Style showcases development slate

The 51 Minds series is Selita (working title), a docu-series that follows supermodel Selita Banks as she hits 30 and shifts her focus from the catwalk to the high street by launching a clothing line. Chris Abrego, Ben Samek and Rabih Gholam are executive producers.

From Lionsgate comes The Fabulist (w/t), which has Eli Frankel attached to exec produce. It’s billed as a “humorous half-hour countdown show” featuring tastemakers and pop culture junkies who debate luxury living.

The slate also includes Crazy Beautiful (w/t), which comes from 20 West Productions with Scot Thor as exec producer. It “provides intimate access to some of the bizarre, over-the-top and, often times, painful beauty regimens and procedures women will endure to achieve their desired looks”.

Fashion Phenoms (w/t) is from Bray Entertainment and pits child fashion designers against each other, while Keep the Party Moving! (w/t) is from Cineflix and uses into the ‘progressive dinner’ home entertainment trend as a backdrop for a competition series.

Schweet Entertainment-produced Style Junkies (w/t) is a comedic look at fashion-obsessed individuals and has Jack Osbourne attached as exec producer, while Matched by Design (w/t) is from PB&J Television and is a half-hour makeover show. Finally, Power House (w/t) comes from Magilla Entertainment and looks at a luxury real estate agency in New York billed as “the first to be owned by an African American woman”.

The shows add to a development slate that already includes Charlize Theron-exec produced competition series Glam Squad (w/t) . Style is part of the NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group.
