The Cut is a reality television series for world class fashion designers hosted and sponsored by fashion designer and billionaire Tommy Hilfiger. Sixteen designers split into new teams each week to complete tasks, with a player eliminated each round.[1][2] The show debuted on CBS, and shifted timeslots through the summer.[1][3] Of note was the catch phrase Hilfiger used for each elimination ("you're out of style"), celebrity appearances, and the New York City setting.[1][2][4][5] The winner had the opportunity to design a clothing line for HIllfiger.[2][6]
In the final, three contestants, Shante "Princess" Warren, Elizabeth Saab, and Chris Cortez, were allowed to bring back former teammates to help design a window display.[7] Hilfiger chose Cortez as the winner.[7]
