that's available for download on Rhapsody.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Alcohol (wine, champagne) is sometimes visible. Jen Rade frequently notes whether the assistants should or shouldn’t be on Valium (but is usually only half serious).
