Style’s upcoming series, Styled to Rock, has added another big name to its cast. The reality competition series has signed on a lady in the second mentoring slot, and this time, the mentor won’t be a music maker. Instead, Styled to Rock has signed on Erin Wasson, a model and actress who has appeared in numerous fashion spreads, as well in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Rihanna is executive producing the brand new series, which will follow 12 designers facing off in a competitive format. Over the course of 10 episodes, the designers will compete in challenges to style A-List talent for events. The celebrity guest each week will choose the winner, but it will be up to the mentors to work with the remaining contestants to determine who fell short, and who will be packing their needles and going home. According to a press release, network President Salaam Coleman Smith is delighted to have signed on Wasson.
“We could not have asked for a better addition to our team. As a leading model and mainstay in the fashion industry, Erin’s unapologetic approach to fashion and free-spirited style will give the Styled to Rock designers invaluable insight.”
Wasson isn’t the only fashion-oriented individual signed on to Styled to Rock. Just a few days ago, musician and fashion designer Pharrell Williams also signed on to the new series as a mentor. While the current two mentors don’t have much in common, they have both designed collections in the past and should be able to bring some fashion expertise to the program. Three mentors are expected to be used in Season 1 of Style Network's series, and we’ll let you know if any other famous faces sign on.
