THE CW'S FASHIONS AN EARLIER PREMIERE DATE FOR NEW REALITY COMPETITION "STYLISTA" ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22 AT 9:00 PM

Series Debut Moves A Week Earlier Than Previously Announced

August 21, 2008 (Burbank, California) - The CW Network announced today that the series premiere of its new high fashion reality competition "Stylista," from the producers of "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway," is moving to Wednesday, October 22 (9:00-10:00p.m. ET), a week earlier than previously announced.

If "The Devil Wears Prada" were a reality show, it would be "Stylista." Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with Elle magazine. They work as assistants to Elle's Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a demanding but well-respected fashion icon. The competitors carry out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode.

Each week, in consultation with Elle's Creative Director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets "promoted" to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000.

"Stylista" is from 10 by 10 Entertainment, Inc. and Bankable Incorporated in association with Magic Molehill Productions, Inc. with executive producers Tyra Banks, Ken Mok, Eli Holzman, Desiree Gruber and Jane Cha.
