Styling Hollywood

They filmed the fight about a baby. Netflix never filmed the baby.

Jason Bolden told cameras he was one cover away from a Black, queer Devil Wears Prada. Serena Williams on Teen Vogue, Anna Wintour notices, Vogue job, biopic. latestnetflix.com's take is that Netflix bought eight episodes of that hustle, dropped the whole season on 30 August 2019, and did not come back , .

The Hollywood Reporter announced the series on 23 July. Bolden was already on THR's 2019 list of the 25 most powerful stylists. First paid client, Gabrielle Union. Kingdom Reign Entertainment and ITV America produced. Carlos King created it. Angela Rae Berg ran the show. Netflix filed it as title 80204364. TMDB still calls the status a returning series. The Futon Critic filed it canceled after one season of eight , , .

The office was the plot.

Them counted five months of awards, Emmys through Oscars. Adair Curtis, husband and interior half of JSN Studio, spent those months gutting a house for Dule Hill and Jazmyn Simon. Kafia, operations manager and old friend, got hired and fired on a loop. Bolden told THR the running gag. "I've been hired multiple times by Adair and I've been fired multiple times by Adair." After one firing she texted "Hope u ok." New Yorker printed it. Melinda, a former Miss Norway, doubled as Adair's right hand and Jason's fit model. John, the new assistant, got the Devil Wears Prada pep talk, then lemon drops and Xanax. Jason summed the marriage as a bulldozer and a valet. Adair's version was blunter. "I work...and you play with dresses" , , .

On premiere day Bolden was in an Uber to the airport. Curtis had just left a $40 million Bird Streets build. Their own house was still in boxes. No art on the walls. Date night had become sleep. Cruz the goldendoodle got more love than the unused Viking range. Wikipedia, citing Attitude, called it the first reality series built around a gay Black male couple. The Gucci blackface sweater hit while Jason was dressing more than ten people for Oscars night. He rang Black designer Charles Harbison and ordered a custom gown for Ava DuVernay. "Not enough of us are designing and are on the carpet," he told him , , , .

The kid arrived. The cameras did not.

Season 1 ends with Adair pushing for a child and Jason dodging the surrogacy appointment. "This is the most serious that we've ever not agreed," Adair says on camera. Decider asked for an update the week it dropped. Curtis said there was an update, and that was the update. Fingers crossed on season 2 , .

Arrow Fox arrived via surrogate on 24 May 2021. They had married in August 2012. Bolden posted that the baby was two weeks early and right on time. Curtis wrote, "Your dads are already obsessed with you." People got the first photos. Nicki Swift later quoted Bolden dangling the infant at Netflix. "We would love a second season. Then you can finally meet the kid." The official trailer is still the red-carpet pitch they sold before anyone knew the season count would stay at one , , , .
